Adding a NetBackup master server
Use the following procedure to add a NetBackup master server or a NetBackup Appliance master server to the OpsCenter console. This procedure can be used for both NBAC and non-NBAC servers.
In case of a clustered NetBackup setup, use this procedure for each node of the cluster.
To add a NetBackup master server or appliance master server to the OpsCenter console on Windows and UNIX
- Log on to the managed master server or NetBackup Appliance master server as Administrator or root for Windows and UNIX respectively.
- Browse to the following NetBackup installation directory:
Windows
INSTALL_PATH/bin/admincmdUNIX
INSTALL_PATH/bin/admincmd - Run the following command on the master server or the appliance master server:
nbregopsc -add <Name of the OpsCenter Server>
The nbregopsc command registers OpsCenter with the current master server and adds this master server to OpsCenter. This command also establishes a trust relationship from the authentication broker of NetBackup master server to the authentication broker of OpsCenter server.
- If OpsCenter is of an earlier version and the master server is NBAC-enabled, a trust relationship must be established from the authentication broker of the OpsCenter server to the authentication broker (AB) of the NetBackup master server. OpsCenter cannot monitor NetBackup servers if the trust relationship has not been set up between OpsCenter and NetBackup server.
To establish the trust relationship, log on as Administrator or root on the OpsCenter server host and navigate to the following OpsCenter installation directory:
Windows
INSTALL_PATH\server\authbroker\binUNIX
INSTALL_PATH/SYMC/Opscenter/Server/authbroker/binOn the OpsCenter server host, run the following command depending on your specific master server version:
7.0 and 7.0.1 master server
vssat setuptrust --broker <MasterServerhost:2821> --securitylevel high
7.1 or later master server or appliance master server
vssat setuptrust --broker <MasterServerhost:13783> --securitylevel high
7.6 or later master server or appliance master server
vssat setuptrust --broker <MasterServerhost:2821> --securitylevel high
This is an optional step for OpsCenter 7.6 and later versions.
Note that <MasterServerhost> is the name of the master server.
- Restart all the NetBackup services (processes).
In case you add an appliance 2.0 master server, check if OpsCenter can connect to the appliance master server. Restart all appliance services or processes only if OpsCenter cannot connect to the Appliance master server.
Note:
In case running the nbregopsc command fails, you must manually add the master server or the appliance master server to the OpsCenter console.
See Adding a master server or an appliance master server in the OpsCenter console.
- Once you perform this procedure, the master server is automatically added to the OpsCenter console.
