Mounting NetBackup software media on Solaris systems
For Solaris systems, use Volume Manager to mount the DVD.
The following procedure describes how to mount the NetBackup software media.
To mount the DVD on Solaris systems
1 Log in as root.
2 If Volume Manager (vold) is running, the DVD mounts automatically.
If vold is not running, start it up as follows:
/usr/sbin/vold &
InstallingNetBackup master server software on UNIX
The master server manages backups, archives, and restores. The master server
is where the NetBackup catalog resides which includes the internal databases that
contain information about NetBackup configuration and backups.
Use the following guidelines for a new master server installation:
Designate the computer that you want to be the master
server and install the master server software on that
computer first.
Designate master server
Installing server software 45
Installing NetBackup master server software on UNIXBy default, the installation script installs the Enterprise
Media Manager (EMM) Server software on the master server.
This configuration is preferred and is the most efficient.
Note: Although the EMM server can be located on a media
server, Symantec recommends that you keep it on the
master server.To locate the EMM on a media server requires
that you perform another procedure. After all NetBackup
server software (master and media) is installed, you must
move the NetBackup database and the EMM server to the
designated media server. For complete details, refer to the
NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX and Linux,
Volume I. See the section "Moving the NetBackup Database
from one host to another".
EMM server
During master server installation, you must enter a
NetBackup productlicense key. You must also enter license
keys for any additional NetBackup product options or agents
that are used on the server or its clients. These additional
license keys must be entered on the master server.
If you add, delete, or make and save any license key updates
in the NetBackup-Java Administration Console, you must
restart the console.
For more information on how to administer NetBackup
licenses, see the NetBackup Administrator’s Guide, Volume
I.
License keys
Starting with NetBackup 7.0,this platform is not supported
as a master server or as a media server that contains the
EMM server. It is only supported as a true media server (no
EMM) or a true client.
HP PA-RISC
Starting with NetBackup 7.0, these platforms are no longer
supported for use as a master server or as a media server.
These platforms are only supported as true clients.
Linux SUSE and Linux Red
Hat Itanium
To install NetBackup master server software
1 Log in to the server as root.
2 Use one of the following methods to start the installation script:
Installing server software
Installing NetBackup master server software on UNIX
Insert the NetBackup Server DVD for the
appropriate platform into the drive.
Check the DVD label to identify its contents.
See “About the NetBackup media kit” on page 17.
■ If necessary, mount the DVD.
See “About mounting the NetBackup software
media” on page 41.
■ Enter the following command:
cd_directory/install
The cd_directory is the path to the directory where
you can access the DVD.
DVD
■ Navigate to the location where the installation
images reside.
■ Enter the following command:
./install
ESD images (downloaded
files)
3 When the following message appears, press Enter to continue:
Installing NetBackup Server software.
Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [y]
4 For Solaris systems, NetBackup is set up by default to install to the running
root environment.
■ To install to the running root environment, press Enter.
■ To change the NetBackup installation location, type n and identify the
appropriate path where you want NetBackup installed.
5 When you see the following message, type y.
NetBackup and Media Manager binaries will be installed in
/opt/openv
and a link will be created from /usr/openv to opt/openv, if it
does not exist.
Is this okay? (y) [y, n,?, q]
6 Enter the NetBackup Server or Enterprise Server license key.
Installing server software 47
Installing NetBackup master server software on UNIX7 Type y, then follow the prompts to add license keys for other NetBackup
options and agents.
Although you can add license keys later, you should enter them now. If you
add any license keys later through the NetBackup-Java Administration
Console, you must restart the console.
8 After all license keys are entered, type q to quit the License Key Utility and
complete the server software installation.
9 Verify or enter the correct computer name when prompted by the following
message:
Installing NetBackup Enterprise Server version: 7.1GA
If this machine will be using a different network interface than
the default (machine name), the name of the preferred interface
should be used as the configured server name. If this machine
will be part of a cluster, the virtual name should be used as the
configured server name.
The domain name of your server appears to be (name.domain). You
may choose to use this domain name in your configured NetBackup
server name, or simply use (machine name) as the configured
NetBackup server name.
Would you like to use (name.domain) as the configured name of
the NetBackup server? [y, n] (y)
■ To accept the displayed (default) name, press Enter.
■ To change the displayed (default) name, type n and enter the name that
you want.
■ For a clustered NetBackup server, enter the virtual name for the NetBackup
server and not the actual local host name.
10 Identify or verify the master server by answering the following question when
it appears:
Is <name> the master server? [y, n] (y)
■ To accept the displayed name (which is the name that you identified in
the previous step), press Enter.
■ If you entered a virtual name for the server in the previous step, the
installation script presents the following question:
Is this server part of a cluster installation?
Ifthe answer is yes, press y and answer the series of cluster configuration
questions that appear.

48If the answer is no, press n.
11 Identify whether there are any media servers for this master server by
answering the following question when it appears:
Do you have any media servers? [y, n] (n)
■ If there are no media servers for this master server, press Enter and
proceed to the next step.
■ If there are media servers for this master server, type y and enter the
name of each media server.
When you enter the media server names, you must enter the computer
name and the domain name. For example:
alpha.min.symantec.com
Where alpha is the computer name and min.symantec.com is the domain
name.
The media server names that you enter here are added to the bp.conf file
on the master server, automatically. After you install the media server
software later, the master server can then communicate with the media
servers immediately.
■ To add a media server to an existing and operational NetBackup
environment, you cannot use the procedures in this guide. For complete
details on how to add a media server to an existing and operational
NetBackup environment, see the NetBackupAdministrationGuide,Volume
II.
12 When the following message appears, identify the name of the EMM server.
NetBackup maintains a centralized catalog (separate from the
image catalog) for data related to media and device
configuration, device management, storage units, hosts and host
aliases, media server status, NDMP credentials, and other
information. This is managed by the Enterprise Media Manager
server.
Enter the name of the Enterprise Media Manager (default: name)
■ To acceptthe displayed (default) master server name and installthe EMM
server on the master server, press Enter.
■ On a clustered master server, enter the virtual name ofthe master server.
Symantec does not support installing the EMM on an NFS-mount.
13 Answer the following question when it appears:
Installing server software 49
Installing NetBackup master server software on UNIXDo you want to start the NetBackup bprd process so backups and
restores can be initiated? [y, n] (y)
■ If you have (or want to have) a clustered NetBackup server, type n.
■ For non-clustered installations, press Enter to accept the default answer
(y) and start the NetBackup processes and the EMM server.
You must start these processes now because the EMM server must be
running when you install any media servers later.
14 For a clustered NetBackup master server, repeat these steps on every node
on which you want to run NetBackup.
