oracle 11.4 w/acsls or infoscale - not working

So - when you update an older Solaris system, the ucb libraries are there. But a new install will not include them.

You have to tar up the ucb tree structure from an old one and restore it to the new system after patching/installation.

At this time Veritas writing to a robot using acsls does NOT work with new installs of 11.4

It is not that the acsls does not work, but oracle has been saying they will be removing these directories for a while and finally did it.

Offically, this is not an approved solution, but unofficially it is the only workaround until Veritas recompiles with corrected libraries. That likely will take a new verison, so 8.2? 

NBU – Support for 11.4 is not currently listed on the compatibility list

• We are waiting on confirmation from the product management team at Veritas to confirm support for 11.4 on NetBackup
• The  Infoscale patch for solaris 11.4 is set for release on 1/29/19.

Problem

Unable to install NetBackup 8.1.x and earlier client on Solaris 11 update 4 OS

Error Message

./cp_to_client: line 2471: pkginfo: not found

Install trace file:

pkginfo -q VRTSpbx.*
./installpbx[581]: pkginfo: not found [No such file or directory]

ERROR: The supplied package tarball is not of appropriate version/architecture for this machine

Cause

Found that in 11.4 pkginfo, pkgadd, pkgrm commands are not available

It appears the default installation of Solaris 11 update 4 does not include pkginfo/pkgadd/pkgrm

Those OS packages are needed to install NetBackup versions 8.1.x.x and earlier since the NetBackup installation scripts use those native OS packaging commands.

Solution

Install additional Solaris 11u4 operating system packages that contain the native packaging commands: pkginfo, pkgadd, pkgrm.
