  • What about media servers do they also have USE_VXSS = PROHIBITED

  • Hi,

     

    Are you 100% certain you're not using NBAC. Please check bp.conf / registry for USE_VXSS settings.

     

    You said two years, strangely enough this note mentions credentials expiring after 2 years https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH74636.html

     

    Please check the bprd log for evidence.

  • this is part of mi bp.conf file

     

    CONNECT_OPTIONS = localhost 1 0 2
    USE_VXSS = PROHIBITED
    VXSS_SERVICE_TYPE = INTEGRITYANDCONFIDENTIALITY
    EMMSERVER = XXXXXXXXXXX
    HOST_CACHE_TTL = 3600
    VXDBMS_NB_DATA = /nbu75/CLUSTERED_CATALOG/db/data
    KMS_DIR = /nbu75/CLUSTERED_CATALOG/kms
    LIST_FS_IMAGE_HEADERS = YES
    VERSIONINFO = "SunOS" "5.11" "Unknown" "NetBackup" "7.5" 750000
    MPX_RESTORE_DELAY = 500

     

  • Just try to run bpimage -cleanup -allclients and send the output of the image cleanup job which will run after you run this command.
