Java in NetBackup

Is there anyway we can get information on the embedded java versions that the software uses? Is the embedded java needed if we are not using the GUI or are there other processes that run off the java...

    1. To determine Java version, run the java -version command.  On UNIX/Linux, it would be:

    # /usr/openv/java/jre/bin/java -version
    java version "1.6.0_45"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

    In the example above, I ran the command on a server running NetBackup 7.5.0.6.

    On a Windows system, the command would be something like <install_path>\VERITAS\Java\jre\bin\java -version (<install_path> might be C:\Program Files or it might be something else) and you'd need to run it from a cmd command window.

    2. If you are not using the GUI, you do not need the embedded Java, no.
