When trying to confugure universal share on BYO Netbackup 8.3 i get this error in the Web GUI:

Failed to get version from the Storage Platform Web Service. For Instant Access Build Your Own, ensure that Nginx is running and configured correctly. For more details, refer to the NetBackup Web UI VMware Administrator's Guide.

Error details

  • errorCode: 4032

Cheking for Nginx status give this result:

systemctl status nginx.service
● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

[root@nbumaster NetBackup_8.3_LinuxR_x86_64]#

Checking the /etc/nginx/keys for spws.cert file and there is no files in the /etc/nginx/keys folder!

The /ect/nginx/conf.d/ has a byo.conf file so something is getting correct during storage setup and config via the Web GUI.

For some reason the spws.cert and spws.key files are not created?

Any ideeas why?

Problem solved, due to my inexperience with Red Hat and Linux I had not given the server a domain name just a host name.
I named the server nbumaster and when I change it to nbumaster.demo everyting works as it shuld..
Must be a problem with certificate generation when you do not have a domain set...

This option is still very new, so I doubt that there will be a lot of experience of BYO Universal Share in this community.

Maybe best to log a Support call with Veritas?
