Client list is blank in NBU Admin Console

Have you created backup policies yet? Client list in Host Properties is pulled from Policy database.

cctns:

 

You do not state in your post if the clients were visible before you made the changes to the host files for the clients and Master.

If these are new clients then add the clients to a backup policy as indicated above.

If these are existing clients who were previously available through host properties then check the changes you made to the etc/hosts files on the client and the master. It is important to remember that Netbackup uses hostnames to authenticate between Master/media and Clients. Each Entry should adhere to the following format:

ip address <tab> short name <tab> FQDN

From Admin Console>Host Properties>Client

  Select client name in right pane. If the Master fails to connect the check hostname resolution

To verify hostname resolution run the following commands:

Windows:

Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin

Unix

usr/openv/netbackup/bin

  bpclntcmd -hn <server name>

  bpclntcmd -pn < reverse lookup from client to master>

 bpclntcmd -ip <server ip address>

 

The following documentation will assist you in troubleshooting client connectivity issues:

Your latest post is a new issue that I have moved to a new discussion:

I believe your initial query about client list has been answered.

Client list in Host Properties gets its information from Policies. 

Please mark solution for the most helpful post and move on to new discussion.
