client/server handshaking failed(26) - EXIT Status 26:

[samurdhi]

Hi All,

I'm trying to pull the netbackup from netbackup server using ReaR(Relax and Recovery Image file). But I'm getting following error. ReaR using bprestore command to pull the backup to client server.

Failure in getting Restore Job Id

EXIT STATUS 26: client/server handshaking failed

ERROR: bprestore failed (return code = 0)

Does anyone know what is this issue ?

Do you have more details on exactly why did the bprecover process failed, apart from that image?

Can you backup or restore anything at all from that state? Has that Linux server been properly introduced to the NetBackup Servers?

Hi Alexis,

change /etc/hosts /tmp/hosts

Hello,

Is there a special reason for using IP address instead of a client hostname? Avoid using IP address directly wherever possible.

Several tips to test:

- use bptestbpcd, bpclntcmd to verify connectivity between Master/medua/client

- use the same command on a different client if it works

- issue the restore command from the Master

Regards
