Hi All,

we have 7.1 master server(Solaris 10), No media server. I was in middle of upgrade, everything went well until i observed a message

EMM interface initialization failed, status = 77

After install script completed i am not able to run any commands related to emm

how ever nbdb_ping works fine

Database [NBDB] is alive and well on server [NB_inblruxbkup01].

If this is a test then remember there are real issue when you upgrade to 7.5

You need to run the upgrade then take NBU down straight away and patch to 7.5.0.5

Once this is done the catalog migration to EMM wil start and only once that has completed will NBU start to fully function

Hope this helps

pbx service may not be running so start it up:

 

# /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged start

Ensure all of the interfaces on th Master have valid information for resolution.

 

If you have more than 110 VLANs defined and configured there is aknown issue for that.

Hi Amit,

stop the NBU services on master server  and apply the Maintenance Release 4 and check the  

Device mapping file also.

I would stop NBU, make sure all processes are stopped, make sur PBX is started, restart NBU and see in what situtaion you find yourself. Seems only 1 policy was converted, how many polciies do you have on this system ?

I would also in paralell open a ticket with Symantec Support.

This is our fresh test setup which was initially running with 7.1 and i wanted to get some idea about 7.5 upgrade, i read some where that now imagedb is part of NBDB which was not the case with 7.1, how ever i see lot of errors like

inblruxbkup01# bperror -hoursago 4 -U

and

06/19/2013 15:49:29 inblruxbkup01.lehman.com -  connection to
                    nbevtmgr::VRTS_NBU_PEM_Channel on host
                    inblruxbkup01.lehman.com failed after 7 attempts

that is the reason i guess for emm not responding , i also noticed  vxdbms.conf is still with older date (before upgrade) looks like nbu has not been upgraded properly.

 

Yes there is only 1 policy(catalog backup)

@Amit,

Could you please clarify exactly your upgrade scenario ? i am a little bit confused

What is your current major version ? 7.1 ? 7.5 ?

what is you actual patch version ? 7.1.0.3 ? 7.5.0.4? 7.5.0.5?

Please run the following command:

bpclntcmd -get_local_server_patch_version

Amit_Karia
Level 6

inblruxbkup01# bpclntcmd -get_local_server_patch_version
7.5.0.0
 

it is 7.5 but i think not fully upgraded or with some issues

 

nathanmike

@Amit,

ok. You are using the version 7.5 which mean at this time your system is not patched at all.

As you mentionned in the beginning, you are using a Solaris 10 master server right?

Is it a cluster node or standalone ?

If it's a Cluster node , there are some particular steps that you need to follow. You can consult you netbackup installation guide for UNIX and go to the cluster section. You will find more details about it.

if it's a standalone, then extract the archive and apply the patch

I assume that your images have been migrated successfully and your catalog database is ok (you can run nbcc tools for checking the integrity of your database.

If you have upload the binaries to your master server, you can find all relevant .pdf documentation under the following directory:

<path-to-you-upload-folder>/NetBackup_7.5_LinuxR_x86_64/Doc

Before patching:

1. reboot completly

2. make sure all process are up with bpps -x

3. Try connect to admin console

4. run NBCC tools to check the integrity of your catalog

5. check EMM integrity with the following command:

nbemmcmd -getemmserver

nbemmcmd -listmedia -allrecords -brief

nbemmcmd -listhosts

If all of the above sounds good, try to patch and tack the logs ;)

No to belabor a point, but for this specific error condition, I think this forum is not the appropriate place to do triage and look for resolution of your problem.  The NetBackup support team should be handling this directly.  You would be better served if you open a support case for this and will get much better assistance to resolve this matter. I am a Back Line support engineer and I am currently working a customer situation almost exaclty as yours.  It is not a trivial matter.

I agree Jaime, since this is not a prod environment i was not keen to open up a case but looks like i will have to do that

 

@nathan , this is a standalone server, problem i see here is , although emm services are running none of emm commands, (nbemmcmd -listhosts, nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid) are respoding , I even tried to check consistency with bpdbm, but it failed.. Looks like i will have to contact support

@Amit,

Just for information:

If i understand correctly, you are migrating from 7.1 to 7.5?

What was the previous patch level before migrating to 7.5 (eg. 7.1.0.3) ?

Did you follow all the steps and pre-req before migrating from 7.1 to 7.5 (deactivate policies, media, SLP, STU, no jobs running ...)?

Sometimes, if you miss one of those pre-req, it can lead to such situation. What Jaime recommend you is correct, this can be perfectly handle by Symantec support.

Good luck ;)
