Hi,
I need to remove NBU from my Ubuntu server.
I saw this post but i wonder if there has none-manually\better way to do it.
also i didn't find how to remove the vxpbx_exchange service. How should i do it?
Thanks
edit:
I have an "install" script installation that installing the PBX and NBU Services - it is extracting the necessery packages from tar.gz files.
Solved! Go to Solution.

The TechNote you found is for very old NBU version(s).
If you want to remove NBU Client Software, you need to look in the Installation Guide for the particular NBU version.
For NBU 7.6: NetBackup Installation Guide
Chapter 10: Removing NetBackup client software
Removing NetBackup server software in chapter 9.

Generally pbx_exchange automatically uninstalls with unistallation of Symantec Netbackup, if it not required by any other product of symantec on that server.

PBX should be a package you can uninstall. PBX does not de-install with Netbackup becuase its used by many other Symantec programs .e.g VCS, VXVM
# dpkg -l | grep -i pbx
Then remmove the package. Youre version for PBX will be diffrent
# dpkg -r VRTSpbx-1.5.26.4-4

On Linux (and Unix), each package must be removed separately.

to remove PBX :
AIX installp -u VRTSpbx
HP-UX swremove VRTSpbx
Linux rpm -e VRTSpbx
Solaris pkgrm VRTSpbx

Marianne,
The Linux removal in the installtion guide is only for RHEL (rpm) and not for Debian.
Thanks for the soulution for the pbx service.
By the way, the installation i have is an install script, not dpkg binary (or rpm binary.....)

This solution is for RHEL while I need solution for UBUNTU.

Thanks Nicolai,
but i am installtion the NBU with install script that installed the pbx service and the NBU together, not using the dpkg platform, so I do not have an ubuntu package to remove.

The NBU install script will still call OS commands in the background.
There is nothing in the Installation Guide that says RHEL.
The assumption therefore is that it will be for all supported Linux versions.
Extract:
3 Identify any installed add-on products by using the following command:
AIX lslpp -L
HP-UX swlist
Linux rpm -qa
Solaris pkginfo

pbx should be a Debian package you can remove with dkp. You may get away removing rest of the client by just removing /usr/openv, but we need to know the Netbackup version:
Please do a :
# more /usr/openv/netbackup/version
The client installer can and do today packages on RedHat and SuSe.
From a RedHat server :
# rpm -qa | grep SYMC
SYMCnbjava-7.7.0.0-0
SYMCnetbp-7.7.0.0-0
SYMCpddea-9.0.0.0-0
SYMCnbclt-7.7.0.0-0
SYMCpddes-9.0.0.0-0
SYMCnbjre-7.7.0.0-0

The installation guide has a manually Debian PBX removal -
/opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged stop
rm -rf /opt/VRTSpbx
rm -rf /etc/vx/VxICS
Ubuntu does not support rpm installation packages unless some changes has been made to support it on the server. Its not so simple.

I have an "install" script installation that installing the PBX and NBU Services - it is extracting the necessery packages from tar.gz files.
The NBU version is 7.6.0.4.
06-02-2015 06:50 AM
Yes it does.
Since its a current version of Netbackup you should refer to Mariannes link to the 7.6 Installation Guide (first post). Navigate to page 142 "Removing NetBackup from UNIX/Linux clients"
