Dear community, We are using NetBackup version 9.1.0.1 and were previously backing up two physical HP servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 shared data volumes without any issue. We have then migrated to two virtual nodes running Windows Server 2019 under VMware and backup performance is total chaos. Backing up 2GB of data takes 2 hours! We're using VSS and the NetBackup agent is installed on both virtual nodes, since backing them up using VMware native capabilities is not possible because we're using bus sharing (RDM disks). We have already opened a case with Veritas but the support agent is totally lost in the troubleshooting process. Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening and if we're doing things in the right way? I can share additional configuration data or logs if that helps! Thanks a lot and have a lovely week!699Views0likes1CommentInstall vCenter HTML5 plugin without GUI
Hi! We have a setup with a RHEL7 Master server and two 5250 appliances. It's used for a vSphere 7 plaform. We'd like the HTML Plugin installed, but I can't find an instruction for how to install it without a GUI. Our Master server runs without a GUI, and running the vwcp_manage requires a GUI.. Any ideas?758Views0likes1CommentBackup VM with TAG Failed to obtain SSO certificate using VMwarre vCloud Suite APIs
Hi, I have a problem with NetBackup and Vmware Backup using TAG Name in VIP Policy, Recently, we are defined an TAG in Vcenter server, and add to one VM to test the TAG Filter in vmware VIP policy. When i run a Backup, we get this error: Failed to obtain SSO certificate using VMware vCloud Suite APIs, msg = [com.vmware.vapi.client.exception.SslException: Host name '' dies not match the certificate subject provided by the peer (CN=XXXXX, OU=XXXX, L=XXXX, ST=XXXX, C=XX)] display name = [<VM>], server = [<Vcenter>], nbu status = 114, severity = 2. The Vcenter have an external PSC, but i can see an successfull registry en PSC Log file, asociated to vmware user used in NetBackup. We tested the name resolution from netbackup and Vcenter side, we tested the connection between port TCP/443, and we tested the ntp sincronitzation between all components (Master Server, Media Server, Vcenter and PSC). ¿Anyone have any ideas where the problem may be? Thanks so much,1.3KViews0likes3CommentsAgentless Recovery Log - Failed to Restore
Good afternoon. Yesterday I carried out an agentless VMware recovery. The recovery was only partially completed, of the 342,000 files 76 were not restored. Is there a log that will give me a list of the 76 files that were not restored? I have been looking in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/tar/agentless/ but cannot find a definitive list of the failed files. Thank you.619Views0likes1CommentFalha ao realizar restore

Hi, we often see that vmware backups of specifically sharepoint servers seem to stall. No error in Netbackup, it just seems to hang... This only happens with vm's hosting Sharepoint. It's not always but often. The only solution there is to cancel the backup, kill the bpbkar32 process and restart the backup. Sometimes it hangs again, sometimes it just takes the backup. There's no real indication why and when this happens. We backup a few hundred vm's. The issue only shows up with vm's hosting sharepoint for some reson... Does this ring a bell? Today i took a dmp of the bpbkar32 process, and it seems to hang in libfs_ntfs : ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x80000003 - {EXCEPTION} Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached.

Hi All, I am pretty new to Veritas Netbackup systems and I have been dealing with a status 196 on a client environment that has now been happening for a month. This issue is resulting in multiple policies failing due to a backup window timeout error. The policies failing are VMWare policies and are configured to use the vsphere intellingent policy backup method using annotations. I raised a veritas support case and the TSE based on his investigation advised to reduce the number of backup jobs from each policy running at any given time. However this atleast for now can not be done due to the client's requirement of not having backups run during business hours. Currently the backups are set to full backups and are backing up sizes raning from 4TB, 2TB, 1TB. I was wondering if any assistance or knowledge share can be done here to help troubleshoot and diagnose the issue at hand? Happy to provid emore clear and concise information for further understanding. Many Thanks!1.4KViews0likes4CommentsNBU Instant Recovery and vmotion
I have a very small VMware environment--about 10 VMs--that lives on one ESXi host, and I am backing it up with a VMware policy. I was looking into Instant Recovery--spinning up a VM that was needed, then using vmotion to move the VM over into the ESXi environment... but I was told that we do not have vmotion capability. Someone else on the team had thought vmotion was a feature that came with our 5240 appliance (i.e. we could vmotion the vm back into place) but I thought this was a feature that vmware had to supply. Any tips or info, including links with info on this specific type of case would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.Solved812Views0likes1Comment
