    Can you email from the master server using mailx to the recipients? If not, you will need to get your Solaris Admins to configure sendmail.

    Hi Revaroo,I did went through this tech note before posting here in the Forum . However I relate this article more to Windows and not Unix (may be I am wrong)

    It would be helpful if you cut short & give me the exact step wise to implement the same . As this is Unix OS ,need your valuable inputs

    reachah, well 6.5 is not supported so I can't 'test' on that version. However, why do you not add the email address to the Disaster Recovery tab on the catalog policy ?

    I did as the 1st step i.e.,adding mail ids to the DR tab in the catalog policy & mentioned in my initial post as well

    "I am having a Slorais 5.9 running on NB 6.5 . Need to configure the Catalog backups - DR file to be mailed . I have already put the required mail id's in the NetBackup 'Catalog Policy'"

    However not much luck . This is the 1st time ,I am trying to configure in a Unix Platform machine hence as per my understanding 'BLAT.CMD' is ruled out as it's for WIN. Not sure if anywere I need to mention the SMTP address :(

    Pls assist with SUN Solaris version with NB6.5

    To add to revaroo's post:

    This is how I do it:

    Add the IP address of your Exchange/mail server in /etc/hosts:

    xxx.xx.xx.xx   hostname         mailhost

    Create /etc/resolv.conf
    nameserver xxx.xx.xx.xx
    domain your.domain

    Add 'dns' to the 'hosts' line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
    hosts:      files       dns

    You should now be able to use 'mailx' at O/S level.
    Once this is working, NBU notification will work as well.
