How can I reinstall just the java/jre packages for NB 8.3.0.2?

Hello,

While performing a mass removal of NB java and jre packages on Linux NB clients, they were inadvertently removed for a NB primary server. I'm wondering if there is a way to extract these from the install tar file, and just re-install the 2 packages on the primary server. I would have thought that only access to java gui would be affected, but it looks like the catalog backup is also failing.

Thanks

    I'm not sure if this helps.
    I can't see why your catalog backup is failing. I don't see any connection with Java, and the failed backups might just be a coincidence.

    • Navigate to the directory:
      cd /usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/
    • Change to the equivalent directory for your master client's operating system, and copy the missing binaries to a temp directory. 
      If the binaries are symbolic links, ensure you copy the actual files they point to.
    • Use the following command to install the binaries:
      rpm -U <binary-file-name>

      Thanks! That worked. I'm not sure if the catalog backup was failing because the Java and Jre packages were removed on the master while NB daemons were running. It was failing with error 144 (unable to create the DR package: invalid command usage), which we write to an NFS mount). Media servers were also offline. After finding the RPM files, I was able to re-install them, and looks good now.

    I believe you should be able to remove and add java for Netbackup,follow below and check if you are able to get it installed .you can try on one clients (same OS as your Master) and if worked , you can try on your master server.

    BTW your netbackup version is out of support ,you need to upgrade it a version which falls under support.

      Hi Kiyan

      You cannot remove java from the master as this is used by at least the Web Management services.

      Cheers
