Monitor NetBackup daemons

The Activity monitor displays the status of NetBackup daemons on primary and media servers. To start or stop daemons, you must have the applicable RBAC role or similar permissions on the primary or the media server.

Note that not all daemons can be stopped from the NetBackup web UI. On back-level servers, you can still stop and start some services that you cannot in 10.2 and later releases.

To view, stop, or start NetBackup daemons

  1. On the left, select Activity monitor. Then select the Daemons tab.
  2. (Conditional) To manage daemons for a media server in the environment, select Change server.
  3. Locate the daemon.
  4. On the right, select Actions. Then choose from the following actions.

    Stop

    Stop the selected daemon.

    Start

    Start the selected daemon.
