OpsCenter not connected to master server
Hi all, I'm new to OpsCenter and I'm having difficulties making it communicate with my master server. Current setup: - master is 6.5.3.1, running on Solaris 9, 32-bit; no media servers in my config - I've installed OpsCenter 7.0 on a Windows 2003 machine, 32-bit All went fine with the installation, Ihad some trouble starting Tomcat but I managed to bypass those and now I have a fully functional server and a nice, clean GUI up and running. What I don't have is a functional connection between OpsCenter and the master. Here's what I did, chronologically: installed OpsCenter, ViewBuilder, ICS and Agent on the Windows host checked host2host connectivity (bpclntcmd -ip/hn are OK, ping and telnet on port 1556 work fine) checked if the master has the windows host in the "Servers" list -> OK checked if /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx-exchange is running on the master -> OK checked if nbsl daemon is running on the master -> OK "nbregopsc -add" isn't recognized on the master, I assume it only works in NBU7.0 and above in terms of agent configuration, I've created one from the GUI (since the master is 6.5) yet since OC is not connected, nothing gets collected I've restarted the OC server multiple times checked nbproxy, which seems OK too: bpps -x | grep nbproxy root 4387 26800 0 Jan 20 ? 0:00 sh -c "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy" dblib nbpem_cleanup root 4388 4387 0 Jan 20 ? 0:01 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy dblib nbpem_cleanup root 3920 3918 0 Jan 20 ? 0:08 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy dblib nbpem_email root 26806 26800 0 Jan 20 ? 0:00 sh -c "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy" dblib nbpem root 26792 26791 0 Jan 20 ? 0:11 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy dblib nbjm root 3918 26800 0 Jan 20 ? 0:00 sh -c "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy" dblib nbpem_email root 14478 14477 0 18:27:42 ? 0:01 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy libminlic -mgrIORFile -LicenseManager-3.ior.mg root 26791 26787 0 Jan 20 ? 0:00 sh -c "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy" dblib nbjm root 14477 26862 0 18:27:42 ? 0:00 sh -c "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy" libminlic -mgrIORFile -LicenseManager- root 26807 26806 0 Jan 20 ? 4:36 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbproxy dblib nbpem I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong here, and I suspect the fact that the agent needs to be installed actually on the master server, NOT on the OC host. If so, please confirm, this particularly important aspect is not clearly stated in the OC admin guide (but I've pretty much given up hopes of seeing proper English and a decent logical flow of ideas in Symantec's documentation, after stumbling upon this: "Either delete the user backup schedule that is a copy from a full or incremental schedule that has the calendar base schedule and recreate the user backup schedule or modify the existing user backup schedule by changing the backup type to full backup and then de-select the calendar base and change it back to user backup type schedule." If someone can translate that, I'd be really grateful...). If my master is running on Solaris I suppose I'd need the Solaris agent? Is there any patch I need to apply to my version of OC (7.0)? Any authentication issues between the two servers I should be aware of ? Below is the security.conf file from the Windows OC host: #Last Updated on #Fri Aug 14 15:58:26 IST 2009 vxss.portnumber=2821 vxss.pbxportnumber=1556 vxss.hostname=localhost vxss.password=EQWWPZUwh5o= vxss.username=admin vxss.domainName=broker I've already executed on the OC host the following command, with it being the resource broker, to no avail: ./vssat setuptrust --broker <RootBrokerMachine>:<port> --securitylevel high Thank you for whatever useful advice you can give me.Solved6.3KViews2likes8CommentsExclude certain Error codes from generating SNMP traps - Ops Center & HPOM
Hello Folks, We have been in the process of integrating NetBackup backup failure alerts with HP OML for auto-creation of the Incident tickets and get it auto-assigned to our operations ticketing queue. We have got somesuccess in this integration, but there is still some kind of refinement we would like to do in that, as in for example, certain error codes should not generate SNMP traps and not being sent to HP OM and auto-generation of incident tickets for those can be avoided, for example, error code 1, 150 e.t.c to name of few. We just do not wish all backup-failure error codes to auto-generate an Incident ticket for us. How we can achieve that please?

NBU 7.6.0.3 it seems Symantec has left out an obvious report that is needed by many admins. i'm referring to this link which is also looking for the same custom report i am looking: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-generate-report-all-backup-jobspolicies-schedulestart-time-and-retention i too have tried the custom reports but i cannot get it to report to what i need which is: Backup policy name Schedule (daily/weekly/monthly) Start Time Exchange Backup Daily 23:00 Oracle Backup Weekly 23:30 if one has a report like that, it would be easy to see if my backup schedules are overlapping or there are some gaps.2.4KViews1like9CommentsOpsCenter does not export all data from a report
I have been running data that shows (on the screen) a month's worth of tabular data. However, when I try to export it (or e-mail, makes no difference) it only gives me 3 days worth. Any ideas on how to get it to export ALL the data from the report to a CSV file? It shouldn't be this difficult...

Hi everyone, I have a media server with the Netbackup OpsCenter 7.1.0.4 installed in Windows Server 2008 R2, and I need to migrate it to a new media with Linux OS without losing the reports that I already created.

I have an Ops Center 7504 (Analytics) running on W2K8R2. I am attempting to run a report, Backup /Recovery, Job/Image/Media, and when I try and filter on clients many of the clients who have had backups run are not appearing in the drop-down. In addition, I am seeing some clients appearing as IP addresses as opposed to the client name - even though all backups oof these clients were conducted using client name. I am confused as to why ALL clients who have had backups run are not available in the drop-down filter, and also where are the IP addresses coming from for some of the other clients ? Is there a way to 'refresh' the database ? Both of my master servers are showing as connected, and I have restarted Ops Center (OPSADMIN.BAT STOP & START) - but still clients are not appearing in the drop-down. Any advice appreciated.

I wantto configure OpsCenter for NetBackup 7.1 environment and have few basic questions. Your answers will help me making my decision. Thanks in advance. 1. How far OpsCenter database can retain backup History? Suppose I want to check if backup happened for servers 3 years back can I go that far (ofcourse I don't to restore it just want to check) 2. Does OpsCenter support reporting Vault, Duplication, Archive job types?? 3. When the collector fetches the data from Netbackup Master server does it significantly affect the performance, particularly in a large environment?? 4. What are the common issue faced before configuring the OpsCenter?? Thanks YogeshSolved1.4KViews0likes6Comments
