Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 21

How should an administrator troubleshoot why a NetBackup Appliance is unresponsive through the assigned IP address?

Answer options

• A. manually power cycle the appliance
• B. ssh to the appliance on eth0
• C. connect to the appliance with OpsCenter
• D. access the appliance console via the IPMI web interface

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because SSH access to the appliance allows for direct command line troubleshooting, which can help identify issues. Option A, power cycling the appliance, may not address underlying problems and can lead to data loss. Option C, connecting through OpsCenter, might not be possible if the appliance is unresponsive, and Option D, accessing via the IPMI web interface, is typically used for hardware-level management rather than troubleshooting network issues.
