<strong>NetBackup</strong> <strong>4.5</strong> <strong>Troubleshooting</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Windows</strong><br />

General Test and <strong>Troubleshooting</strong> Procedures<br />

3. Verify basic network connectivity between client and server by pinging from the<br />

server to the client and from the client to the server. Use the following command:<br />

ping hostname<br />

Where hostname is the name of the host as configured in:<br />

◆ <strong>NetBackup</strong> policy configuration<br />

◆ WINS<br />

◆ DNS (if applicable).<br />

◆ hosts file in the system directory:<br />

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (<strong>Windows</strong> NT/2000)<br />

C:\<strong>Windows</strong>\hosts (default on <strong>Windows</strong> 98 and 95)<br />

If ping succeeds in all instances, it verifies basic connectivity between the server and<br />

client.<br />

If ping fails, you have a network problem outside of <strong>NetBackup</strong> that must be<br />

resolved be<strong>for</strong>e proceeding. As a first step, verify the workstation is turned on, as this<br />

is a common source of connection problems with PC workstations.<br />

4. On Microsoft <strong>Windows</strong> or NetWare clients, check the <strong>NetBackup</strong> Client service:<br />

a. Ensure that the service is active, either by checking the logs (see step b) or as<br />

follows:<br />

◆ On <strong>Windows</strong> NT/2000 clients, use the Services application in the Control<br />

Panel to verify that the <strong>NetBackup</strong> Client service is running and start it if<br />

necessary.<br />

◆ On <strong>Windows</strong> 98 or 95 clients, check the system tray on the taskbar <strong>for</strong> the<br />

<strong>NetBackup</strong> client icon. If the icon is not there, run the <strong>NetBackup</strong> Client Job<br />

Tracker program from the <strong>NetBackup</strong> Program folder or the Start menu.<br />

When the icon is present, right-click on the icon to start the <strong>NetBackup</strong> client<br />

daemon.<br />

◆ On NetWare clients, enter load bpcd from the NetWare server console to<br />

start the <strong>NetBackup</strong> client daemon.<br />

b. Check the bpcd debug logs <strong>for</strong> problems or errors. See “Using the Logs and<br />

Reports” chapter <strong>for</strong> instructions on enabling and using these logs.<br />

c. Verify that the same <strong>NetBackup</strong> client Service (bpcd) port number is specified on<br />

both the <strong>NetBackup</strong> client and server (by default, 13782).<br />
