Cannot make Virtual Netbackup Appliance 3.2 Master Server
Hello,
I have installed Virtual Netbackup Appliance 3.2 in the Vmware Workstation in the ESXi host.
Now, I am trying to promote the newly installed Appliance server to be Master server. However, there is an issue.
Firstly, I tried to promote the Appliance with the following error output:
nb-appliance.Appliance> master
- [Error] The hostname of the appliance is not set. Configure IP address, DNS, hostname and try again.
Restarting command interface...
Therefore, I tried to set hostname:
nb-appliance.Network> Hostname Set nb-appliance.com
- [Info] The host name that you specify here can be a short name or a fully qualified domain name. Note that the short name always appears in the following places:
-- NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu prompts
-- Deduplication pool catalog backup policy
-- Default storage unit and disk pool names
After you finish configuring the appliance, you cannot change the host name until you perform a factory reset on the appliance.
Do you want to continue? [yes, no](no) yes
- [Info] Setting the hostname to "nb-appliance.com".
- [Info] It may take several minutes to validate the hostname, apply the hostname to NetBackup and restart the NetBackup processes.
- [Error] V-409-930-003: Cannot set the hostname "nb-appliance.com". An internal error occurred in Appliance. Check the logs to see the detailed reason.
Do you have any idea which log to check and where?
Additionaly is there any way, how to reinstall already deployed Virtual Netbackup Appliance from CMD line?
And is it possible to do factory reset?
Many thanks for any ideas!
Hi,
The FQDN/hostname to be assigned to the appliance must be resolvable through DNS or hosts file. This is why you're not able to set the hostname.
You don't have to perform factory reset at this point. Follow the instructions below:Network> Hosts Add IP FQDN hostname
Network> Hosts Add 10.4.3.110 nbapp-pri.home.lab nbapp-priNetwork> Hostname Set nbapp-pri.home.lab

- Hi
Why you would like to name it as it already is? Can you try with other name? Looks like its your test, so call it masternbu for example.
Lets know the outcome.
