Veritas NetBackup™ Release Notes

Permission denied error occurs if both user and password are updated

An issue might occur if you try to update the CloudPoint Server agentless connection credentials with a non-standard user. If you create a new user on a specific VM, then the user should be a part of the sudoers file, or the connection fails. The new user must have the permission to perform any root operation using the sudo command without a password.

Workaround:

To avoid this issue:

  • Ensure that the sudo command without password is configured. Check the user entry in the /etc/sudoers file.

  • Ensure that the binary flexsnap-agentless and plug-ins are not created with the old user. If they are created with the old user, delete the files.
