UNIX package consolidation
Starting with NetBackup 7.0, most of the add-on products and database agents are now installed with the NetBackup server or the client package. Separate installation for these products is no longer needed.
The following products are now included in the NetBackup server package (if the platform supports the product):
■ BMR master server
■ NDMP
■ NetBackup Vault
The following products are now included in the NetBackup client package (if the platform supports the product):
■ BMR Boot server
■ DB2
■ NetBackup Encryption
■ Informix
■ LiveUpdate agent
■ Lotus Notes
■ Oracle
■ SAP
■ Snapshot Client
■ Sybase
The binaries for the listed products are laid down with the server or the client package. A valid license is still required to enable the product. If product configuration was required previously (such as db2_config), configuration is still required.
Note: For Solaris server upgrades, the older versions of any listed products here must be removed before an upgrade to NetBackup 7.0. For example, VRTSnbdb2, SYMCnbdb2, VRTSnbenc, SYMCnbenc, and others. The installation script displays a list of the packages it finds that must be removed.
The Japanese and the Chinese language packages remain as separate add-ons. The process to install and upgrade these products remains the same.
Warning: If you remove the earlier versions after an upgrade to version 7.0, part of the NetBackup installation is destroyed and the product cannot function.
