 One folder located at D:\toplevel\2ndLevel, user with administrators privilege could not access it and got “You do not have permissions” warning at the security tap, as well as could not take the ownership.

The following steps might solve the issue:

1 START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | right-click on cmd.exe above under programs – select run as admin.
(Admin running as admin???)

2 Type
     net user administrator /active:yes
(UAC control need to be enabled again??)

3 Then
     takeown /f D:\toplevel\*.* /r /s /d y
     icacls file_name /grant administrators:F
(take ownership undeer D:|toplevel folder and including all files and subfolders)

4 Cut and paste the folder to diffrent location.
(backup)

5 Create the folder and copy everything back.
(re-apply the permisstions to the files and folders)

mkpasswd -l -u djianu >>..\etc\passwd

netbackup 7.0.0 puts 2 resources to the microsoft cluster

When netbackup client has issue it will sends an event error. for 6.4.5 Symantec hs KB-TECH50467 ( http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH50467)

Problem

When installing NetBackup 6.0 Maintenance Pack 4 (MP 4) on a standalone node in a Microsoft Cluster, the installation stops responding and Cluster Administrator can not be launched on any node
Solution

When installing Veritas NetBackup ™ 6.0 GA release, or any of the Maintenance Pack’s 1, 2 or 3, on a cluster node (NetBackup installed as a standalone application) a Cluster group and resource will be created for PBX (Private Branch Exchange – a NetBackup communication service).

When installing NetBackup 6.0 Maintenance Pack 4 (MP4) on a cluster node, where NetBackup has been installed as a standalone application,  the installation may hang on the final stage of the installation (for instance, the message “Removing backup files” will be displayed on the dialog box and the progress bar will not change).

In addition the Microsoft Cluster Administrator program can not be launched on any of the nodes in the cluster and the Microsoft Cluster Service may seem to stop responding. To clear the situation, a reboot may be needed for all cluster nodes.

After the reboot, the installation of MP4 will appear to have been installed correctly – it will appear in Add/Remove Programs but the integrity of the installation cannot be guaranteed since the installation hung.

This issue has only been seen on 64 bit Windows (x64) on Microsoft Cluster Server nodes.

Resolution:

To resolve this issue, perform the following:

1. When the installation stops responding, verify if Microsoft Cluster Administrator program can be launched on any node

2. If Cluster Administrator cannot be launched on any node, reboot all nodes in the cluster

3. After rebooting, open up “Add or Remove Programs” on the node where MP 4 installation hung (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs)

4. In the “Add or Remove Programs” dialog box, search for “VERITAS NetBackup 6.0 Maintenance Pack 4″ and choose Remove to uninstall the patch

5. After uninstallation of MP4 reboot the server

6. After reboot, open up Microsoft Cluster Administrator Program (Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Cluster Administrator)

7. In Cluster Administrator find and highlight the PBX cluster group for each node (named PBX-ClusterGroup-cluster_node_name)

8. Delete the PXB resource (named PBX-cluster_node_name) for the PBX cluster group (right click the resource and choose delete from shortcut menu, do this for each node’s PBX cluster group)

9. When the PBX resources have been deleted from each PBX cluster group, the PBX cluster groups can be deleted from Cluster Administrator.  Do this for each node as well.

10. Make sure the “Symantec Private Branch Exchange” service is set to Automatic start up mode (on a 32 bit system this service is called “VERITAS Private Branch Exchange)

After above steps have been followed, the installation of NetBackup 6.0 MP4 should run through successfully. The installation of MP4 will recreate the PBX cluster group, it can safely be deleted again.

NOTE 1:  The PBX cluster group and resource can safely be deleted because in the example above NetBackup is not installed as a cluster aware / fail over application but installed as a standalone application on each node and so the PBX cluster group is not needed.

NOTE 2:  This issue has not been seen for previous MP releases of NetBackup 6.0, it has only been known to occur with the installation of MP4
