Credential Validation Failed (Oracle RAC)
Hi everyone, My customer has 2 nodes Oracle Database (RAC) and I need to integrate that database with NetBackup 11 to backup the database. The connection between NetBackup and Oracle DB nodes is totally fine. I have already installed NetBackup Client on one node. My problem is that I discovered the database successfully, but when I added a credential for it (using Oracle credential), though the credential still works fine locally and has all the necessary privileges, the validation is still failed. Did I do something wrong or Did I miss any configuration steps ? What should I do next to fix this problem ?K8s apiserver certificate expired in primary server
Hello, i don't know why but the certificate of two K8s clusters (the certificates associates to the apiservers of the clusters, and related to the host-ids created in NBU during the registration) has expired. Now i need to renew them because during the backup of the clusters the snapshot operation is completed successfully but the backup from snapshot ends always in error. So i need to renew the certificate. How can i proceed? I can generate a reissue token for it but i'm not sure where to use it, and if are there any additional tasks i need to ask to the K8s admin. Thank you, regards,
Manual Replication (AIR)
We have two domains, both using Data domains. Currently , replication(AIR) isn't setup between the domains. we are planning to decommission one domain, but before doing so, we want to replicate(through AIR) some long term backup images to other domain for future restore purposes. Is it possible to configure the replication ( through AIR) between two domains now( using Data domains)and manually replicate the existing backup images from one domain to another? If yes, would restore be possible from the second domain after the first domain is decommissioned?. Thanks!!
Oracle RMAN backup fails
Hi everyone. I’m having a small issue with Oracle RMAN. When the archivelog backup runs (using the default application backup policy), RMAN throws an error at the end, but NetBackup reports the backup as successful. Has anyone run into this before? NetBackup 10.1 — RMAN log is attached. released channel: ch00 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ch00 channel at 12/08/2025 16:01:56 ORA-19509: failed to delete sequential file, handle="bk4ar48v_150900_1_1", parms="" ORA-19511: non RMAN, but media manager or vendor specific failure, error text: Failed to remove, bk4ar48v_150900_1_1, from image catalog.

Speed Up Cloud Universal Share Backups with Accelerator
Delivered with the NetBackup Client software, users can now accelerate the backup and recovery of their Cloud Universal Shares! Universal share accelerator doesn't provide the NFS or SMB service, but what it does provide is a direct file system mount point on the workload or client. The data goes directly to the cloud bucket and avoids traversing the storage server by saving you time! How does it work? Ensure you have created your MSDP cloud LSU. These can be either AWS S3 or Azure Blobs. Install the client software on your workload or client and be sure to fill in the information regarding Universal Share Accelerator. Login to the NetBackup WebUI and go to Storage -> Disk Storage -> Universal Shares -> +Add Display name: The share ID which will be used to mount on the NetBackup Client or workload. Type: Choose Accelerator. Storage server: The storage server host name. Disk volume: The MSDP cloud disk volume. Quota: Unlimited by default. Hosts: The NetBackup Client hostname. Go to the client and configure the universal share accelerator. /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh --config --storage-server=<storage server> --engine-host=<hostname> --mode=byo --storage-path=<path> storage-server: The storage server name. engine-host: Engine name of the cluster or storage server of the standalone server. mode: Accelerator mode, it should be byo. storage-path: List of local storage paths, comma separated with no spaces, and those paths should be pre-created. Next mount or create the Universal Share Accelerator. /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh –create --share-id=<ID> --cloud-volume=<MSDP cloud disk volume> share-id: Universal Share ID, which can be found in the section storage configuration section and tab Universal shares in the NetBackup WebUI. cloud-volume: Cloud volume, it's the column 'Volume' in the tab Universal shares. Start up the Universal Share Accelerator. /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh –start-all Go to Protection -> Policies -> +Add button. Policy Name: Give the policy a name. Policy Type: Choose Universal-Share. Policy STU: Select the STU that maps to the cloud AWS S3 or Azure Blob. Click on the Schedules tab and create your backup schedule. Click on the Clients tab and add the Universal Share Accelerator clients’ name. Add what share you would like to backup. Perform your backup! NetBackup enterprise tools makes backing up, maintaining, and recovering your data easier and more secure than ever!
