unable to log into Netbackup GUI (Status 526)

[matt077]

Hi all

i'm having trobule with a box running redhat 5 and netbackup 7.1, i cant connect to the GUI, i get unbale to log in, status 526

From the log, i get the below -

Connecting to vnetd service over PBX port = 1556
ServerInterface:Logon:Exception encountered null
ServerInterface:Logon - Initial host:null, Current host:valorum, PBX port:1556
Can not connect to the NB-Java authentication service on valorum on port 1556.  Exception:
vrts.common.server.CantConnectToAuthServViaVNETDException

Any ideas what can cause this?

Thanks

Check all services are running (bpps -x) on that server that you are connecting to - if in doubt do a netbackup start (in the bin/goodies directory) but if pbx_exchange itself is not running you may need to start that first (pbx_exchanged start)

If all services were running then check for firewalls (local and on the server) in case something is just blocking your communications

If you are running the console on a PC with UAC enabled then remember to right click and rin as administrator

Hope this helps

check you havent run out of disk space on master server

Are you running Java 7.1
Unfortunately the same version of Java as the NetBackup is usually required.
I have had 3 different versions of Java on my desktop in order to support several netBackup environments.

also a print screen of the error when i load up the gui software (this is from sitting infront of the system)

did you miss the last line when you cut/paste the bpps -x output?

should be

[matt077]

the prolbem was with /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange, looks like something or someone removed it from the system as it wasnt installed

i've installed the packages again and all is now fine

Thanks for your help all!
