Debug logs
Vault writes debug logs in the standard NetBackup debug logging path as follows:
Vault commands write messages in log files in a vault directory. You must first create the vault directories so that daily log files are generated. If the directories do not exist, the log files are not created.
The log files are in the following vault directories:
UNIX
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/vault/log.mmddyy
Windows
install_path\NetBackup\logs\vault\mmddyy.log
The NetBackup Vault Manager (nbvault) writes messages in Veritas Unified Logging (VxUL) log files. (VxUL creates log file names and messages in a standardized format.)
All unified logs are written to the following locations:
UNIX
/usr/openv/logs/nbvault
Windows install_path\NetBackup\logs\nbvault
The originator ID (OID) for NetBackup Vault is 166.
See the "Using Logs and Reports" chapter of the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide for more information on unified logging.
The NetBackup Vault Manager (nbvault) manages Vault activity and arbitrates access to the Vault robot, vault, and profile configuration information. The NetBackup Vault Manager must run at all times so Vault functions correctly. On Windows systems, use the bpup.exe and bpdown.exe commands to start and stop the NetBackup services, including the NetBackup Vault Manager. On UNIX systems, use netbackup start and netbackup stop to start and stop NetBackup and Vault daemons.
