HP Data Protector CRS Service Errors.

Can not start "crs" service, system error: [1053] 1053 Unknown Error Can not start "uiproxy" service, system error: [1053] 1053 Unknown Error.
Above error happens in Linux , if you miss glib packages. it is known issue with Data protector.

Crs account may not started due to one more reason:
If installation user account password changed it will not start .

PUBLIC & PRIVATE option in backup sepecfication.

If you want to give restore permission other than backup owner or owner group or any user.
we must select PUBLIC option in bakcup specification, this allows permitter user /admin group member to restore backup data.

HP Data Protector CRS Cell Request Service How it works

Hi

Who is the owner of backup ?

CRS (Cell Request Service ) is the owner for all backups in HP data protector. because CRS is the intiator for all backup specifications (Except Some of BAR applications )
Why we add DBA system user in backup admin group ?
Bacause this account acts as CRS for this accounts.

What happens if CRS account is changed and it is not update in Data protector user list ?
No backu will initiated :(

Wish You a Happy New Year

We can work around the IDB syncranation that depends how your IDB effected.

if it is filenames we can purge expired filenames by omnidubtil -purge -filenames -force.

if you want purge a specified server filenames please see the command usage example.
