Someone has an idea ?

Thank you very much.

Check this file :

/etc/vx/vrtslog.conf

Should look like this :

###############################################
# Caution! Do not update/modify file by hand.
# Use vxlogcfg tool to update/modify this file
###############################################
51216.Configuration=/usr/openv/netbackup/nblog.conf
51216.Names=NB,nb
50936.Configuration=/etc/vx/VxICS/icsul.conf

@mph999

Thank for your reply.
 

/etc/vx/vrtslog.conf

==> this is a Linux's environment, isn't it ?

Can you tell me the equivalent in Windows ?

Thank you very much !

nblog.conf may be corrupt. 
The location is <install-path>\Veritas\NetBackup.

See if file is readable (but don't edit it manually).

Any chance that you can copy the file from another server?
You may want to install NBU 7.0 Admin Console on your Windows desktop/laptop and then patch to 7.0.1.
This will give you a good, default nblog.conf that you can copy to NBU master/media server while NBU is down.

vrtslog.conf is registry entry on Windows.

See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH210786

Hi,

As Marianne said, get the nblog.conf from another media which is working perfect,

put on the defected master server, reboot services. everything is OK.

Thank you very much to everybody !
