I have a 2012 Server with Netbackup 8 and a 2003 Server client with netbackup 7.6.1. When I try to create a policy and add the content to make the backup, the message always appears: "Unable to connect to Netbackup host"
I have tried almost everything.Add the corresponding entries in the different hosts files.Do a port scan.Test with different users.
...and nothing works.
Can someone help me?
you need a create a token file and copy the Token file to the agent while installation and paste the key.
NBU master does not not normally try to connect to the client during policy creation.
Can you show us screenshots of the steps that you are following to create the policy?
Please also perform the following tests:
From cmd on master and client:
bpclntcmd -hn <remote-hostname>
bpclntcmd -ip <remote-IP>
On client:
bpclntcmd -pn
Create bpcd log folder on the client, ensure NetBackup Client Service is running, then run this command on the master:
bptestbpcd -client <client-name> -debug -verbose
Show us output of commands as well as contents of bpcd log on the client.
If you browse to select backup items for the policy, NetBackup does connect to the client. There can be reasons on both sides of the connection attempt for failure. Try the test commands that Marianne gave you first. If you don't find the issue there, look at the bpcd log on the client to see how it may have responded to any commands from the server. On the server side, I think you will find evidence of the Java Console's attempts to browse the client in the nbsl log.
First of all thank you for your interest.
