NetBackup™ Troubleshooting Guide

Checking that PBX is running

After you know that PBX is installed on the NetBackup primary server, you need to verify that it is running.

To see if PBX is running

  1. On UNIX, check for the PBX process:
    ps | grep pbx_exchange
  2. To start PBX on UNIX, type the following:
    /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged start
    				

    On Windows, make sure that the Private Branch Exchange service is started. (Go to Start > Run and enter services.msc.)
