Veritas NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

Errors during policy creation

The following errors may occur when you attempt to create a policy:

  • cannot connect on socket (25)
  • Error Validating Hyper-V machine name
    Connect to Hyper-v server <name> failed (25)

    In either case, the NetBackup client service is not running on the current owner (node) of the cluster. Start the NetBackup client service on the cluster node and create the policy again.
