Unable to register the BMR server

[Mehraban1]

OK, I started configuring the BMR but unable to register the server. 

Two problems I am facing right now:

1)  Shown in the screenshot ( pls see the attached screenshot)

2)  The "NetBackup Bare Metal Restore Boot Server Service" stops automatically after a few seconds

Basically I am unable to start the BMR services as they keeps stopping again.

What can be wrong?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi,

Be sure that you NetBackup client (on your future Boot Server) si configured with machines of your NetBackup domain before register Boot Server

You need to verify that the 'bmrd' process is running on the Master Server of the client that is performing the setup process. That would be the host name of the Master Server, as seen by the client itself. That is noted on the client by the command:

bpclntcmd -pn

You can see if this is the case on the Master, by running on the Master:

bmrs -o query -res database -table CurrentVersion

This should respond back with the SCHEMA level of the BMRDB. If the command fails the bmrd process is not running or the BMRDB is damaged. Also, the NBU patch level of the client (Boot Server) cannot be higher than that of the Master Server.

If the bmrd process is not running you can look at the debug information using:

vxlogview -i 119

It should give an indication why the process failed.
