Table: Media server verification procedures for Windows
Procedure | Description |
|---|---|
Verify the media server | To determine which authentication broker the media server is authenticated against, run bpnbat -whoami with -cf for the media server's credential file. The server credentials are located in the For example: bpnbat -whoami -cf "c:\Program
Files\Veritas\Netbackup\var\vxss\credentials\
win_media.company.com"
Name: win_media.company.com
Domain: NBU_Machines@win_master.company.com
Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@win_master.company.com/
O=vx
Expiry Date: Oct 31 20:11:40 2007 GMT
Authentication method: Veritas Private Security
Operation completed successfully.If the domain listed is not NBU_Machines@win_master.company.com, consider running bpnbat -addmachine for the name in question (win_media). This command is run on the computer with the authentication broker that serves the NBU_Machines domain (win_master). Then, on the computer where we want to place the certificate (win_media), run: bpnbat -loginmachine |
Verify that the server has access to the authorization database | To make sure that the media server is able to access the authorization database as it needs, run bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile "machine_credential_file" For example: bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile "C:\Program
Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\vxss\credentials\
win_media.company.com"
NBU_Operator
NBU_Admin
NBU_SAN Admin
NBU_User
NBU_Security Admin
Vault_Operator
Operation completed successfully.If this command fails, run bpnbaz -AllowAuthorization on the master server that is the authorization server (win_master.company.com). |
Unable to load library message | Verify the media server and that it has access to the proper database. This verification indirectly informs you that the NetBackup Authentication and Authorization client libraries for both authentication and authorization are properly installed. If either of these procedures fail with a message "unable to load libraries": Check to make certain the authentication client libraries and authorization client libraries are installed. You may also verify that the authentication domains are correct by viewing the access control host properties for this media server. |
