NetBackup status code: 8420

Message: Error in fetching the ConfigMap <ConfigMap-name> in the namespace <namespace-name> for the MediaServer <MediaServer -name>.

Explanation: There is an error in retrieving an existing MediaServer configmap or the configmap does not exist on the cluster. A clean-up from a previous uninstallation of NetBackup deployment was not done properly.

Recommended Action: Perform the following as appropriate:

  • Check the NetBackup operator logs for details using the following command:

    kubectl logs <netbackup-operator-pod-name> netbackup-operator -n <netbackup-operator-namespace>

  • Verify that RBAC permissions are correct. Refer to the NetBackup Deployment on Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) Administrator's Guide.

  • Check if configmap is available in the given namespace using the following command:

    kubectl get configmap <configmap-name> -n <namespace>

  • Check the Kubernetes documentation for configmap details: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/
