Just looking at the face of it, it has nothing to do with the installation.
By default, you will see only BAR window
on the Master server navigate to the directory
%install path%/openv/java which is usually /usr/openv/java
there should be a file called auth.conf
if your userid by which your are logging on to the java console is bkpadmin do the following
echo "bkpadmin ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL" >> /usr/openv/java/auth.conf
Let me know, if this fixed.
Cheers!

Hi Manoj,
As you mentioned i can see the entries in auth.conf and right now i am trying with root.
root ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL
* ADMIN=JBP JBP=ENDUSER+BU+ARC
And When i run this command i cannot see the bprd and bprdm services
#ps -ef |grep netbackup
root 9767 1 0 13:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbnos
root 9786 1 0 13:46 ? 00:00:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcompatd
root 9805 1 0 13:46 ? 00:00:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsl
root 9813 1 0 13:46 ? 00:00:00 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsvcmon
root 9943 3559 0 13:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep netbackup
But the installation shows it was successful.
Can you stop all the services?
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all FORCEKILL
and make sure that nothing shows up when you do /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a
now lets restart the services
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
Cheers!

thanks Manoj it works now. I am new to NEtbackup and can i install Disk media devices to take backup's?
I installed Netbackup in Linux (media services+master services) and client on WINDOWS and now we need to add a new Storage device (HDD) to Media servers for backups If you can help me with this that would be great.
Are you all set with the admin console?
Describe me in detail about your environment, we will try and get the DSTU's working.
Cheers!

HI Manoj,
I am done with this Admin console but i dont have any tapes i want to add disk for backup's mostly the external HDD or USB HDD's.
I am not sure what kind of filesystem is your box setup with
If its vxfs create a new volume and mount it to something like /teststorageunit or if its ufs create a new folder /teststorageunit
Now create a new disk storage unit and use it in the policy.
Cheers!

Hey manoj,
we had an EXT3 partition and Reiser partions do i need to add a new drive with VXfs partition?
I suggest you create a new volume, if you have provision to do that.
But, since you want to test, we can create a folder /teststunit using mkdir /teststunit.
Now, we can create a basic disk storage unit using the following command
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstuadd -label testdisk1 -host <hostname of media server> -path /teststunit
You can now view the newly create the storage unit as follows
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstulist -U
Use this storage unit in a policy to test your backups.
Note: we create the storage unit at the "/" filesystem which is usually the root filesystem, do not backup large data as it might cause the root filesystem to fill up and create problems including system panic
Test backing up a small file such as /etc/hosts or /etc/nsswitch.conf, you can mention these in the backup selection list of the policy.
Cheers!
