Install a linux client - step by step

STATUS CODE: 58, 25 connection errors occur when trying to backup a Linux client or view the client properties
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287346.htm

Overview:
The NetBackup services are registered with xinetd on Linux clients. If the xinetd option only_from = <host_name> is set, it will prevent the system from accepting connections from any system but the host name listed.

This will cause NetBackup to fail with a Status 58 (can't connect to client) when a backup of the system is performed. This can also cause a Status 25 (cannot connect on socket) to appear when trying to configure the host properties for the system.

Troubleshooting:
On the Linux machine causing the error, check the xinetd.conf file to see what options are used for all registered xinetd services. The following example shows that the client will only accept connections from localhost.
# cat /etc/xinetd.conf
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
only_from = localhost
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d


Log Files: N/A


Resolution:
It will be necessary to remove any only_from = <host_name> entries from the xinetd.conf file. The NetBackup daemons may need to receive connections from multiple systems during normal operations. This option will prevent connections from other systems and does not exist by default in the xinetd.conf file.

1. Edit the /etc/xinetd.conf file and comment out or remove the only_from = <host_name> line(s). Save changes.
2. Then, restart the xinetd daemon for the changes to take effect.
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
3. Retry the connection to the Linux client.

 You need the clients2 cd to install clients for suse linux. ftp the software to the client, and extract it. Then run the install script from the folder created by extraction.

I am hoping You do have the CDs/DVDs for this OS!!

either on CD/DVD or over your network, then installation should be as simple as cd'ing into that location & running the install script.

From the NetBackup Installation Guide UNIX & Linux Release 6.5 (page 89) :
"...
Installing UNIX clients locally
The following procedure installs the NetBackup client software on a local machine.
To install client software locally on a UNIX client

1 Insert the NetBackup client CD into the drive on the client computer and mount it. For instructions on how to mount the CD on your operating system, refer to the appropriate section of “Mounting the software media” on page 21. For information on CD contents and exact names, refer to “Contents of the NetBackup media kit” on page 10.

2 Change your working directory to the CD directory if you have a CD, or to the directory that contains the downloaded files:
cd /cd_mount_point
The cd_mount_point is the path to the directory where you can access the CD.
For Macintosh OS X 10.3.x systems only: You can access the CD from the following location:
cd /volumes/cd name

3 Enter the following command to execute the installation script:
./install
The client binaries represent the operating system versions where the binaries were compiled. Often, the binaries function perfectly on later versions of the operating system. For example, Solaris 9 binaries also are used on the Solaris 10 level of the operating system. The installation procedure attempts to load the appropriate binaries for your system. If the script does not recognize the local operating system, it presents choices.

4 Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

5 After the installation is complete, unmount the client CD.

but where are the steps for a Linux client installation??
I have all Netbackup documents but don't help me now. I don's have time to read hundreds of pages.



So I understand a step by step support for a intallation:

1 Log on to the system where you want to install NetBackup Client. Be sure to log on with administrator privileges.

2 Start Launch.exe in the source “Setup files” directory.

3 On the initial browser screen
Click > NetBackup Installation, and on the following screen, select Install Client Software.

4 On the Welcome screen:
click >Next.

5 On the License Agreement screen, accept the license agreement:
click >Next.

6 On the Select where you want to install Veritas NetBackup screen, select Install to this computer only, perform Typical installation
click >Next

7 On the NetBackup System Names screen, to the Master Server Name enter “myserver.net” ,
Uncheck Install LiveUpdate Server
click >Next

8 On the Ready to Install the Program screen,
click >Install

9 After you click Install, the installation process begins and a screen appears that shows you the progress of the installation. This process may take several minutes.

10 click >Finish




and something like this I need, but for Unix client. What I must write?

I don't have CD\DVD with setup, just a Network path where are the setup files.
Pls help me.

follow steps 2 to 4

Can you more explicitly to be, Andy? pls.

but more explicitly, run as follows.

(insert CD)
# mkdir /cdrom
# mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom
# /cdrom/install
(Enter Master Server Name)
(Enter This Client Name)
(Installation Completed)
# umount /cdrom
# rmdir /cdrom
