new esxiis not viewable when browsing from Netbackup console

recently , i faced problem to get the new esx server backup via the flashbackup -windows policy .

Because im unable to browse the new esx host from the client selection list.

I have checked that the C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\online_util\fi_cntl vc.host.xml didnt show the new esx host name.

But from the GUI , im unable to view it .

 

I have also cleared the all files on the fi_cntl and restart the netbackup service on the vmware backup host.

But still the same .

Is there any method to force a update .

bpclntcmd -clearhostcache?

  • Add a VM, be it power on or not, to this ESX host. Remove all the xml files and browse again. The ESX will appear.

    Not sure this is a bug or intentionally masking from Netbackup 7.1. As per our observation, it will only show ESX with vm... Thx

  • When add the VMware ESXi host in to NetBackup(Media & Device Management > Credentials > Virtual Machine Servers) make sure the hostname correct. Its case sensitive
