Net backup additional media server communication issue on master server.

Hello,

I have installed netbackup master and media server on server [host1] which is redhat linux server with text + GUI mode.  Then I have created on more additional media server in same network on another server [host2] which is also redhat server but only text mode is installed on it.

My both the servers [host1] and [host 2] are communicating with each other. Both haveing static ip address.

On [host2] I have install only text mode of redhat...so I am not able to open netbackup console on [host2].

 

I want to connect and manage [host2] Netbackup console from my [host1] Netbackup console with help of option [Host Properties - Media server (Right click) - Change server].  But change server option is not highlited. And in media server list only local media [host1] server is listed. Remote media server is not avaiable there.

What will be the issue.  How can I resolve this and will be able to manage addition media servers from master server.

 

Regards,

Santosh Pawar.

You can manage a media server from the master - no need to change host in the GUI.
Add devices, storage units, policies, everything in master server GUI.

Check bp.conf on master and media server - it needs to look as follows (minimum entries):

Master: 
SERVER = host1
SERVER = host2
EMMSERVER = host1
CLIENT_NAME = host1

Media server:
SERVER = host1
SERVER = host2
EMMSERVER = host1
CLIENT_NAME = host2

Ensure forward and reverse hostname lookup between master and media server.
If not on DNS, add hosts entries for one another.

Check that port 1556 is open in both directions between servers and that iptables is stopped and disabled.

Once you have added SERVER entry for host2 on the master, restart NBU.

Test comms between servers with this command on master server:

nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose
