Hello. I have Linux on Z and I am going here:

 

[root@rhel NetBackup_7.1_zLinuxR]# ls
Doc  install  LICENSE  zlinuxR

and I get to the point where it asks for a license key. How do I just install the client?

Client are installed from the CLIENT cd/media, you're using the server cd/media. For 7.1. there might be 3 files that you need to combine to make the CLT (CLIENT) cd/media. Its a bit long ago so hope you have that media set.

Thank you. I don't have the cd/media. I have the tar files. Is that different?

See below:

 

[root@rhel symantec]# ls

What you need to download is NetBackup_7.1_CLIENTS.tar.gz

Why still on version 7.1?  It's quite old.

As I said previously, those are the server binaries. You could ask Symantec/Veritas for a TMP serial that might give you access to 7.1 on fileconnect. Not sure if its still available on there.

 

Then again, as Will said, why are you using 7.1?

One more thing - no license key goes on a client. License keys go on the master server to enable the relevant policy type.

Thanks for responding. It looks that that is what they gave us for a trial.

Is this what I need?

 

[root@rhel symantec]# cd IBMzSeriesRedHat2.6
[root@rhel IBMzSeriesRedHat2.6]# ls
client_bin.tar  dir            install_client  move_libs       PBX.tar.gz      SYMCnbclt.rpm   tar
client_config   extract_java   installpbx      NB-Java.tar.gz  sftp_to_client  SYMCnbjava.rpm  version
cp_to_client    ftp_to_client  JRE.tar.gz      nbj.conf        ssh_to_client   SYMCnbjre.rpm   VRTSpbx-1.5.0.6-6.RH_s390x64.rpm
[root@rhel IBMzSeriesRedHat2.6]# ./install_client
install_client requires execution with an absolute path.

Those are the Client binaries that is installed on a master that can be used for a push-install.

Client push-install from a master or media server is covered in NBU Installation Guide:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3647 
(Use the Attachments button to download the pdf).

Look for this topic in Chapter 7:
About remote installation methods for UNIX clients

Thanks Marianne,

I need the master server to install the client?

Yes,

 

Add the client you want to install to to a policy first.

 

Then run the install_client using the full path and specfying the client name and ssh

 

Check the note https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH154276.html

Thanks. I was able to get the media server installed. Is there a way to access it on Linux? Meaning an admin client or something?

Thanks for your help. I ended up getting the admin client to install using x11 desktop

Have you seen this before?

 

[root@rhel bin]# ./install_client_files ssh 10.100.0.97 root
<16>bpauthorize main: Function connect_to_remote_server(rhel.infinite-blue.com) failed: 25
cannot connect on socket

You do not have the proper authorization to perform
this task.  Please resolve and try again.

Are you using VXSS?

 

grep VXSS /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf

 

If so, you need to use bpnbat -login

 

But we seem to be getting off topic.

Thanks for the prompt responses!!

 

I will open a new topic.

Best to find Unix Clients dvd or iso and install client software directly on the client. If you have your license certificate handy, you can use the Serial number on the certificate to download Client software from FileConnect.
