[Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console
So I've tried tracking down the process for doing this but have come up empty in both the admin guides and Symantec knowledge base. I've opened a case with Symantec but it's a 6 hour callback so I figured maybe someone here has this info or can refer me to a specific procedure in one of the guides that I've missed. Environment: NBU v6.5.3 on master server running Oracle Enterprise Linux (really just a useless version of RHEL). Specifically, I'm trying to configure the remote Windows admin console on a 64- bit W2K3 server to be used by a non-admin user with relying on Active Directory for authorization. Oh yeah, this is behind a firewall too. The authorization configuration on the master server is rather cryptic and there just isn't a clear step-by-step process on how to do this (from the packages I need installed on the master to the firewall ports to open to the actual config on the master). I would have used the Java console instead but discovered there isn't one for 64-bit Windows until 6.5.4 is realease.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console
Did you add the name of the W2K3 server to the other servers list on the Master? By default Netbackup does not talk to strangers. So you have to put the server with the console on the list of friends he is allowed to talk to. This is a security feature to stop just anybody from being able to run a console.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console
Yeah, I’ve already added the system to bp.conf but no luck. The user I’m logged in as on the Windows box doesn’t have admin privileges there but I don’t have any issue providing that user root login on the master server, which is the account I’m using when providing credentials via the admin console. I’ll check the port config guide, I’m thinking I missed a port somewhere… From: rusty.ma...@sungard.com [mailto:rusty.ma...@sungard.com] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 11:54 To: Cornely, David Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console David, The port configuration guide does a pretty good job at showing what ports are required. For the Windows Admin Console, I think you'll have to use Media Server ports as it's a stripped down Media Server. I've not tried using AD, but the authorization for Windows Admin Consoles requires SERVER= entries in bp.conf, again because it's an almost Media Server. Without NBAC, I don't think you can get around letting this admin log on without anything other than root priviledges, but then again, I've not tried to lock anyone down before.

[Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console/GUI problem
NBU Admin Console 5.1 GUI (PC client) fails to connect to our master NBU server, now that both PC and master are behind a firewall. NBU master is Sol9, Enterprise v5.1. Firewall admins say ports (13782, et. al.) are open for me and it seems to build correctly, then random ports get denied. I opened a call with Veritas, but havent heard back from them. Can you answer this question from our firewall admin: If the ports are randomly being created, then we are in heap of trouble. We do not well with random ports issues. Can you verify the random ports issue? Thank you.
Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows Admin Console/GUI problem
See the NetBackup System Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Volume I, pp. 344-357 It is more complicated than just opening the defined ports.
