Hi All, I need your help for below issue which we are facing on windows system. We have created the user backup policies and scripts. After executing the scripts , policy not executed in activity monitor but on the server scripts are in running state without an error. This server has nated IP and also we have done the necessary changes and communication also done between master and server. Master :- Solaris 10 Client :- windows 2003 X86 NBU Version :- 7.5.0.4 Regards, Sagar

hi Sagar, that is a good sign, try this command from client , i have added -i switch...and removed -w , it says about the window time.. not path.. bpbackup -i -p <policy name > -s schedule name -S master name d:\backupdb if you want to use more then one file or directy.. then keep all those in a file and provide those to the command with -f switch bpbackup -i -p <policy name > -s schedule name -S master name -f <filelistfile> if those commands work, you can keep the same in the script and make sure of those.. check this below tech note for more help about bpbackup http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO43639 PS:-to run the above commands your schedule type does not needs to be User backup, it can be automatic backup also.. hope this helps..

hi sagar,

posibally the commands that are running in client side are not reaching to the master server.

1) could you post the commands that you are running on the user side.

2) the bppllist <policyname> -U from mater server

3)bpcltncmd -pn in client

4)does the master server listed in first at servers list in Registory?

hi Sagar,

i was mean the command that you used in the script that you created to run the backup

are you running the script from the Client side?

3)bpcltncmd -pn in client

No output , after sometime directly prompt is coming. ----> this indicating that the client is not getting responce from the master server.

if you are running the script from the client side.. this is the place you need to start working..

you need to check the Server key , client Name key and the name /IP resolutions from Client side.. and need to make sure that you are getting responce from master when you run the command bpcltncmd -pn in client side.

one more thing.. just an idea...

I am seeing you have specified the backup selection for both the policies...

if that is correct... and if you does not need to chage that ..

you can make the Schedule type as Automatic and have the script run in the master server at your desired time..

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup -i -p <policyname> -s <schedulename>

Hi Nagalla,

We are using below command

<install path> netbackup/bin/

bpbackup -p <policy name > -s schedule name -S master name -w path

We are getting connctivity to the srvers as backup coming in wiritng mode , when we fired manually...

Yes we are running the script form client side.

Kindly help to resolve the bplcntmcd issue , as this servers has nated i/ps.

hi Sagar,

bplcntmcd is the verification that to make sure that client is communicating with master properly..

please provide me the below outputs.

from client:-

bpclntcmd -self

bpclntcmd -hn <mastername>

bpclntcmd -ip <masterip>

route print

ifconfig -a

nslookup <masterservername>

nslookup <masterserver IP>

entires of client registory keys...

1)servers key

2) client name key

from master server:-

bpclntcmd -self

bpclntcmd -pn

bpclntcmd -hn <mastername>

bpclntcmd -ip <masterip>

bpclntcmd -hn <Client name>

bpclntcmd -ip <Client IP>

you can just attache a notepad with all this outputs..

hi Sagar,

that is a good sign,

try this command from client , i have added -i switch...and removed -w , it says about the window time.. not path..

bpbackup -i -p <policy name > -s schedule name -S master name d:\backupdb

if you want to use more then one file or directy.. then keep all those in a file and provide those to the command with -f switch

bpbackup -i -p <policy name > -s schedule name -S master name -f <filelistfile>

if those commands work, you can keep the same in the script and make sure of those..

check this below tech note for more help about bpbackup

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO43639

PS:-to run the above commands your schedule type does not needs to be User backup, it can be automatic backup also..

hope this helps..
