Veritas NetBackup™ Troubleshooting Guide

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.
