I do have a case open with support.
Anyhow when trying to create MSDP again (Original MSDP was blown away by our Unix Admins when resizing the disk, there were no images yet)
I get the error:
Adding credentials for server xxxx failed (Server is Shutdown)
I have reinstalled NBU 7.5 and patched to 7.5.0.5 and all services are up, the Mount is present and the root pasword is the same that was used in the previous MSDP configuration and also the same password that is being used on another MSDP.
OS
2.6.18-348.3.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 5 13:19:32 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Solved! Go to Solution.

Look in:
/usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins
Delete the .CFG for the server in which you want to create the MSDP. In my case there was a config file left behind for "prod-nbu-pdm01.uson.usoncology.int.cfg" and I believe I saw some notes somewhere to look for this file but it just slipped my mind.
My issue has been resolved.

Have you tried to delete deduplication storage server before you start reconfiguring MSDP? If not, try to delete storage server and its configuration before reconfiguring MSDP by following the steps described in NetBackup 7.5 Deduplication Guide page 158 & 159.

Hi,
Yes I have decomissioned the Media Server and I removed the dsp with the nbcmd commands, I have ensured that the storage media server was gone, the only thing I have not done after a decom was to uninstall the media server, I guess I can give that a shot?

I would also run the MSDP cleanup script:
/usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/scripts/installers/PDDE_deleteConfig.sh
That should remove any lingering configuration that could prevent you from configuring a second time.
Since this is going to be a fresh configuration, you should make sure that the storage and database paths (/msdp and /var/msdp_db) don't have any files that were created from the previous configuration.

Hi Pete,
I ran the script as you pointed out.
Neither SppolD or Spad are running
[root@prod-nbu-pdm01 installers]# ./PDDE_deleteConfig.sh
[root@prod-nbu-pdm01 msdp]#

Can you post the error record and the MSDP create logs.

Have you seen this TN?

Extract:
This error is caused by invalid characters used in the password for the MSDP username. While the password may work successfully with Windows media servers, it will fail when attempting to add credentials to Linux media servers (other platforms may be affected as well.)
The characters allowed in the MSDP user's password are documented in TECH178038.

Hey guys, we happned to have the exact same situation. The only thing we have not tried is rebooting the master server..will try that soon but tough to find a window.
Wan2Live didyou happen to find a solution?

That sounds somewhat familiar to me as well...but didn't see it in the nbdecommision notes.
Will try it out..thanks!
