Problem

Web services fail to start after upgrading Java JRE through nbcomponentupdate using the Oracle JRE installer downloaded from Oracle or from an EEB supplied by Veritas.

 

Error Message

Catalina.out shows:

/usr/openv/wmc/webserver/bin/catalina.sh: line 504: /usr/openv/java/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

 

Cause

The update process is changing the permissions of the JRE folder:

  • /usr/openv/java/jre
  • <install_path>\NetBackup\jre

 

Solution

Check the catalina.out file at this location:

  • /usr/openv/wmc/webserver/logs/catalina.out,
  • NetBackup\wmc\webserver\logs\catalina.out  

If it shows a permission denied error as seen above, then run the command below to apply the proper permissions.

NOTE: For Unix both commands should not be needed, so try 755 first and then try 777 if the issue is not resolved:

  • Unix: chmod -R 755 /usr/openv/java/jre ​​​​​
  • Unix: chmod -R 777 /usr/openv/java/jre
  • Windows: icacls <install_path>\NetBackup\jre  /grant BUILTIN\\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX) /T

 

Note: Reverting JRE using nbcomponentupdate will sometimes also allow the services to start.

nbcomponentupdate -product NetBackup -component jre -revert -force
