Why I get this message ?

Any ideas ?

[revarooo]

Is tmn-app06.utair.dom in your SERVER list on the Master Server?

[Marianne]

requestor tmn-app06.utair.dom is not a valid server for query 223

What kind of 'query' was initiated from tmn-app06.utair.dom?

Are you trying to perform a redirected restore to tmn-app06.utair.dom?
If so, have you created files in netbackup\db\altnames? (e.g. No.Restrictions)

Are clients authorised to perform browse and/or restores? 
Check Host Properties -> Master -> Client Attributes

Please let us know what exactly is happening on tmn-app06.utair.dom. When we know, we can provide appropriate advice.

In the meantime, check that bprd log folder exist on the master server.
If not, create it and restart NBU Request Service.

Next time you see the error, copy bprd log file to bprd.txt and upload as File attachment.

revaroo.

Is tmn-app06.utair.dom in your SERVER list on the Master Server?

No. I have only one Master Server  -  tmn-backup.

Marianne

query type is FULL backup.

I did not perform a redirected restore to tmn-app06.utair.dom.

In C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\altnames> I find the file No.Restrictions, its empty.

>Are clients authorised to perform browse and/or restores? 
>Check Host Properties -> Master -> Client Attributes.

browse and restores are marked in Client Attributes, but tmn-app06  is out in Clients list in Client Attributes.

I have many clients, but in this list there is no of them.

bprd log folder exist on the master server and I have logs there. What shall I look in this log? Log 040914.txt is attached.

[Mark_Solutions]

Is this client doing an application backup such as SQL?

If so make sure its Netbackup client name, the name in the policy and the name in any script or bch file all match - both in FQDN terms and in their case (i.e. upper or lower case)

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

Please tell us more about the Full backup that this client is trying to run.

What kind of Full backup? As per Mark's request - if this is a database backup, please show us the script.

Does Client name in policy match hostname exactly (tmn-app06.utair.dom)?

Show us the policy for this client.
Run this command on the master:

bppllist <policy-name> -U
(command is in ..\netbackup\bin\admincmd)

We see connection request from the client in master's bprd log, but there is no indication of what exactly the client is requesting:

14:04:04.425 [9608.9528] <2> connected_peer: Connection from host tmn-app06.utair.dom, 10.96.37.91, on non-reserved port 59506

14:04:04.581 [9608.9528] <2> read_text_file: is_disk_client_configured(tmn-app06.utair.dom) failed: 227
14:04:04.581 [9608.9528] <2> process_request: read_text_file failed - status = client is not validated to use the server (131)
14:04:04.581 [9608.9528] <2> process_request: EXIT STATUS 131

[Mark_Solutions]

It could also be that that client was installed as a media server and so is trying to connect to the Master / EMM alll of the time - just cannot tell from the log

[ipmanyak]

Full backup is a backup of two files: 

D:\Backup_1C\Backup_Full_1C8.7z
D:\Backup_1C\Arch_1C8.cmd

Netbackup client name is tmn-app06. Its not a media server.

Result of command:   bppllist tmn-app06_Base1C

We still don't know what exactly is kicked off from the client side.

The policy output shows us a policy and schedule type that can only be kicked off from a NBU server - either manually or automatically as per the schedule on the master.
This policy does not allow any backups to be kicked off from the client.

If you want to start backups from the client, you need to add a User Backup schedule with an open window during which Client will be allowed to run a manual backup.
