NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

SAN client service does not start

The nbftclnt service is the SAN Client service that runs on clients, If it does not start on UNIX or Linux systems, one possible cause may be the NetBackup configuration file. The following is the pathname of the file:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf

If the client host name is listed as a SERVER, the nbftclnt service does not start. If a SERVER entry exists for the client, remove the entry and then start the client service.

The client host name should be listed as CLIENT_NAME only.
