collection of disaster recovery information failed - socket read failed

Netbackup 6.0 mp4 Windows 2003 Server sp1

Hello again. A tech accidently uninstalled Netbackup 6.0 mp3 off our Master Server. I recovered the install with a copy of the catalogs.

Now I'm getting the collection of disaster recovery information failed - socket read failed error just on the master server itself. I applied mp4 and continue to get the error.

I found a really old post for a similar error and deleted and recreated the IDR/data directory, but the data dir was empty, so I don't think that will fix it.

Any ideas O great keepers of netbackup knowledge?

Thanks James. It sounds like the right answer, but we don't have a drfile.exe on our server anywhere. Any more ideas? When we ran the reinstall, were we supposed to do something special to get DR on the server?

On further investigation, it looks like IDR can not happen on a master server unless it is backed up by another master server because IDR requires the netbackup master server to do the IDR. It can't save itself.

Is this correct?

Hey guys am I right? All you have to do is answer yes and you get the points.

Thanks for the updates Pam (in this thread and your other one).

I can't say for sure if you're right, but what you posted makes sense to me and I would probably believe it. It would be great to see a tech note on that, of course.

Yes. (based on the IDR concept from NB 3.4)
