Veritas NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

NetBackup policy validation failed

NetBackup policy validation may fail in the following cases:

  • No host name entry for the virtual machine exists in the DNS server or in the Windows hosts file on the Hyper-V server:

    Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

    Create a virtual machine name entry in either the DNS server or in the hosts file of the Hyper-V server.

  • A firewall is enabled and no port entry exists for the master server.

    Add a port entry for the NetBackup master server.

    See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide.
