Editing Host file on Netbackup 5520 appliance
I could do with some help on what options are available to add entries to the host file on the 5520 appliance. I am familiar with using the CLISH and navigating to >>Network from the main menu and the using the following command: hosts add 10.0.0.1 nbutest.nbappliance.lab nbutest host show - will provide an output of information in the file. Is there anyway to access the the host file by going through Support>>Maintenance(Enter Password)>>Elevate I believe you can drop in to the normal Linux directory structure and navigate to \usr\openv\netbackup... But where is the host file located and what is is called since most Linux articles seem to refer to \etc\hosts I have tried to use vi and view the hosts & hosts.conf files located in the \usr\openv\netbackup\bin directories, but they do not seem to list the same info as what I see when running hosts show through CLISH. Any assistance would be appreciated with the above. Thanks In Advance

Firewall woes: Definitive TCP Port list for Netbackup
Hi, I keep running into problems connecting to clients/servers that have firewalls running. Does anyone have a COMPLETE portlist of TCP/UDP ports that should be open, so that I can do ALL possible Netbackup actions imaginable? We are using Netbackup 6.5.6 and 7.1 in a full Windows environment. I would like to put a generic firewall ruleset that is the same on all clients, so that Netbackup will never ever be bothered by the firewalls again... Hope someone has this information available! Thanks! Fred

No jobs in activity monitor
Hi Experts, Pls help with the below queries. 1:- How could we ensure that our backup policy was successfull if we dont have no jobs in activity monitor(Its blank) but we can run commands on the server. 2:- What happen to the images that are left incomplete in the tape and when do these get deleted? Where is the option to change it? Lets say a server backup is running it wrote 2 gb data on tape and it got failed after leaving 2 gb incomplete image on tape? 3:- We have a flat file policy which has one server and 3 streams. I need to check if its parent stream got successfull or not. I checked in catalog but found 2 streams got successfull. Suppose we have 15 streams so i dont think we need to check in catlog for each stream to ensure backup got successfull or not. There might be some way to check if its parent stream is successfull we may consider this poilcy as successfull. (We dont have jobs in activity monitor) Thanks & Regards,
