Description

Error Message

Starting Symantec Backup Exec Remote Agent ...... FAILED

 

Cause

One possible cause is that a library file needed to start beremote is missing.

To check for this from the Linux console run beremote in debug mode form the /opt/VRTSralus/bin.

./beremote --log-console (Figure 1)

Figure 1
 
     

This error indicates that  libstdc++.so.5 is missing in the /usr/lib directory.  Without this required library file RALUS is unable to start. 

 

Resolution

To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Run the command uname -a to find the processor architecture. ( Figure 2 )

Figure 2
 

2. Depending on the Processor type, look for the Compatibility C++ library rpm packages. For example, 32bit compatible file would read as compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-63.i386.rpm.  64bit will read as compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64.rpm.  A good way to find these files is to perform a Google search on the filenames themselves (e.g. compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64.rpm.)

Note: On the rpm.pbone.net site, the easiest way to find the correct download for RHEL 5.3 is to go to the  http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 site, choose "Search", and then search for compat-li  tdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64.rpm. The second listing for the "Other" distribution (filesize 232934) has been seen to work for RHEL 5.3

3. Once downloading the rpm packages on the RHEL 4 system, run the command:

   rpm -Uvh rpm pkg name (where rpm pkg name would be compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.x86_64.rpm)  ( Figure 3 )

Figure 3
 

4. After successful installation of compat-libstdc++  rpm packages , reinstall the RALUS agent for BEWS.
