Symantec Netbackup Daemons

[girish_nair1984]

Dear All

I just recently observed in Symantec Netbackup Activity Monitor (Daemons) that spad,spoold,nbkms Daemons are stopped. I tried to start the daemons, but it's getting failed.

Kindly provide me a solution.

Thank You

spoold is  NetBackup Deduplication Engine

spad is NetBackup Deduplication Manager

nbkms is "NetBackup Key Management

unless you use them they wont start

NBKMS = KMS manage the encryption keys used for the T10 tape drive encryption standard.
