NetBackup IT Analytics Release Notes

SC-31099

In case of Hyper-V Intelligent policy, the client name returned by Veritas Backup Manager is always VM UUID, regardless of the Primary VM Identifier of the Hyper-V Virtual Machine, which causes failure in collection of file metadata. This behavior also leads to IT Analytics reporting some or all such clients as unprotected.

SC-31525

NetBackup IT Analytics Portal installed on a Linux host will log an invalid data growth exception if the host has two or more folders with the same name in the root directory. For example, folder names /boot and /BOOT will log the exception even though the letter case is different in both the names.

The exception is not logged if identical folder names are found at the subfolder levels.

SC-32137

File Analytics can be enabled either from the Host File Analytics policy or through NetBackup File Analytics policy. If you enable both for the same host, then the data appearing in the reports will not be accurate.

Hence, ensure you configure File Analytics for a given host only in one policy, preferably through the NetBackup File Analytics policy.

SC-32319

File Analytics Collection Status report displays the same File Count value for both Current Collection and Previous Collection.

22582

For SAN Fabric collection, in certain cases, the database may contain aliases that actually do not exist, but they appear to be associated with a zone.

21948

When running checkinstall for VMware collection, error messages may not accurately reflect the cause of the error. Inspect the collector logs for the actual cause of the error.

SC-40668

NetBackup IT Analytics Portal with Foundation licenses displays host groups that are unrelated with Veritas NetBackup under HostGroups Menu in Admin tab.

You can ignore the Non-NetBackup hosts groups.

SC-41008

When a license is expired, consumed count on the license report may not show correct value.

SC-40521

Windows exporter is configured to run as a service on Windows server by the installer. Due to this, the exporter logs the following error on startup.

level=error msg= "Failed to start service: The service process
could not connect to the service controller."source="exporter.go:337"

Ignore this error. Since Windows exporter is an open-source exporter, error is logged because it is run as a service. It does not impact any of scraping processes for Data Sender or any other running exporter.

SC-41009

NetBackup rawdata files are generated with the command name in the rawdata filename. For bpdbjobs command, it appends the job ID along with the command name. If a Windows Netbackup setup has large number of jobs and on-demand collection or a scheduled collection with rawdata is executed, the rawdata file may get generated with large file name which is difficult to delete. If you try to uninstall the Data Collector, or delete the rawdata folder for that specific NetBackup setup, you may see the issue, "Unable to delete; filename too long".

SC-38719

In the report, depending on data, some of the bars are small/narrow. When you export the report, the chart image is made further smaller in width, causing the small bars not to be visible.

SC-41611

The on-demand backup jobs triggered using Run Now functionality (identified as BACKUPNOW jobs) from the portal remain in the NetBackup database for nearly 8 hours. The backup policies probe of Veritas NetBackup collector may not collect these jobs if its schedule is every 8 hours or higher.

Workaround: Schedule the Backup Policies probe to run at least every 7 hours.

SC-40722

SC-40721

Systems Administration reports are designed to include error and performance data at a system level across all domains. In a multi-domain environment, if access is granted to any of these reports to users at a lower level domain, any report which includes system-wide data may expose information related to domains to which the users do not have access.

As a best practice and to avoid this issue, privileges for the System Administration reports must be granted only to top-level Systems Administrators and not to users in sub-domains. If non-systems administrators have been granted privileges to these reports, remove such privileges so that only top-level Systems Administrators can see and run them.

SC-40963

The uninstaller fails to uninstall the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal on Windows with non-English locale systems.

Work around: Download and mount the Installer ISO and run the uninstaller.
