Known Issues:
- Domain is OpsCenterusers@domain not NOMBuiltin@domain ; that is an error in the documentation. The userid and password are admin and password
- Master server version reports NetBackup 3.4 incorrectly
- After Windows Reboot, OpsCenter fails to start. Fix is to Restart the Authentication Service then start the OpsCenter Services.
- Pop-Up Blocker prevents the OpsCenter interface from initializing. Turn off Pop-Up blocker to run OpsCenter.
- On 64 bit windows systems, OpsCenter install or upgrade might fail. Install “VC2005 x86″ from the DVD (<DVD Drive>\x86\Server\Prerequisites\vcredist_x86.exe)
- If OpsCenter installation failed due to any reason, the roolback and cleanup may not happen correctly in some scenarios. The fix is to execute the command “ SC DELETE OPSCENTERSERVER”
- The Windows/Solaris installation will fail if the OpsCenter host is not part of any domain name. (host is not qualified with a suffix such as “min.veritas.com”) Workaround: The solution is to add a domain suffix and then re-install
- Drive throughput and Drive utilization reports don’t work in some scenarios
- Creation of a custom report doesn’t work if user chooses Absolute timeframe option
- Deduplication reports (Size factor, Protected Size vs. Backed up Size, Size Savings reports) don’t work in a PDDE environment. They only work in a standalone PureDisk environment.

Dear Sir/Mdm,
We use netbackup server version 7,we have some issue about the backup which is always failed with error message no media available.But if we expired (with bpexpire command) manually the backup succed.
We want to ask,is it possible to schedule image clean up in netbackup 7 in netbackup administration console? if is it possible could you give us step by step procedure?
We figure it out to use dos command batch file to expire the media but i think that is not the answer because we believe the netbackup capable to do it,but we don’t have the clue to configure it.
Hearing from you soon.Thank’s in advance.
