How to know the install location of Netbackup Software on Linux
Hello All,
How to know the exact install location of Netbackup software on linux box? Does it get stored somewhere a System wide location on Linux?
In windows we have registry key which tells us about install location for NBU.
Thanks,
Omkar
Netbackup on Linux default to /usr/openv as installation path.
If you are unsure of the installation path you can do a global search of bp.conf or you can query for installed packages. However there are difftent package manager across Linux distros.
This example is taken from a Red Hat installation.
rpm -qa | grep SYMCnbcl
Returns "SYMCnbclt-7.6.1.1-1" - we know Netbackup is installed.
Then
rpm -ql SYMCnbclt-7.6.1.1-1 | head
Returns the follwing:
/usr/openv/lib
/usr/openv/lib/.vxms.rcNetbackup is installed in /usr/openv
If you do not install it into /usr/openv (the default location) then a sym link is ALWAYS created.
So run: ls -ld /usr/openv
This will tell you if it's linked to an alternate location or not. Here's my example
ls -ld /usr/openv
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 26 15:58 /usr/openv -> /software/openv/This shows I have installed NetBackup into /software and I have symbolic link of /usr/openv pointing to /software/openv.
If you see no "->" followed by another directory, then it is simply installed into /usr/openv
