NetBackup Master Server states in OpsCenter

This section lists the different states that can exist for a master server and what they mean.

The master server can have any of the following states:

Table: Master server states

Master server state

Description

Connected

The master server is Connected when the data collection status for all data types is not Failed. This means that the collection status for all the data types must be any other status except Failed.

Not Connected

The master server is Not Connected when the data collection for all data types fails. This may be when there is a network issue because of which OpsCenter is not able to connect and collect data from NetBackup.

Note:

Data collection can fail, and then start after some time. This is normal behavior. If data collection for a particular data type fails, it should be automatically started again within 10 minutes. All the functionality other than the functionality of the failed data type can be used normally while collection for a data type fails.

Disabled

The master server is Disabled when the data collection for the selected master server is disabled.
