NetBackup Appliance 5230 as Master Server
Hello there!! Does anybody know if I can upgrade a NetBackup Appliance 5230 configured as master server from 2.6.1 to 2.7.1? Or if I can have a NetBackup Appliance 5230 configured as master server with version 2.7.1? I try to find the information in SORT, but I don't realle understand if a 5230 master server can have 2.7.1 or not: "NetBackup 5200 Series Appliances running 2.x or later can be used as back-level media servers in a NetBackup 7.7.x configuration. NetBackup Appliance and NetBackup versions will resynchronize in future releases." And one more question, does anybody know how can I determine if I need to use a 4 Tb or a 14 Tb master server? Thanks!!Solved2.4KViews1like3CommentsPower8 - netbackup integration

Hi We are trying to add a route to our existing appliance 5230, running at 2.6.0.3. This is configured in media server role. Currently this server is getting used for backup of only one client which contains Netezza DB. Now we want to use this appliance also for backup of few more clients and those clients are not reachable from this appliance. I checked there are no routes for those clients on this appliance. following is current routing table: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.100.249.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 bond1 10.100.14.0 10.100.14.254 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 192.168.229.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.100.7.0 10.100.14.30 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 10.100.117.0 10.100.14.30 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 bond0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo bond0 has IP - 10.100.14.30 bond1 has IP- 10.100.249.5 eth0 has default IP. I am able to ping gateway 10.100.14.254 from the destination clients. Now when i try to add static route from WEB GUI, it refelcts error "Default gateway is in use". when I try to add route from CLISH, i recieve following error message.

Hi, We have new Network infratructure being implemented where the traditional method of stacking switches to allow us to LACP across multiple switches, has been replaced with a new NEXUS 9000 setup which now uses something call VPC (Virtual Port Channelling). I dont know much about this but have been asked by the Technical Architects to confirm that the VPC is supported by the Netbackup appliances? Our appliances are 5230 at version 2.6.0.2 (7.6.0.2) Hopefully someone has come across this before and can help ? Thanks Nick912Views0likes1Comment- 1.2KViews0likes6Comments
Upgrade operating system for Symantec Appliance 5220
Our Information Security team, as per the annual audit,scanned the hosts for vulnerability and found that the OS on these appliance is very old - scan output message says, "Unsupported Unix Operating System". Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities. Question: We have upgraded the Appliance to version 2.6.1.1, however that does not upgrade the underlying OS. Is there any technote from Symantec supporting that OS shall remain the same or plans on upgrading the Appliance OS etc. in detail? Thanks All.Solved1.2KViews0likes5CommentsNFS mount point on NetBackup 5230 Appliance
Hi Team, Please I need your expert advise on this solution: Customer has proposed implementing backup solution via NFS; this solution is based on having the centralized server IPs & file path where to send the backups to. We currently have Symantec NetBackup 5230 Appliance installed in this customer datacenter. Question: Will NetBackup 5230 Appliance support mount points from network file systems (NFS). This will enable customer backup their network file system data to the central storage location, which is on the NBU appliance. Thanks in advance, FelixSolved6.6KViews1like11CommentsAppliance, emails, SMTP port?
Hi, Env: N5230 v2.6.0.3 (soon to be patched to v2.6.0.4). Is it possible to specify a port number for SMTP authenticated emails? I know classic SMTP uses port 25, and I understand that typically email admins like to have SMTP authentication for emails take place on port 587. Is it possible to configure an appliance to use port 587? Maybe it ispossible to specify, within the CLIsh, the target SMTP server IP address with a port number, e.g.: 10.10.10.10:587 ...anyone tried that with success? Thanks.687Views0likes2CommentsNBU5230 (Master Server) unable to communicate with NBU5230 Media Server
Hi Support, Please I need your urgent assistance. I am setting up a new NetBackup environment with two NBU 5230 appliances. 1x5230 will serve as the Master/Media server and the other 1x5230 will serve as Media server. The customer provided a private network, where IPs of both appliances can ping each other. However, after successfully setting up the appliance "Master/Media" I also try to setup the 2nd appliance as "Media server" but I got the errors below: Could not check if master server 'mbunbuapp01' has any storage objects for storage server 'mutnbuapp01'. Could not find EMM server of master server 'mbunbuapp01' (48:client hostname could not be found). NB: After setting up the 1st appliance master/media server, I did added the FQHN of the Media server to be to Settings > NetBackup AdditionalServers Addmedia-server of the Master/Media, but I still got the errors above. Because of the above error, I have not been able to setup the 2nd appliance as "Media server" which is suppose to communicate with appliance "Master/Media server" I also notice ports 5900 and 7578 were not open on the Master/Media server, could this be responsible for the applaince Media server not communication with the Master server.
