I've just done an install of NBU 6.5.4 as per the NetBackup High Availability Administrator's Guide on RHEL 5 and I've run into an issue regarding the NetBackup VCS Agent on the second node.
I forgot that RHEL has iptables on by default and this caused some issues when I ran the cluster_config script. I disabled iptables and my NetBackup service group is up on the node I ran the cluster_config script on, but it can't be switched as the NetBackup VCS Agent is not installed or running.
# haagent -display NetBackup
#Agent Attribute Value
NetBackup AgentDirectory
NetBackup AgentFile
NetBackup Faults 0
NetBackup Running No
NetBackup Started No
# haagent -start NetBackup -sys sysname
VCS NOTICE V-16-1-10001 Please look for messages in the log file
*Logfile Output*
2009/10/27 10:45:09 VCS ERROR V-16-1-10042 Could not locate agent binary file for type NetBackup
I know the NetBackupAgent file should reside in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/vcs directory, it was already there on the first node so I copied it into the directory on the second node and ensured permissions are the same. All the other files in this directory also appear to be the same.
I've also checked and all entries for NetBackup in the VCS main.cf are the same on both nodes.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
Thanks in advance for all/any help.
Cheers,
Chris
