NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector Notes and Troubleshooting

Install the Veritas NetBackup Data Collector on shared volume attached to the active node.

On the same node, delete the start up scripts, by running the command:

 #  find /etc -name "*aptare*"

Manually delete the following files:

/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K30aptare_agent
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80aptare_agent
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K40aptare_agent
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80aptare_agent
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K40aptare_agent

Update the /etc/hosts file with IP and hostname mapping of aptareagent portal on all the cluster nodes.

Copy the following files from the node where Data Collector is installed to all other cluster nodes:

/etc/systemd/system/aptare_kafka.service

/etc/systemd/system/aptare_zookeeper.service

Run these commands on each cluster node where you have copied the above files.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl reset-failed

Using Veritas Infoscale Availability (VCS), create a separate service group for the agent. The following set of screen shots show the visual representation in VCS. There are multiple methods to set up the configuration. These instructions use the main.cf to setup.

See Main.cf.

Create a file /opt/aptare_scripts/aptare_dc_monitor.sh on all the cluster nodes with the following. Ensure execute permission is provided to the file for root user as owner.

#!/bin/sh

# APTARE_HOME should be set to the base path where aptare 
# data-colletor is installed
APTARE_HOME="/aptare_vol"

# Exit codes that VCS understands
E_APTARE_IS_ONLINE=110
E_APTARE_IS_OFFLINE=100
E_APTARE_IS_UNKNOWN=99

SCRIPT="${APTARE_HOME}/mbs/bin/aptare_agent"

if [ ! -f ${SCRIPT} ]; then
    exit $E_APTARE_IS_OFFLINE
fi

${SCRIPT} status | grep 'WatchDog is running' >/dev/null 2>&1
ret=$?
if [ "$ret" -eq "0" ]; then
   exit $E_APTARE_IS_ONLINE
else
   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep -v grep |  grep -i aptare | 
   grep UpgradeManager  > /dev/null 2>&1
   upgrademanager_running=$?
   if [ "${upgrademanager_running}" -eq "0" ]; then
      exit $E_APTARE_IS_UNKNOWN
   fi
   exit $E_APTARE_IS_OFFLINE
fi
