Setting up a detailed monitoring script for the NetBackup server on VCS on Windows
In the detail monitoring mode, the NetBackup agent runs a script to verify that NetBackup is available. A sample script, DetailedMonitor.bat, is provided with the agent for this purpose. You can customize the script to meet your configuration requirements.
Note:
Before setting up detailed monitoring, the NetBackup agent must run base level of monitoring.
This topic describes how to set up detailed monitoring for a NetBackup server that is installed in a VCS for Windows environment. The script file must exist on all nodes in the service group's system list.
To set up a detailed monitoring script for the NetBackup server on VCS on Windows
- Configure and run the NetBackup agent with the basic monitoring.
- For each node in the NetBackup service group, create a backup policy that performs a user backup of the file install_path\bin\cluster\VCS\DetailedMonitor.txt.
install_path is the home directory of NetBackup.
For example, C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup
For example, if your NetBackup service group contains five nodes, you must create five different policies, each referencing a different node.
- Make a copy of following file and edit it to fit your configuration.
install_path\bin\cluster\DetailedMonitor.bat
Replace VIRTSRVR with the virtual server name for the NetBackup primary or media server.
Make any other edits necessary.
- From the command line, type the following command to verify the script runs without errors:
DetailedMonitorProd
