Viewing logs pertaining to host validation
Host validation logs from proxy are located at the following location:
Windows: Install_Path\NetBackup\logs\nbpxyhelper
UNIX: /usr/openv/logs/nbpxyhelper
Proxy uses unified logging.
Additionally, for incoming connections, host validation logs are also stored in the respective process log files, where NetBackup host authorization occurs.
For example, if host validation has failed during bpcd authorization, the relevant logs can be found at:
Windows: Install_Path\NetBackup\logs\bpcd
UNIX: /usr/openv/NetBackup/logs/bpcd
Example log messages that are recorded when a host connection is dropped:
Connection is to be dropped for peer host: examplemaster with error code:8618 error message: Connection is dropped, because the host ID-to-hostname mapping is not yet approved.
Connection is to be dropped for peer host: 10.10.10.10 with error code:8620 error message: Connection is dropped, because insecure communication with hosts is not allowed.
Note:
The host validation failures are shown as connection failure errors on NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts.
