Netbackup upgrade on Suse server
Hi,
i would upgrade NBU Client 7.6.1 to newer version, on a Linux Suse. I verified on server and these are information:
clnt01:{root}:~ $ cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12
PATCHLEVEL = 1
clnt01:{root}:~ $ uname -r
2.6.31665-amd-smp
I checked on https://sort.veritas.com/nbu_checkers/nbu_scl_checker for Suse 12 SP1 for NBU version support, and i think that NBU 7.7.3 and later are ok for upgrade, but when i try to install, this error appear:
ERROR: Detected an attempt to install incorrect platform and/or
operating system and version client binaries on clnt01.
Please someone can help me?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
try to copy the packages from /usr/openv/netbackup/client/<client OS> of the master server and
- copy all client binaries from server to a tar file
- move the tar to client and untar it to /tmp
- create a file named NBInstallAnswer.conf to the /tmp folder and add the folowing
SERVER = <master server name>
CLIENT_NAME = <client name>
MERGE_SERVERS_LIST=YES
CA_CERTIFICATE_FINGERPRINT = <master server's fingerprint>
AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN = SKIP
INCLUDE_JAVA_GUI_AND_JRE = MATCH - run the commands
rpm -U VRTSnbpck.rpm
rpm -U VRTSpbx.rpm
rpm -U VRTSnbclt.rpm
rpm -U VRTSnbjre.rpm
rpm -U VRTSnbjava.rpm
rpm -U VRTSpddea.rpm
rpm -U VRTSnbcfg.rpm
Hope that this will work.
Before that stop all netbackup services on the client and copy (tar) /usr/openv, just to have it in case you need to roll back.if this not work, schedule a downtime. Stop SAP, revert the admin's patch, install netbackup and re apply the patch.
Last option is to copy the /usr/openv from another client, change the bp.conf accordingly and redeploy the certificates
