also getiing following now on media server

EMM interface initialization failed, status = 333
 on running vmoprcmd , tpautoconf -t , tpconfig -d

is this a new install or has this suddenly happened?

If suddenly then try rebooting the Master for a clean startup.

It tends to indicate a loop back error so also check the hosts file, it should have its own loop back addres:

127.0.0.1 localhost

It has come suddenly and

127.0.0.1 localhost

entry is already there , is there any other solution to it except reboot ?

please suggest

Either reboot or work through this - it is a useful thread:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/troubleshooting-emm-error-196

If master server hostname is "asprod11" (output from uname -a), and media server hostname is "astst09" , then where does master.nbu.com and server.nbu.com fit into the picture?

Please post bp.conf entries on master and media servers as well as output of 'nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose' on the master.

You seem to have multiple NICs in the servers? bpclntcmd -pn shows 'astst09-bkup'.

Please double-check /etc/hosts entries as well as /etc/hostname.* entries plus 'ifconfig -a' output on master and media server to see if anything has changed.

This all looks a little confusing - it may be a FQDN issue or, reading betweem the lines, it may just be that the Media Server is not listed as a Server and Media Server in the Master Servers host properties - or correctly registered with EMM.

Check your hosts files and try and get everything neat and tidy so that both Master and Media are know to themselves and each other by their FDQN and short name, that the Media Server is properly registered with EMM (probably wont be able to do this until the Master is sorted out) and then restart the daemons on both.

This may have been caused by something as simple as a DNS change?

Hope this helps

sorry for the mess up made by me above.. required details are below

we found the folloing in the BPbkar logs . Please  mention what is location of emm.conf file.

backup is some time failing with EC 47 after writing some data . some times fails with EC 37 with out writing any thing.

Hi

Still a little confused but that error may relate to one that was fixed in 6.5.6:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH66236

Looking at your outputs most of your listed servers are at 6.5.6 but these are below that level:

gaalpa1msgusr7a.ugd.att.com
gaalpa1msgusr7c.ugd.att.com
gaalpa1msgusr7e.ugd.att.com
gaalpa1egisxaa1.itservices.sbc.com
gaalpa1egifil01.itservices.sbc.com
asp9004a.aldc.att.com
asprd172.aldc.att.com
aspc0017.aldc.att.com
aspc0018.aldc.att.com

asprd469-ebr.aldc.att.com
asprd470-ebr.aldc.att.com
p1xan1d1-ebr.vci.att.com

Your original Corba Error may relate to this one:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH150396

You can increase the Corba Logging using this tech note:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH54432

Lots to go at here but it does look like you may have more than just one issue

Hope this helps

You said "backup is some time failing with EC 47 after writing some data".
This sounds like EMM issue have gone, and EMM can respond to daemons like nbpem, nbrb and so on.
Is this right?

Have you already checked whether disk full condition was occured? When disk usage reaches 98% or so, EMM become stopped.

found following in BPTM logs

07:36:30.972 [10642] <16> emmlib_initializeEx: (-) Exception! CORBA::NO_PERMISSION
07:36:30.972 [10642] <16> bptm: (-) Translating EMM_ERROR_Authorization_Denied(3000007) to 118 in the NetBackup context

07:36:30.973 [10642] <2> bptm: error(196) initializing EMM interface.
 

Again you have Corba errors in this - although 196 just means it has missed its backup window, presumably as it had failed previosuly and this was a re-try?
