Change NBU Client Path on Linux

  Hi,   I  have installed NBU Client 7.7.1 on a Redhat machine. Is it possible to change the installation path from /usr/openv/... to another? please advise.

    Yes, you can stop NetBackup and move /usr/openv to another filesystem, say for example /opt/openv/

    Then you can create a symbolic link from /usr/openv to /usr/opt and restart.

    ln -s /opt/openv /usr/openv

    This will work and I have done it numerous times without any issues.

    You MUST have a /usr/openv though, NetBackup always needs this whether it's the actual directory install or a symbolic link to the actual directory where NetBackup is installed.
