Environment

Veritas Backup Exec 8.x for Windows NT and Windows 2000

Situation

BackupExec_ServiceDown Knowledge Script cannot find the Naming Service.

Resolution

1.  Check out the knowledge script

2.  Save the knowledge script as BackupExec_ServiceDownV8.qml

3.  Edit the knowledge script by commenting out the following by putting a single quote in front of each line ( ' ):

If BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC <> "" Then

Chksrv BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC, "BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC = " & BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC

End if

Should look like this after commenting it out.  Please add a comment as to WHY the portion of code has been commented out.

'This service is non-existent in Backup Exec version 8.x.  Therefore, it is unnecessary to check for its status.

'If BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC <> "" Then

'Chksrv BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC, "BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC = " & BKUPEXEC_NAMINGSVC

'End if

4.  Save the new knowledge script

5.  Check-in the new Knowledge Script

Cause

The Naming Service was removed from Backup Exec version 8.x, hence the knowledge sript will not be able to detect that the service exists.
