A few reasons for this one - at which point does it fail and is it from the wizard or the command line?

Tell us as much as you  can please .. server O/S, NetBackup version etc.

Have you tried before and had a failure?

Is everything fully qualified it terms of names as i see in your screen shot?

Is this run from the Master, if so which O/S, is UAC enabled, etc etc.

Thanks

I already mentioned in my first post that NBU Server is 7.5 and OS is 2008R2. Its a master/Media Server. I am running the NBU Console run as administrator

OK - and is that the master you are configuring or another media server?

Can you setup nbrmms logging on the media server being configured to see what that says.

See these tech notes:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH214529

Check licenses on the media server, check to see if the ost-plugins/mediaservername.cfg file has been left behind from an earlier attempt

Check for the installed licenses on your master/media server :-

Required :-

Dedupe license, OST-Plugin license.

I've seen this error a few times.  Typically the admin log file (master) and the /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/tpcommand or <install_path>Veritas\Volmgr\debug\tpcommand log file are useful for figuring out what is going awry.

I wish we could see screenshots of how the storage path and the database path were entered during the wizard configuration.

It is difficult to try and troubleshoot after the fact when we have no insight into the steps that were taken.
If we knew that only a drive letter was entered without a sub-directory underneath it, we would've pointed out that a directory path was needed.

Deb, good point about the logs.
Wish admin log existed by default on a master and media server. We normally think about logs 'after the fact'.
I would never guess about tpcommand... (not at all mentioned in Dedupe Guide).

Maybe Zahid will create a blog, starting with the need for log folders before the wizard is started and with step-by-step configuration screenshots...

LOL - yeah - I found out about the tpcommand log the hard way.

 

Looks like Zahid figured this out :)  Good job!!!
