Hi
we have one client running at following OS.
SunOS prod_btp01 5.10 Generic_147440-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise
current version of Netbackup is "NetBackup-Solaris10 6.5.3".
we are planning to upgrade client to 7.6, as per my understnding it requires approx 2.5 GB space in /usr/openv and equal amount in /tmp for keeping temporary files.
now issue is we have only 1 Gb space in /tmp and it can't be incresead, /opt has almost 6 GB free space.
If I create a tmp dir inside /opt (eg. /opt/tmp) and pass this location for NB_TMPDIR variable and install netbackup in /opt (link to /usr/openv), will it make installation possible on this client ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Actually this would be an easy 'fix' for you
See the following:

Solution 1 is probably the easiest for you (it will allow you to set a temporary directory for the installation).
Good luck!

/opt/tmp could (probably not) but could be used by something else, the installer script even... so might be best to use /opt/champ35 as the temp space path. :) But sounds like your plan should work.

Yes, that should work.
Edir: sdo makes a good point, maybe create a dedicated tmp area

Mark Deb as solution!
I use /var/tmp, but any filesystem with space can be used:
BTW - you need at least 4GB in this tmpdir! If it fails, it can jack up the installation.
Solution 1:
Set NB_TMPDIR to a location that has enough space. Example using /usr/openv/tmp:
NB_TMPDIR=/var/tmp; export NB_TMPDIR

It is dead-easy to increase swap/tmp space by adding a swapfile.

What if you don't have root access to do so?
Is there a way to declare the NBU_TMPDIR at the beginning of the install_client script?
