Backup operation fails with error 6654

This error is encountered during the following scenarios:

  • If HBase credentials are not added in NetBackup primary server.

    Workaround:

    Ensure that the HBase credentials are added in NetBackup primary server. Use the tpconfig command. For more information, See Adding HBase credentials in NetBackup.

  • If HBase plug-in files are not installed on backup host.

    Workaround:

    Ensure that the HBase plug-in files are installed on all backup hosts before you begin backup operation.

  • If a NetBackup client that is used as a backup host is not allowlisted.

    Workaround:

    Ensure that the NetBackup client that is used as a backup host is allowlisted before you begin backup operation.

    See Adding a NetBackup client to the allowed list.
