MSDP POOL IS DOWN

SUMMARY

We reinstall the Netbackup after a disaster. recover the catalog. However the MSDP pool is showing down.

C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -dp MSDP-POOL -U
Disk Pool Name : MSDP-POOL

Replication Target : tps-bkp.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume
Replication Target : netbackup-me.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume
Replication Target : netbackup-dr.contoso.com:PureDiskVolume

 

We then run the below command, which UP the STATUS for few seconds and went again down.

C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdevconfig -changestate -stype PureDisk -dp MSDP-POOL -dv PureDiskVolume -state RESET
successfully changed the state of disk volume

I notice that the path is not there for MSDP pool. Below snap for reference.

 

 

  • for a quick resolution. I had to reinstall the client and supply the newly created token from netbackup.. issue resolved

      There is no way that client re-install will solve the MSDP Pool Down issue... especially when you say :
      I notice that the path is not there for MSDP pool

      Maybe this was the solution to your other issue?
