Media server verification points for Windows
The following topics describe the media server verification procedures for Windows:
Verify the media server.
Verify that the server has access to the authorization database.
Unable to load library message
The following table describes the media server verification procedures for Windows.
Table: Media server verification procedures for Windows
Procedure | Description |
---|---|
Verify the media server | To determine which authentication broker the media server is authenticated against, run bpnbat -whoami with -cf for the media server's credential file. The server credentials are located in the For example: bpnbat -whoami -cf "c:\Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\var\vxss\credentials\ win_media.company.com" Name: win_media.company.com Domain: NBU_Machines@win_master.company.com Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@win_master.company.com/ O=vx Expiry Date: Oct 31 20:11:40 2007 GMT Authentication method: Veritas Private Security Operation completed successfully. If the domain listed is not NBU_Machines@win_master.company.com, consider running bpnbat -addmachine for the name in question (win_media). This command is run on the computer with the authentication broker that serves the NBU_Machines domain (win_master). Then, on the computer where we want to place the certificate (win_media), run: bpnbat -loginmachine |
Verify that the server has access to the authorization database | To make sure that the media server is able to access the authorization database as it needs, run bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile "machine_credential_file" For example: bpnbaz -ListGroups -CredFile "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\vxss\credentials\ win_media.company.com" NBU_Operator NBU_Admin NBU_SAN Admin NBU_User NBU_Security Admin Vault_Operator Operation completed successfully. If this command fails, run bpnbaz -AllowAuthorization on the master server that is the authorization server (win_master.company.com). |
Unable to load library message | Verify the media server and that it has access to the proper database. This verification indirectly informs you that the NetBackup Authentication and Authorization client libraries for both authentication and authorization are properly installed. If either of these procedures fail with a message "unable to load libraries": Check to make certain the authentication client libraries and authorization client libraries are installed. You may also verify that the authentication domains are correct by viewing the access control host properties for this media server. |
