Getting the following message on a newly built server; os backup completes successfully
Error initializing NetBackup Catalog. This could be caused by a missing or expired NetBackup license key
Apologies, I was not alerted to everyones response. It seems the issue for me was the way SQL was installed on our server build image
Can you do a file restore initiated from the client ?
Are there any dedicated firewalls in the path ? If that is the case, you often need any port -> pbx (1556) rules in both directions in my experience.
Is the client set allowed to browse in the client attributes in the master server properties ? (It will need to have both browse and restore permissions to be able to restore SQL)
If you entered correct license keys then it might be DNS issue https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000083572 as Marianne already said.
1) verifiy name resolution between Master & client.
ALso confirm SQL backups for these databases are working fine?
Is it restore on same client or alternate client ?
Check Dbclient, bpcd logs on client and bprd logs on matser server.
Also check if client has permission to browse and restore data.
Use following command to verify it :
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admicmd/bpclient -client client_name -L
inoutput following two must be allowed.
Free Browse: Allow
List Restore: Allow Both
if it is not there then, try /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admicmd/bpclient -client client_name -list_restore 1
Then try restor
