MSDP Down

iVaibhav
Level 4

Hello Community, 

We had a OS Upgrade on a Master Server on Win2008 to change it to 2019. It also had an MSDP Pool on F Drive. 

After Clean 2019 install  and Netbackup Master Server 8.2 Setup and Catalog Recovery. We followed Process to reconnect MSDP Pool to Netbackup .

https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/25074086-130388296-0/v33188054-130388296

However, we see below in SPAD logs. What Certificate we should look at ?

We updated policies for backups to not to go to disk and changed to go to tape . They are backing up and connecting fine, so master server certificate seems ok,  Not sure what certificate its talking about, 

Appreciate any help.

Ok, This was solved by Veritas. 

A rerun of Command 

nbcertcmd.exe -getcertificate -force -token
 
allowed spad to come online. 
 
Not sure though why other clients were connecting fine and the spad was not. 
 
Thanks @Marianne and @davidmoline for taking a look at my post.

Hi @iVaibhav 

The one thing that stands out to me is the failure to connect on port 1556 to obtain the certificate. The certificate in this case would be the host/CA certificate on the master server.

Does everything else on the master server work and come up? Are you able to communicate with clients or other media servers (have you tried the bptestbpcd command to check connectivity?).

Have you verified that the local Windows firewall is not blocking this port? If the firewall is not enabled, can you please check that the PBX service is running (Veritas Provate Branch Exchange).

Finally - run some certificate checking commands to verify all appears to be okay.
# nbcertcmd -ping
# nbcertcmd -hostselfcheck

Let us know how you go.

@iVaibhav 

I am curious to know if master server was installed in 'Disaster Recovery' mode and if security certificates were restored at the end of the installation?

Yes, it was in DR Mode. 

All clients are connecting and backing up to tape fine. 

Just to be sure this was not an issue , we did a run of below command again to fix if anything did not go right at that time. 

nbhostidentity -import

Its only the pool which is the local drive fails to connect. I am not sure whats up with it.
