Host mapping conflict in NetBackup

The following error message is displayed due to host mapping conflict in NetBackup:

..exited with status 7659: Connection cannot be established because the host validation failed on the target host

In kubernetes deployment, communication to pod goes through multiple layers that is, load balancer, nodes and pod. In certain setups during communication host may get associated with certain IP and would be changed. That IP may get associated with some different pod and which causes conflict. The host mapping entries is in the form of "::ffff:<ip address>"

To resolve the issue of host mapping conflict in NetBackup

  1. To resolve the conflict issue, refer to Mappings for Approval tab section of the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
  2. To remove the entries that are not valid, refer to Removing host ID to host name mappings section of the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
