Missing BP.conf ?

Hello,

We receive an error 39 when trying to expand "Media" on in the NetBackup Admin Console on our master server. I believe this issue has come due to some a media server being introduced.

I ran accross this article: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/271439.htm

The issue is, I can not locate my bp.conf file. I have check in the <Install>/Veritas/Netbackup directory, and have done an entire search for it without any results. I know it must be here somewhere as netbackup would not run without it ... right?

    It sounds like you're running Windows - we use registry keys there and not a bp.conf file.

    Most of the bp.conf stuff (including what you're looking for, USE_VXSS) can be found in
    HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config

    Good luck!

    Oh,

    I forgot to mention. This only happens when using Netbackup Admin Console while remoting in to the server. If I use the Java client remotely, it works fine.

    The error I get when trying to expand "Media" is Network Protocol Error (39).

    Any ideas?

    you will only find the bp.conf on unix server - so is your master unix or windows.


    second you say you only get this error "while remoting in to the server."

    does that mean you do a remote desktop then start the console on the server
    or that you start the "remote admin console" from your pc?

    (if starting the remote admin console from your pc - add your pc name to the "other servers" list in the host properties of the master)

    make sure the master server is listed first and then the media servers can be in any order after the master server. You should bpdown/bpup after making registry changes.
