    How to install/upgrade Netbackup Client on Solaris - VOX

    This procedure uses Solaris as an example. It also works for other UNIX platforms. Simply substitute the appropriate operating system in place of Solaris in the procedure below.
     
    1. From the UNIX VERITAS NetBackup (tm) master, do an FTP client install to a Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8 client that will allow FTP. To avoid modifying that client, do not run
    /bin/sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config
    on that client. That client is only temporarily being used to create a tar file containing the NetBackup client    software.
     
    1. For the install_client_files to work, the <clientname> this is running to must have a entry in a policy.
     
      /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ftp clientname username
     
      Substitute the name of the client in place of "clientname" and substitute a valid username on the client in place of "username."
     
    2. Login to that client and make a tar file of the Solaris client software. This tar file can be used to install NetBackup on any Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8 client. To avoid repeating Steps 1 and 2 the next time this type of install is done, save a copy of this tar file for future use.
     
      cd /tmp
        tar cvpf solarisclient.tar bp
     
    3. Copy the tar file to /tmp/ on the client on which NetBackup is to be installed, using Secure Copy (SCP) or another allowed method.
     
        scp solarisclient.tar clientname:/tmp/
     
    4. Login to the client on which NetBackup is to be installed, using SSH or another allowed method. Become root using 'su' extract the tar archive and then install NetBackup by doing the following on the client:
     
      cd /tmp
        tar xvpf solarisclient.tar
        /bin/sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config
     
    5. Verify that the new client has the correct CLIENT_NAME entry in  /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf. Edit the bp.conf file if necessary.
     
    Repeat steps 3 - 5 for all Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8 clients that need NetBackup client software installed using this procedure.

    What version of Solaris is the client running ?

    What version of Netbackup are you running ?
