  • Give device configuration wizard in the GUI a shot. That usally work very well. It will create both storage server, disk pool and storage unit for you.

  • Give device configuration wizard in the GUI a shot. That usally work very well. It will create both storage server, disk pool and storage unit for you.

  • Yes, as per Nicolai, GUI will be easier.

    Btw, the correct sequence is to "create storage server" -> "create disk pool" -> "create disk volume" -> "create storage unit". 

    It seems you missed the "create disk pool" step. You need to have a disk pool (dp) to create disk volume.

  • I am trying to create a disk pool using GUI also but getting error  "can not connect to the socket"

  • also tried to follow steps from the bekow link

  • Is there a firewall between master and media server? Or perhaps OS firewall (iptables) on Linux media server?
  • for the  creation of  disk pool below mentioned  command  is used:

     /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig  -createdp  -dp  test1 -stype AdvancedDisk -storage_servers ri2007 -dvlist /home/00001 -M ri2007
    Failed to create disk pool, cannot connect on socket

  • hello all,

     I want to know  that 7.6.1. has been supoorted  on RHEL 7 

  • I have posted the link to OS compatibility guide in your new post. Have you checked for firewall (incl OS firewall ) as per my previous post?
