NetBackup™ Deployment Guide for Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) Cluster

Resolving an issue of failed probes

If pod is not in ready state for log time, the kubectl describe pod/<podname> -n <namespace> command displays the following errors:

  • Readiness probe failed: The readiness of
    the external dependencies is not set.
    Server setup is still in progress.
  • Liveness probe failed: bpps command did
    not list nbwmc process. nbwmc is not alive.
    The Primary server is unhealthy.

To resolve an issue of failed probes

  1. If you are deploying NetBackup on Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster for the first time, check the installation logs for detailed error.

    Use any of the following methods:

    • Execute the following command in the respective primary server or media server pod and check the logs in /mnt/nblogs/setup-server.logs:

      kubectl exec -it -n <namespace> <pod-name> -- /bin/bash

    • Run the kubectl logs pod/<podname> -n <namespace> command.

  2. Check pod events for obtaining more details for probe failure using the following command:

    kubectl describe pod/<podname> -n <namespace>

    Kubernetes will automatically try to resolve the issue by restarting the pod after liveness probe times out.

  3. Depending on the error in the pod logs, perform the required steps or contact technical support.
