Re: [Veritas-bu] Client not seeing Master

Hi,

Rather than guessing—mkdir /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpcd on the master, client (or Windows equivalents) and set VERBOSE = 5 on the master, client—what does it say in the logs after doing that + trying to initiate a backup?

I would not recommend using the 32-bit client; regarding the Symantec driver I will defer to someone who is running a Windows master server.

I’d also recommend moving to 7.1 if you have a small environment, else wait for 7.5; it should be out soon from what I hear.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Client not seeing Master

OS: Windows Server 2008R2 x64

NBU: 7.0.1 x64

I am re-acclimating myself with NBU after a 1.5 year absence, so please bear with me. I am trying to configure a fresh install between two servers and have the client write directly to the disk of the master. When I enter the master server name, during the client install, it says it cannot connect/contact the master server. I can ping the master server by name and IP, so the network and DNS are fine. Do I need to add the name of the client server somewhere on the master? Should I use the x86 version of NBU instead?

Even though I do not have a tape device connected, do I still need to install the Symantec driver? I only ask because I noticed an unknown PCI device, in Device Manager. If so, is there a driver for 2008R2 x64.

Thanks,
