I have NetBackup 7.1 on Windows 2008 and having an issue with my SAN media servers (SSO) i.e. facing “EMM interface initialisation failed, status = 334” error.
Scenario is as follows;
Am I missing something above?
The EMM database seems OK on the master and the entries are correct for the media servers. The nbemmcmd -listhost command on Master show the complete list of Media servers.
But on the media server(s) it is not communicating:
c:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbemmcmd -listsettings -machinename cms01-man
NBEMMCMD, Version:7.0.1
Failed to initialize EMM connection. Verify that network access to the EMM server is available and that the services nbemm and pbx_exchange are running on the EMM server. (195)
Command did not complete successfully.

You can't use a alias in Netbackup. nbu01-man need to be a A record. The media sever must be able to resolve nbu01-man both forward and reverse (master server likewise).
Please also post the full sub networks / Netmask of x.x.x.26 and x.x.x.136.

REQUIRED_NETWORK
The REQUIRED_NETWORK entry specifies the required route for backup traffic in an
environment where the network traffic is segregated.
For example, an environment can contain a production network at 145.21.14.0
and a backup network at 192.132.28.0.
To indicate that NetBackup use only the backup network, use bpsetconfig to add
the following entry to the registry:
REQUIRED_NETWORK = 192.132.28.0
Note: If the variable is set and the network is not available, all connections fail
and no backups are performed.

Hopefully x.x.x.136 and x.x.x.26 are on different subnets? Please confirm.
