Hi all
Recently want install Linux client several times, with different OS Level choices but sends me an erros like below, I'm not familiar with linux systems...


Do you want to install the NetBackup client software for this client? [y,n] (y)

        OS Level Options
        ----------------
        1. IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6
        2. IBMpSeriesSuSE2.6
        3. IBMzSeriesLinux2.4.21
        4. RedHat2.4
        q To quit from this script

        If your Operating System is a newer level than those listed,
        choose the highest level.

        Enter Choice [1 - 4] 1

This package will install Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6 client.

This package will install NetBackup client 6.0MP4

Enter the name of the NetBackup server : yyyy

Would you like to use "xxxx" as the configured
name of the NetBackup client? [y,n] (y)
./cp_to_client: line 777: /media/cdrecorder/NBClients/anb/Clients/usr/openv/netbackup/
client/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6/tar: cannot execute binary file
tar failed unpacking client_bin.tar.Z on xxxx.
Cannot complete the client install.

A failure was detected running /media/cdrecorder/NBClients/anb/Clients/usr/openv/netbackup/
client/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6/cp_to_client yyyyy xxxx

The platform is Suse 9 or RedHat Advance server 3.0.

Any suggestion for this issue ??? I need your help.
Thanks in advance

Hi xaBo,
 
     The issue is that you are trying to unpackage or untar the file to the CDROM, try to copy the tar file to a temp folder give 777 rights to that folder and file and run from there, this is only permits issue and you cannot write to that cd, has you see in:
 
777: /media/cdrecorder/NBClients/anb/Clients/usr/openv/netbackup/
client/Linux/IBMpSeriesRedHat2.6/tar: cannot execute binary file
tar failed unpacking client_bin.tar.Z on xxxx.
Cannot complete the client install.
 
the folder where u r trying to extract the binaries for the install are ready only, copy the full NBUClients folder in the cd-rom and sure you will be fine.
 
 
Regards
