Setting up a detailed monitoring script for the NetBackup server on VCS on Windows

This topic describes how to set up detailed monitoring for a NetBackup server that is installed in a VCS for Windows environment. The script file must exist on all nodes in the service group's system list.

To set up a detailed monitoring script for the NetBackup server on VCS on Windows

Configure and run the NetBackup agent with the basic monitoring.
For each node in the NetBackup service group, create a backup policy that performs a user backup of the file install_path\bin\cluster\VCS\DetailedMonitor.txt.
install_path is the home directory of NetBackup.
For example, C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup
For example, if your NetBackup service group contains five nodes, you must create five different policies, each referencing a different node.
Make a copy of following file and edit it to fit your configuration.
```
install_path\bin\cluster\DetailedMonitor.bat
```
- Replace VIRTSRVR with the virtual server name for the NetBackup master or media server.
- Make any other edits necessary.
From the command line, type the following command to verify the script runs without errors:
```
DetailedMonitorProd
```
