New operational notes for NetBackup Appliance 4.1

This topic describes the known issues for this release. Some of the issues that appear here may also apply to previous releases because some issues may have been discovered after the previous release became available.

  • Fibre Channel HBA initiator ports do not appear in Show command output

    When you run the Main > Manage > FibreChannel > Show command, the output may not always show all of the remote initiator ports, especially with regard to AIX initiator ports. It is possible to run the command at another time and see the expected result that includes the remote initiator ports. This issue does not affect FC functionality.

  • Fibre Channel HBA ports do not immediately appear after configuration

    After you have configured an FC HBA port for FTMS target or MSDP target, the port status may not change from Unknown to Online for up to one hour depending on the zone status. The more zones that the target port shares increases the amount of time the process needs to update the port status. Do not start any SAN Client jobs until the status of the affected ports changes to Online.

  • FIbre Channel HBA scan may hang

    When you run the Main > Manage > FibreChannel > Scan command, the process may hang if an HBA port is not responsive to the IO operation. To workaround this issue, reboot the appliance from the IPMI console as follows: Remote Control > Server Power Control > Reset server. If the issue persists after the reboot, contact Veritas Support for assistance to arrange for an HBA card replacement.

  • Customized STIG login banner is not retained after upgrade on STIG-enabled appliances

    If STIG is enabled and you have customized the login banner prior to an upgrade, the login banner is reset to the default STIG login banner after the upgrade. To resolve this issue, you must reconfigure the customized STIG login banner manually.

  • Simultaneous reboot of HA nodes keeps MSDP and Instant Access services offline

    If you reboot both HA nodes simultaneously, the timing of the reboot process on each node may cause a conflict when the processes attempt to bring up the appropriate services. The result may cause the MSDP and Instant Access services to remain offline. Other issues, such as startup processes hanging, may also occur. To resolve this issue, log in to the appliance shell menu and run the following command: Main > HighAvailability > Autofix

  • Failed Instant Access (IA) workload when ECA is enabled on NetBackup Appliance and not on NetBackup

    An IA workload fails while attempting to access NGINX on an MSDP server, if ECA is enabled on NetBackup Appliance and not on NetBackup. To resolve this issue re-import the ECA certificates on the appliance using the Settings > Security > Certificate > Import command. The Import command registers and enables the same ECA on NetBackup and NetBackup Appliance layers.
