Hi,
I'm trying to create AIR between 2 NetBackup instance set ( both got a primary server and media server for msdp) in Flex 5250 under the same domain.
I'm using this guide to do it.
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/25074086-149019166-0/v148946687-149019166
However, I'm stuck when executing this step:
Deploying the certificate at storage server of source domain
/nbcertcmd -getCACertificate -server target_master_server
It says nbcertcmd must be superuser to execute, with exit status 140.
I still a newbie to NetBackup and Linux. How can I solve this problem?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @din_ibrahim
When you log into the instance you log in using the appadmin ID. You need to become root and the way to ahcieve this is to use the "sudo -s" command - it will prompt for the appadmin password, and then you will have a root shell and be able to run the nbcertcmd.
Cheers

Just to check....you have created at least one SLP with a replication copy, right ? And then configured that SLP in a policy as the backup destination? And then run that policy and gotten a successful backup ? =)
Setting up AIR is just one part of it - you have to also send things to it to process. Note that default replication processing can take a while, you have to either run out the default timer & it'll trigger a short job, or come up with enough data to replicate that it meets-or-beats the size amount.
For reference, by default :
SLP.MIN_SIZE_PER_DUPLICATION_JOB = 8 GB
SLP.MAX_TIME_TIL_FORCE_SMALL_REPLICATION_JOB = 30 minutes

hi @davidmoline
Thank you. Manage to do it as per your advice. Now I can see the AIR in the SLP.
However, how can I confirm that it is running? So far the activity monitor on the targeted primary and media server doesn't show anything related to AIR activity and my disk pool only a few hundred MBs used. BTW, the target primary and media server is newly created without any other policies and clients.
Many thanks.
