NBAC in VCS cluster using NBU 7.0.1

Hi All

I'm trying to configure nbac on a clustered master server.

Solaris 10 Clustered master server
SF/HA 5.1
NBU 7.0.1

I have downloaded ALL the documentation from http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76577

Trying to find out HOW TO cluster nbac is almost impossible - one would think that the HA and/or VCS Guides on this URL contains all necessary info.

Not so....

Expecting to find instructions under these topics:

Installing and configuring access control on an NBU 7.0 clustered or HA (High Availability) master server

You can install and configure access control on a clustered master server.

Use the following procedure to install and configure access control on a clustered master server.

1. Log on to the primary cluster node and bring online the NetBackup, Authentication, and Authorization resources group in this node. All the resources should be online in the same cluster node.
2. For cluster‘s that support dependency between resources, provide a hard dependency between the Authentication and NetBackup resource group. The NetBackup resource should come online only when the Authentication and Authorization services are online.

 

S-O-O   - according to this, there should be an existing nbac cluster service group.... HOW???

In one of these manuals, I find a reference to ICS_Installation_Guide that contains instructions how to cluster AT & AZ.

The hunt begins for ICS_Installation_Guide.... Long story short - it's on the 7.0 install media.

I went through all the requirements - Diskgroup, volume, virtual hostname and IP.

Then, p.74:
Making AT highly available in VCS on UNIX
You can make AT highly available in VCS on UNIX platform using the VxATclconf.pl script and VxATclinput.txt input file.
VxATclinput.txt needs to be edited before running the VxATclconf.pl script.

NOTE: Download the latest configuration script and input file from http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/336967. Replace the ones that already exist in the /opt/VRTSat/bin directory.

Trying to download these files: The above URL redirects you back here (where we started): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76577

 NO UNIX scripts - only links to Windows scripts....

PLEASE - if there's anybody out there that has managed to install/cluster/configure NBAC on a clustered master server, I'd like to have a chat.....

Excellent,

 

I tried the install on Linux and noticed the AZ component was not copied to the location is specified, so i edited the perl script and stuck in my own location. I didn't see any issue with AT though, must have missed that bit. Might give it another try now.

 

Strange thing is it worked on Windows, who wouldv'e thought surprise

 

Still comes down to bad, or non existent, documentation.......
