OpsCenter migration from 2003 to 2012 server will not connect to masters
Hi all, We've had to do some migration on our OpsCenter server and move it from a windows 2003 to a windows 2012 R2 server. We went about it this way with help from Symantec support. Install OpsCenter 7.6.0.1 and Agent 7.6.0.1 on 2012 server. Upgrade Server and Agent to 7.6.0.4 Move 2012 database folder to a temp spot and make a new one. Backup 7.5.0.6 database on 2003 server to a known good location. Copy database files over to the 2012 server in the new location. Run the upgrade script from 7.5.0.6 up to 7.6.0.4. (competed successfully) Start up OpsCenter and Agent. None of the steps above created any errors and the db upgrade went fine. I logged into OC and noticed all the entries I expected to be there were there. Because the masters had not yet been harnessed by this box, all of them showed up disconnected. We then proceeded to change the bp.conf file to allow access to this box by the new OC. To summarize, the masters are all running NetBackup 7.5.0.6 and OC is at 7.6.0.4. The masters are all running RHEL 5.10 or higher along the 5.x family. To enable access by OC, we've changed entries in bp.conf add new OC box to SERVER = lines as well as the OPS_CENTER_SERVER_NAME. We've also tried long name and short name. We've also dumped the host case with bpclntcmd as well as removing the host_cache dir itself. Don't even get em started on how many times we've rebooted and restarted services. No matter what we do, we always get: "The specified NetBackup Master Server could not be found. Make sure...". I'm at a loss for what could be wrong. About the only breakthrough we've had (and by we I mean myself, Symantec support and backline) is that I was able to remove one of the smaller masters and add it back successfully. Once that happened, the server came to live in OC and It can be used now. Any thoughts on this?OpsCenter upgrade issues.
We recently upgraded our Opscenter server running windows 2008 server to version 7.6.0.3. After the upgrade it connected to all the master servers in our environment properly and was showing all the expected data. The next day it lost connectivity to several master servers 2 of which are 5230 appliances and others that are also running windows server 2008. I restarted opscenter using opsadmin.bat stop/start and everything returned to normal. After about 24 hours connectivity was lost again, this time to different NBU's. I rebooted the Opscenter server and everything came back online for about 12 hours until we lost connection to several master servers again. I do not see any specific application errors in the windows logs. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after upgrading? Is there a specific location I can look at for logs pertaining to Opscenter?
Plan of Upgrade OpsCenter from 7.5.0.4 to 7.6.0.1 - view builder
Hi, I am starting to plan for our NBU upgrade to 7.6 etc and I need to upgrade OpsCenter first. Our OpsCenter has viewbuilder installed but I dont think we are using it at present, The future maybe ! OpsCenter is currently living on a windows server 2008 x64 system and i have found SORT and the installation guides suggest that view builder is not supported on this platform. Can anyone shed any light on this matter.? Is there an alternative to this ? Or do I have to migrate onto a different platform before I can upgrade. ? Any advice welcomed. Paul
