NetBackup Web UI Vault Administrator's Guide

Logs to accompany problem reports

To troubleshoot problems, Cohesity Customer Service requires a set of log files that NetBackup and Vault produces.

In most circumstances, you must provide log files from the following NetBackup processes:

  • admin (on the master server); administrative commands process

  • bpcd (on the primary server); NetBackup client daemon manager

  • bpsched (on the primary server); NetBackup backup scheduler

  • bptm (on the media server); NetBackup tape manager

  • nbvault (on the primary server); Vault Manager service or daemon

  • vault (on the primary server); Vault commands

Session log files also are useful for troubleshooting problems, and you should include the appropriate session log files with problem reports you send to Cohesity.

If you use the vlteject command or the Vault Operator Menu (vltopmenu) to perform consolidated ejects and reports, the following log file may also be useful:

  • UNIX

    /usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions/vlteject.mstr
  • Windows

    install_path\NetBackup\vault\sessions\vlteject.mstr

See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
