Problem
NetBackup resource group fails to come online due to NetBackup 10.3 being installed with an in-built evaluation license in the cluster.
Error Message
NetBackup installation completes successfully with no error message.
However, NetBackup resource group is in PARTIAL state. When you manually try to make the NetBackup resource group go online, it turns into FAULTED state.
Cause
When you use in-built licenses, NetBackup Unix/Linux installer does not recognize the evaluation license as an Enterprise Server License and thus, does not perform the cluster configuration.
Solution
Once you complete Unix/Linux clustered primary server installation on an active node. You must manually run the following command to complete the cluster configuration.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/cluster_config -completeConfig
Then, you can see the NetBackup resource group is in ONLINE state.
