Adding a NetBackup primary server
Use the following procedure to add a NetBackup primary server or a NetBackup Appliance primary server to the OpsCenter console. This procedure can be used for both NBAC and non-NBAC servers.
In case of a clustered NetBackup setup, use this procedure for each node of the cluster.
To add a NetBackup primary server or appliance primary server to the OpsCenter console on Windows and UNIX
- Log on to the managed primary server or NetBackup Appliance primary server as Administrator or root for Windows and UNIX respectively.
- Browse to the following NetBackup installation directory:
Windows
INSTALL_PATH/bin/admincmd
UNIX
INSTALL_PATH/bin/admincmd
- Run the following command on the primary server or the appliance primary server:
nbregopsc -add <Name of the OpsCenter Server>
The nbregopsc command registers OpsCenter with the current primary server and adds this primary server to OpsCenter. This command also establishes a trust relationship from the authentication broker of NetBackup primary server to the authentication broker of OpsCenter server.
- If OpsCenter is of an earlier version and the primary server is NBAC-enabled, a trust relationship must be established from the authentication broker of the OpsCenter server to the authentication broker (AB) of the NetBackup primary server. OpsCenter cannot monitor NetBackup servers if the trust relationship has not been set up between OpsCenter and NetBackup server.
To establish the trust relationship, log on as Administrator or root on the OpsCenter server host and navigate to the following OpsCenter installation directory:
Windows
INSTALL_PATH\server\authbroker\bin
UNIX
INSTALL_PATH/SYMC/Opscenter/Server/authbroker/bin
On the OpsCenter server host, run the following command depending on your specific primary server version:
7.0 and 7.0.1 primary server
vssat setuptrust --broker <PrimaryServerhost:2821> --securitylevel high
7.1 or later primary server or appliance primary server
vssat setuptrust --broker <PrimaryServerhost:13783> --securitylevel high
7.6 or later primary server or appliance primary server
vssat setuptrust --broker <PrimaryServerhost:2821> --securitylevel high
This is an optional step for OpsCenter 7.6 and later versions.
Note that <PrimaryServerhost> is the name of the primary server.
- Restart all the NetBackup services (processes).
In case you add an appliance 2.0 primary server, check if OpsCenter can connect to the appliance primary server. Restart all appliance services or processes only if OpsCenter cannot connect to the Appliance primary server.
Note:
In case running the nbregopsc command fails, you must manually add the primary server or the appliance primary server to the OpsCenter console.
See Adding a primary server or an appliance primary server in the OpsCenter console.
- Once you perform this procedure, the primary server is automatically added to the OpsCenter console.
