Custom NDMP Port - Backup Exec 20.4
This is for Backup Exec 20.4 running on Windows 2019 Server. We need to backup a couple Linux clients at a site where port 10000 is already in use by some proprietary software. We had no issues changing it on the Linux host in /etc/services - the service started up fine and we can confirm connectivity with both Telnet from another Unix host and with 'Test-NetConnection' in Powershell on the Backup Exec server.Both show the port is opening and receiving requests, but I can't seem to get Backup Exec to discover the server. There is no Firewall between these two hosts, plus the TCP connections on that port work fine. We picked port 55555 just at random as it's not used and won't likely be used. From what I found so far, this is the 'control port' to establish the initial connection. Is there a setting that needs changed in Backup Exec to allow for the initial control connection over a custom port?
the infamous ralus agent with lib load errors on SLES
Hi, I installed ralus agent 20.4 on a fresh SLES 15. Install went trhough without error. Ran a test backup and that says success on BE Server. Yet When I start ralus agent with sudo ./beremote --log-console & I get NDMPDMainThreadFunc spawned: grpid=1, tid=-2123458816 : FS_InitFileSys : libbedsnt5.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedssql2.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) libbedsxchg.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsxese.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsmbox.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedspush.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsmdoc.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedssps2.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedssps3.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsupfs.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsshadow.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : libbedsoffhost.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) : loaded libbedsvx.so Do these have to be loaded for ralus to work properly ? I searched and found quite a few fellow-ralus-experimenters with the same log entries but I havent found anyone who successfully got rid of them. then further down: libbedssmsp.so loaded at index 11 libbedsra.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) libbedsdb2.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) libbedsvmesx.so could not be loaded: 0x 2 (2) Initializing FSs FS 1 failed to initialize: 0xE000FE46 Do I need the FS 1 initialized for ralus to work properly? Oh and Veritas engineers, could you consider compiling ralus for more linux distros ? thanks chris

ubuntu backup stalls
I have a support case open for already some time. Case number is 180206-001194 I want to backup a Ubuntu server using RALUS and BackupExex 16 FP2 with latest HF installed. The problem I experience is that the backup job gets stalled at random files. As soon as the job gets stalled it will not go any further. If I try to cancel the job it will stay in Cancel pending state forewer. The only way to cancel the job is to restart the RALUS service on target host. After doing this the job will get to cancelled state within 10 minutes. I noticed that downgrading RALUS version to version 15 or lower will prevent backup jobs from stalling, and they will succeed. Here is a list of versions I tried: 14.1.1786.1059 (2014SP2) success 14.2.1180.3142 (2015FP5) success 16.0.1142.1327 (2016FP1) stalls 16.0.1142.1632 (2016FP2) stalls 16.0.1142.1644 (2016SP2 HF 128051) stalls The log files taken with RALUS16.0.1142.1644 are attached. You can clearly see in the ralus log file the moment when that backup job stalls, as it just starts spamming identical messages over and over again. Support engineer keeps telling me that the file on which the job stalls is open in some other application, even though the file is every time different, and the output of "lsof" command doesn't confirm that. He also keeps telling me that AOFO is not supported on Ubuntu, but he can't explain why the job just doesn't skip open files. What result I expect: 1. The jobs should not stall. 2. If the job stalls it should be cancellable it from BE user interface. 3. The regression in RALUS introduced in BE16 should be fixed. ______ I am terribly unhappy with the level of support I am receiving at the moment, as the case is open for alredy more than 2 weeks, and I didn't get any meaningfull help from the veritas support.
