Hi,
kindly i want your help to add new clients to take its backup .. would you please provide me with all steps and knoledge that must exist and valid to do that
and what are software we must install on client and master or media server to do this task as it was first time to do that
master server data:
Symantic Product Name: Symantec Netbackup
Product Version: 7.0.1
Operating System: HP-UX 11iv3
Repeating the same question after one month?
Which OS on the new clients?
There is no additional software to be installed on the master or media server.
Just install Client software on the new clients - Andy has provided you with the link to the Installation Guide : https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/add-new-client-netbackup-701#comment-7530481
You need to ensure forward and reverse name lookup at OS level between client(s) and server(s) to ensure successful communication.
Once software is installed and you have verified comms, create backup policy for new client(s). Instructions in NBU Admin Guide I.
also how to make sure that the os of server which is redhat 5.6
I battle to understand your last question...
Do you need to know if the Client OS is supported with NBU?
Or how to double-check exact OS version on client?
To check NBU compatility, see: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76648
To verify OS version on client:
# cat /etc/redhat-release
To verify that client is 64-bit:
# uname -a
If I misunderstood, please tell us more about your requirement?
Yes, you can, but you need to verify that Linux Client software is installed on your master.
By default, only Client software for master's own OS version is installed (HP-UX in your case).
To check, go to /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux folder on your master server.
List contents and find the folder that corresponds with your client's OS, e.g. RedHat2.6 or RedHat2.6.18.
Check contents of this folder. If it is empty, it means that the client software is not installed on the master.
If you see files in this folder, check the contents of 'version'.
For example on my 7.5 master server, I see the following in version file under RedHat2.6.18 folder:
Adding a UNIX client after initial server installation
Adding to Marianne, rsh server must be installed and enabled on the clients. Rsh server package is not installed on RHEL by default.
rsh access from master server must be permitted as well.
ssh will probably a better option.
See 'Installing client software with the ssh method' in Installation Guide.
i went to /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux folder on master server.
List contents and find the folder that corresponds with your client's OS, but what i found is old versions
i found RedHat 2.4 & 2.6 but i want to install RH 5.6 release .
so how to install it on the master ?
The kernel version of Redhat 5.x is 2.6.
If you look at the 'Client Selections for Backup Policies' table in the NBU 7 OS Compatibility Guide, you will see under the NetBackup 7.0 column that the choice for RHEL 4, 5 and 6 is Linux,RedHat2.6.
See uname -a output on our in-house lab server:
If so, check contents of version file. (See my previous post)
If no files, or if version is old, you need to install Linux Client software from your NetBackup Installation media. See my previous post - HOWTO instructions can be found in the Installation Guide.
