Re: [Veritas-bu] Converting standard client to a media server

Hey Dennis,

Did you change the IP or hostname?

clear host cache (bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache) on all boxes?

Restart PBX on master?

Can you run nbemmcmd -listhosts from the new media server?

Did you manually add the new media server to the master: ./nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename <newmedianame> -machinetype -media -masterserver <mastername> -operatingsystem <os type> -netbackupversion <version>

I think that's what the command is.

I'm sure you've done all that, but thought I would throw it out there.

Netbackup 7.5.0.5
Both boxes are RedHat Linux Release 6
Box "A" is the master and has always been the master/media server.
Box "B" has always been a standard client backing up across the network.

Licensing purchased and Box "B" was cleanly installed as a media server.

The master server can't see Box "B" as a media server.
bp.conf file checked and tweaked on both boxes.
Netbackup has been stopped and restarted several times.

Tried to manually add it to the master and I get this message:
globalDB hostname has not been set (Status 4)

4 of us have tried to get this working.....all have failed so far.

Tips, pointers, tricks, advice......all would be appreciated.
