You should only need to use SSH for new installs. Upgrades should be able to use the NetBackup client it'self to push the updates across. Here's some of my notes: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ssh NEWHOST NOTE: you must first have ssh keys for root in place first for

Re: [Veritas-bu] Could not build host list when running bpexpdate.

I believe this technote is saying that one of the media servers is having issues resolving its own hostname, or the master can't resolve the media server hostname. Though if that was the issue, you'd be having more issues than just bpexdate failures. Have you decommed any media servers lately?

[Veritas-bu] checking backup quality

If you want a 100% fool proof verification, restore the data to /dev/null. Even then, who knows what might happen to that tape the very next day... That's why multiple copies are so important, or retention periods that overlap by a couple of reiterations.

If you can only aford one master, I wouldn't cluster it across the WAN. If your link goes down and both nodes start acting as the primary node, you'll never get them back in sync without blowing away something valuable on one or the other. Also, I don't think NetBackup masters are supported
