opened TCP port 13720 on public lan, all work fine.
hello sdo, (thank you in first time)
this appliance is new, and I think that this existing configuration is a previous configuration ended bad. I should also reset to default the appliance but I think that the problem persist, have you some idea when I can find some logs ?? I just check "/log/netbackup/admin" on the appliance with this interesting:
14:56:58.769 [121364.121364] <32> dsm_create_storageserver: CORBA exception: system exception, ID 'IDL:omg.org/COR BA/OBJECT_NOT_EXIST:1.0' Unknown vendor minor code id (0), minor code = 0, completed = NO 14:56:58.770 [121364.121364] <16> creatests: failed to create storage server appliance08 (bp_status = 25) 14:56:58.770 [121364.121364] <2> nbdevconfig: operation returned status = 25 14:56:58.770 [121364.121364] <16> DevConfigCLI::analyzeOp: Failed to create storage server appliance08 cannot connec t on socket
Have you loaded a valid license?
If you still have only the default v2.7.3 shipped demo/temporary/shipping license installed, and if you re-image the appliance then this brings back the old demo/temporary/shipping, then that demo/temporary/shipping license for v2.7.3 expired on 31-Oct-2016.
If the above is the case, then you have two options:
1) Keep a valid system/BIOS date, and install a valid license key (and you may as well remove the old demo license while you are at it).
2) Bodge the BIOS date, and use the demo/temporary/shipping license, but risk the bad system date affecting your backups and/or corrupting other elements of your production backup infrastructure.
i have inserted a valid license

<2>bpminlicense: EXIT status = 0
I tried to reset to default factory and restart the configuration, but it is not end fine. I can see a difference, now the appliance is partitioned fine, only it can't create the disk pool. I would like to create the DP by myself but the deduppassword is not configured.

Enter storage configuration properties.
You have the opportunity to configure AdvancedDisk and Media Sever Deduplication Pool (MSDP) partitions.
You can view a summary of the storage settings and edit them, if desired.
1. To configure a storage pool, you must enter the following:
The size, the diskpool name, and the storage unit name.
2. To skip configuration, enter 0 (zero) when prompted for the size.
This also deletes any existing data.
3. To keep the storage pool intact, choose the default size, if applicable.

You aren't supposed to create the DPs on an appliance manually. You want the automated processes to be used, so don't try doing it or you will likely make things worse.
Did you factory reset or re-image? Did you reset storage when you did that?
