NetBackup status code: 10 (Separate media server and client)

I can't seem to run a backup on this W2012 vm (server568.bank.com); continously fails with error 10.

We have 4 other vm's built the same time, with the same OS, configurations, etc. No issues. We are attempting a MS-Windows type backup.

Media and master servers are Netbackup 7.5.0.5 running on RHEL 6.7. Netbackup client is 7.6.0.1

Client has been uninstalled and reinstalled, with reboots in between.

Below are the job details from the latest failure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • So here it. I initially had encryption enabled on the client properties in nbu, the policy and the client itself.

    During my troubleshooting, I uninstalled the agent/client from the client/server and reinstalled it.

    Apparently, this removes the "keyfile.dat" file which is created with the bpkeyutil command. I never recreated it.

    Once I recreated the passphrase, the backup job began to write.

  • Media and master servers are Netbackup 7.5.0.5 running on RHEL 6.7. Netbackup client is 7.6.0.1

    Not supported.

    Client cannot be higher minor release (point version) than master and/or media server.
    (Version support can be found in Release Notes for NBU 7.5 and 7.6.)

    You need to upgrade the NBU servers or download NBU 7.5.0.6 (which was a full release for W2012).

  • Allocation failed is a sign of memory issues. How much free memory does server568.bank.com have ?

    How big is the swap file ? 

    official recommendation for status 10:

  • Understood, but I have several other servers/clients with the same exact configuration which are backing up successfully.

  • server568.bank.com is using 200mb out of the 8gb of RAM. I'm not sure how big the swap file is.

    I've seen the tech article. This server is used as a file server, with not much else running on it. I've also restarted the server several times.

     

  • Be aware that windows seem to use the swap file for some things even if there is memory free, where file caching seems to be one when scanning file systems.

    Is there any errors/warnings in the event logs around the time the backup fails ?

  • Please do not ignore version compatibility.

    I have personally seen 2 identical media servers where one of them failed with status 10. 
    It was something other than version compatibility, but proof that 'others that are working' is a bonus.

    Install supported version on client or else upgrade master and media.

    If the issue persists after compatibility has been addressed, let us dig deeper by going into logs... 
    Status 10 is not always a problem with the client. I have seen this status code when users have manually 'fiddled' with the client's images folder on the master...
