Normal error messages when upgrading clustered servers

When you upgrade clustered NetBackup servers, you may encounter Windows Event Log messages that indicate that the service NetBackup Scale-Out Relational Database Manager failed to start. These messages are generated in a short period of time - normally a window of two to three seconds. These messages coincide with the cluster configuration portion of the upgrade. You should expect these messages and know that they do not reflect a problem with the upgrade.
