Description

During an upgrade to 2.7.x or later, if a canceled replication operation is restarted right after the checkpoint is created, the upgrade fails and the system rolls back automatically. After rollback, you can not start a backup because the media server is no longer active.

To ensure a successful backup, use the following steps to activate the media server manually:

  1. Log on to the NetBackup Administration Console as administrator.

  2. On the left panel, navigate to Media and Device Management > Devices > Media Servers .

  3. On the right panel, right-click the media server you need and select activate from the shortcut menu.
