Cannot login to admin console using jnbSA

Hi,

Needed help with connection to the admin console.

Netbackup version 8.0

Master server: RHEL 6.2

I am attempting to open the admin console by directly connecting a display to the master server.

On attempting to open Netbackup admin console using /usr/open/java/jnbSA, I was getting the below error.

"NetBackup could not initiate a trust relationship with host hostname. Ensure that your Domain Name Service (DNS) resolves the hostname to the correct IP address and check network connectivity".

 

Found this article which stated it is due to nbatd service not running.

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100014059

 

On checking the running services using ./bpps -x, I found that nbatd service is not found to be running. (Attachment- bpps output_1)

Tried restarting the services as mentioned in the article, 'If nbatd is not mentioned as running on the system, restarting NetBackup would solve the problem', it was not of any help as nbatd did not come up.

Tried a /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbatd as well, but no use.

Also, in the attachment (bpps output_1), we can see the nbwmc service running. However, on running bpps within the next 5 seconds, that service seems to be missing.

Then, tried the steps as mentioned in the marked solution in the discussion

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/Netbackup-could-not-initiate-a-trust-relationship-with-host/td-...

Deleted the folder with the master server name, restarted services, and tried /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA.

New error pops up

"The host does not have Netbackup Hostname based security certificate installed. The certificate is mandatory to establish a secure connection"

Reverted the changes from the backup copy of the files.

 

Tried the steps as mentioned in the marked solution of the discussion,

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup/nbatd-is-failing-to-start/m-p/689744

 

Error:

[root@prdspnbapp01 bin]# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpnbaz -ConfigureAuth

You will have to restart NetBackup services on this machine after the command completes successfully.

Do you want to continue(y/n)y

Gathering configuration information.

ERROR: Failed to start security services - /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbatd -f

Unable to fork child process.

On searching some more, I stumbled upon this. (Attachment- nbcertcmd)

I found out that a certificate has expired on March 27, 2019. I tried steps to renew it, but to no avail.

I changed the system date to February, and the console started up, however with an error message stating that the Netbackup Web Management service is not running.

 

Could I have some help with getting nbatd and nbwmc up and running, and the admin console running without having to change the system date to some old date?

Regards,

Ajo

My knowledge about NBU 8.x security is unfortunately non-existent...
I was hoping that @Amol_Nair could assist here.

Please read through this discussion that seems to be more relevant than the NBU 7.6 discussion:

Try to start nbatd manually:

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openv/netbackup/sec/at/lib/
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/private/nbatd -c /usr/openv/var/global/vxss/eab/data

and after that try to start WMC:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc

 

Tried both:

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openv/netbackup/sec/at/lib/
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/private/nbatd -c /usr/openv/var/global/vxss/eab/data

 Output after that:

You really shouldn't be running bpnbaz configureAuth and other commands without really understanding what things it affects. With the new certificates in place, just running any such random command would eventually end up breaking everything.

In your case the 1st thing that we need to concentrate on is getting nbatd running on the master server, without nbatd running the bpnbaz command failing is pretty understandable.

Could you check if there are any files with .0 in the below path. You could directly run the below command to validate this information.

ls -la /usr/openv/var/global/vxss/eab/data/root/.VRTSat/profile/certstore/*.0

If you see a couple of such files kindly move them to say /tmp. *** Only the .0 files. Please do not move or touch anything else.

Once you move it try to restart NetBackup services including pbx and check whether nbatd starts. If it still fails to start then I would say reviewing nbatd logs would give us the correct path to proceed ahead.

Hi

Already got the same issue. cA certificate is expired and cannot be renew... you need to raise a support case. TSE will provide you the correct procedure to reinstall nbwebsvc service.

Otherwise if you send me a Personnal message I can provide you my own. I strongly recommend to be assisted by TSE for such operation.

CA certificate would not really expire.. Its issued until 2038. In your case I believe it would either have been the tomcat certificate or the host id certficate that may have expired.. And I guess when you raised a support case the complete reconfiguration of nbwmc was done..

Out here since nbatd itself is not running trying to reconfigure nbwmc would not really help. But yes logging a support call is definitely recommended in such scenarios rather than running random command which may eventually complicate things further and we may need to go with a complete catalog recovery with fresh installation to get things back in place.
