netbackup volume manager error 163

Soory - the error is on Master server.

Try the following:

From cmd (in netbackup\bin\admincmd folder), first stop NBU:

bpdown -f -v

Wait to finish.
Confirm all services are down with '..\bpps'.

Open Services, and stop Symantec Private Branch Exchange.
Start service again.

Go back to cmd and start NBU:

bpup -f -v

Check for error messages.
Check running services/processes with ..\bpps

Let us know which services are not starting and what error message(s) is seen.

IS this the Admin console on the Master or a remote / media server admin console that will not connect?

As it is 2008 ensure UAC is turned off (or open with right click - run as administrator) and make sure the firewall is off

If a remote admin console make sure the admin console server it listed in the additional servers list on the master

Hope this helps

i did as you suggest.

No errors but just saying serveces not started.....

Please see attached as to that I did and also last screen of the error.

Appologize for screen dump - but via RDC not working well.

Just to add - this is done locally on the master server. Open console there.

Did try right click - as admin - same result.

Try to use NBU console on Media server and got message about server list. See attached screen shot.

I remeber this coming up on Master server and used 'repair'.

After this the messages mentioned before started coming up.

It must be something to do with serverlist??

What do you think?

Sorry here is the attachment.

There is no messages other than STARTED or NOT Started  as output when doing bpup.

Output from bpps:

Bpps output

Vnetd

Bpinetd

Bpcd

Dbsrvl1

Nbemm

Nbrb

Bpcompatd

Bnsl

Nbsvcmon

bpps

Does this help?
