Re: [Veritas-bu] Policy Time Grapher
Does anyone have any gotchas with running NOM on a separate server from NBU itself? I thought I'd read that it's doable, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. When I tested it, it was quite contrary to come up at times, causing NBU to be down. But it might have been the aged hardware used.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Policy Time Grapher
It depends, are you using NBAC and VxSS or not? If you are you'll have to create trust relationships, and screw with the hell that is NBAC and VxSS. If your not, all you have to do is add the NOM server to the trusted server list on each master to enable NOM to collect data from the server. I'm running NOM on my master server, and after realizing that I didn't *need* to configure NBAC and VxSS on the master, it was much easier to configure and setup NOM. I don't think the NOM documentation is very clear and concise. You said tht it was acting funny, what OS are you running it on? I'm running my on a Solaris 10, SunFire v240. And it seems that Netbackup 6 NOM has some issues with certain versions of libc.so.1 If your running Solaris 10 do: /usr/ccs/bin/what /lib/libc.so.1 Mine says: SunOS 5.10 Generic 118833-18 Jun 2006 I had an older version than that before, and was getting libc thread failures when I was trying to get NOM to start. -- Mike Sponsler Northrop Grumman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Brooks, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 10:10 AM To: Sponsler, Michael; Fredrik Dahlberg; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Policy Time Grapher Does anyone have any gotchas with running NOM on a separate server from NBU itself?
