Hi,
I have installed NBU Client 7.7.1 on a Redhat machine.
Is it possible to change the installation path from /usr/openv/... to another?
please advise.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, you can stop NetBackup and move /usr/openv to another filesystem, say for example /opt/openv/
Then you can create a symbolic link from /usr/openv to /usr/opt and restart.
ln -s /opt/openv /usr/openv
This will work and I have done it numerous times without any issues.
You MUST have a /usr/openv though, NetBackup always needs this whether it's the actual directory install or a symbolic link to the actual directory where NetBackup is installed.

Hi all,
Thank for the help.
Actually the server admin asked me about this.
for some reason he changed the /usr permission to read only causing the client backup to failed.
