Re: [Veritas-bu] Help! Lost access to administrative
Chris, Check for the following in your master server bp.conf file and comment them out: REQUIRED_INTERFACE = MEDIA_SERVER = master name CONNECT_OPTIONS = your-pc-client 0 1 1 SERVER_RESERVED_PORT_WINDOW = xxx xxx SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = xxx xxx RANDOM_PORTS = xxx Many times those can interfere with the java console. Having port windows set to a very limited range, or specifying incorrect connect options for the pc's can cause these sort of problems. The MEDIA_SERVER flag will also limit functionality in some cases and if you have that set for the master server you may want to take it out. For required interface - it's just good to eliminate that potential issue. If those are present - try commenting them out and recycling. See if the gui works then. If it does - you may want to try adding the lines back one at a time to see which one caused the problem you're seeing. Generally if you see the backup archive and restore gui when you should see the full admin console - there is a name resolution problem (with a status 25 it's generally reverse host name look-up.) If you install the client piece on the pc - you can try running the following: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd -hn backup-master C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx of master C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpclntcmd -pn (which should verify the connection to the backup master server). You can run the same things of course from the linux master to your pc. - Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the forecast with theYahoo!

No help at all. I made a few changes via the console GUI and now I don't have access to any of the admin commands. When I crank up the GUI, all I get is the Backup, Archive and Restore menu option. I get this whether I'm at my workstation in my office or on the console. snip Your excellent sig has inspired me. :-) I'm guessing you were setting up the NetBackup Access Control (NBAC) stuff? and/or the Authorization options? or perhaps vopied? (that last one is rarer than hen's teeth, so I'm guessing not...) Just off the cuff, I think you'll be back to normal if you just do the following: 1. log in to your master server as root 2. stop the NetBackup daemons with netbackup stop or bp.kill_all 3. cd /usr/openv/var/authorize.txt; mv authorize.txt bad-authorize.txt 4. vi /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf and change any USE_VXSS values to PROHIBITED (and my hunch is that you could probably get away with just doing #4...) Assuming you can now access NBU again, you can take your time figuring out what went wrong! ;-) Here's good reference for the rather-delicate configuration of NetBackup Access Control: http://support.veritas.com/docs/281626 HTH rob ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
