Re: [Veritas-bu] 6.5.4 Remote Java Admin probs

Unfortunately I cannot suggest a resolution to the issue,
however I will note that we just upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.5.4, and I updated my
desktop Java Console to 6.5.4 as well, and everything has been working fine
since. In fact, in comparison, the 6.5.4 version of the java console "seems", so
far anyway, to be better than the older 6.5 GA version I had
been using. I fully agree that the Java console has been rather flaky
throughout various NB releases and patch levels, but I still prefer it to the
native Windows GUI, when I have to use the GUI. (I'm a CLI guy mostly, but
sometimes I have to break down and recall how to use a mouse.) The issue
sounds like some kind of a communication issue - perhaps a network delay that
the newer java version is more sensitive. Just a thought.
Dave,
I can't tell you how glad I am to see someone else with
this issue.
Since 6.x, we've had
some really strange issues with the Java GUI that we've chalked up mostly to
version differences througout our environment (we managed quite a few different
NBU domains geographically dispersed). We upgraded an environment to 6.5.3 a
couple of weeks ago and subsequently upgraded the remote windows Java GUI to
6.5.3 (from 6.5.0) and now it will not work at all on this freshly upgraded
site, as well as another site. The remaining sites all work just fine. Keep in
mind that we have changed nothing else and suddenly this site and another (that
was working great before) are not working with the java gui.
The login screen works fine and I can see
comments about it building panels and whatnot and then it switches to the Admin
Console view and it's completely blank. I get nothing.
I have a case open and I've done lots of DNS/bpclntcmd
troubleshooting and sent all kinds of logs, even from a working server so they
can compare them and they still haven't found anything. Again, nothing changed
except the patch to 6.5.3 for one Master and the Java GUI and it immediately
broke something for at least two environments. I have not yet uninstalled the
Java GUI 6.5.3 patch to get at least some functionality back, but then we can't
get to some panels at all at that level.
As soon as I can get about an hour free, I'm going to do a snoop on the
working server and non-working server and dig in to that.
I've never been a big fan of the 6.x java gui as it has
been super flaky. My kingdom for a web interface.

| [Veritas-bu] 6.5.4 Remote Java
Admin probs |

Guys i recently upgraded from Nbu 5.0MP7 to NBU6.5 on Solaris 10
Master.
All went well.
We access the infrastructure through a
windows terminal server which i installed the Java Admin console on. Again
everything fine.
I updated to 6.5.4 on the master and all was good. I
updated to 6.5.4 on the windows java and now the gui is just behaving
strangely.
Once logged in I can't seem to get any panes to get data
and it just sits there with the clock spinning for some time.
I'm a
bit confused as to where to look for problems. I'm not doing any
authentication fanciness or anything i'm just logging in as root using
the console. It was all perfect at 6.5 base though.
Anyone seen
this at
all? Cheers
