NetBackup / Devices

All,

Getting this error when selecting Devices/Drives in Netbackup Console Administrator:
Could not connect to vmd on host XYZ (70).
Used vmglob -get_ghdhost  to get the host name/
Hostname returned : nbutest.impactsci.com
Then used vmglob -set_gdbhost to reset the host name just incase the name was incorrect.
Still getting the same error.
I then tried launching the 'Configure Storage Devices' wizard and get Server connection failed. Verify services or daemons are up and running.
Any input would be most helpful.

    Loging to the media server and see if VMD is running.  Use bpps -x

    Check all the MM services are running

    Sriram,
    When running bppx -x receive the following:

    NB Process
    tail: cannot open '+2' for reading: No such file or directory
    MM Processes
    tail: cannot open '+2' for reading: No such file or directory
    Shared VERITAS Processes
    tail: cannot open '+2' for reading: No such file or directory

    Note : This Netbackup test setup is in PC -standalone  mode and not attached to the network yet -- meaning no tape devices attached.  There is a second drive in the pc configured as a slave and is mounted as /dev/hdb1 to test some backups and restores.

    The jndSA console shows these daemon's running
    nbjm - Running
    nbsl - Running
    bpdbm - Running
    vmd - Running
    nbrb - Stopped
    nbpem - Running
    NB_dbsrv - Running
    nbnos - Running
    ltid - Running
    nbemm Stopped
    pbrd - Running
    Could the stopped daemon's be causing the issues?
