Java update for Netbackup 7.1

Hello,

I'm hardening my servers and the java used buy NetBackup 7.1 is out of date. Can someone please tell me how I can update the java version.

I called the helpdesk but all they don't seem to get it. They gave me this link http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH181132. This webpage has some patches that will take my servers and clients from 7.1.0.2  to 7.1.0.4. The webpage doen't say if it updates the java NetBackup uses.

Current java level of Java in NetBackup 1.6.0_26

Current level Oracle Java is updated to 1.6.0_33

To check the java version NetBackup uses you do this. (example on a Solaris 10)
find / -name java -type f
/opt/openv/java/jre/amd64/java
/opt/openv/java/jre/java

Then do this
/opt/openv/java/jre/java -version
Java version "1.6.0_26"

I need the out put to say Java version "1.6.0_33"

I have the following in my NetBackup 7.1 envirement
Master server Solaris 10
media server Solaris 10
media server Windows 2008
media server Linux 2.6.16

So if someone knows if the patch updates java please let me know. Or if you have already installed the patch and are at 7.1.0.4. Can you run the commands above and tell me if the update, updated java?

thanks

 

  • Hi ninja,

    These instructions are a bit old but should still work:

    Java Runtime Environment (JRE) certification update for NetBackup 7.0 or higher
     http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH148257

    (if they don't, let me know and I'll see if we have anything more recent)
