Well, I got the Samba / CIFS share to merge into the disk pool. However, when I am running a scheduled backup, the backup will run for a few minutes then a new message will appear on the Linux server side and then the NetBackup backup process fails.
[2014/06/11 15:00:49, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1085)
jxnetbackp001 (10.10.40.166) connect to service netbackup initially as user nobody (uid=99, gid=99) (pid 13524)
[2014/06/11 15:05:01, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1282)
jxnetbackp001 (10.10.40.166) closed connection to service netbackup
Note that the Samba share is allowing for guests and null passwords, so that not only can NetBackup access the directory but anyone else in the network. The Linux server nor the Samba is configured for domain access.
Samba configuration:
[global]
workgroup = BACKUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = jxnasp001
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
security = user
;encrypt passwd = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
map to guest = bad user
obey pam restrictions = No
;client ntlmv2 auth = yes
;disable netbios = no
;server signing = AUTO
;client use spnego = yes
;ntlm auth = no
;lanman auth = no
local master = no
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
show add printer wizard = no
disable spoolss = yes
[netbackup]
comment = NetBackup Storage
path = /export/netbackup
null passwords = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
Any ideas on where the problem is?
