unable to add RHV manager to NB master

Hi all

We are unable to add the RHV manager in the netbackup webui

error message saying invalid authentication informations

we entered this fileds as below

- FDDN of the RHV manager

- username of the RHV manager : "root"

- password of the rhv manager user root : "PasswOrd"

- selecting the backup host : the master/media server which is the appliance 5250 in our case.

Your help please :)

  • The problem was related to rhv hosts hostnames which should be added also in netbackup master hosts file and vice versa

    the hostname of the rhv manager only is insufficient.

    vxms logs in the backup host which is the master in my case was so helpful to identify the problem.

    thank you NurgulG for your help and answers :)

      Thank you NurgulG for your answer

      PS : we set VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED  to NO

      it was resolved by entering "admin@internal" in the username field in place of root  (even admin without @internal wouldnt work)

      we can now successfully add the RHVM in NetBackup  webui and get all its VMs.

      but the backup of VM fails after creating the protection plan to backup VMs

      here below job details

  • Hi,

    You need high verbose bpbkar and VxMS logs on the backup host and also hostname resolution for netbackup appliance to RHV Managers, maybe you can add the hostname in the appliance host files. RHV managers also should be able to resolve appliance hostname. Can you also check following ports please?

     

    Best Regards

      Thank you NurgulG  for your answer.

      All ports are open and tested in bi directional

      Hostnames are enetered in /etc/hosts of both Master/Media NetBackup and RHVM

      RHVM was successfully added in netbackup webui by its FQDN.

        The problem was related to rhv hosts hostnames which should be added also in netbackup master hosts file and vice versa

        the hostname of the rhv manager only is insufficient.

        vxms logs in the backup host which is the master in my case was so helpful to identify the problem.

  • Hi,

    I'm glad the problem is solved, have a nice day :)
