OpenVms for Netbackup question

[Junaid_Mohammad]

I have a master with NetBackup 5.1 mp5 and I have been requested to install OpenVMS for (ALPHA) 7.3-2 and OpenVMS(VAX) 7.1. I am unable to locate a 5.1 version of OpenVMS, only 5.0 and 6.0.

If 5.0 is the version I need to install on the client, what kind of installation is required for the master server, do I need to install an agent.

Thanks

I forgot to ask, do i need a special License Key for Open VMS.

Thanks

James,
Thanks for the link, I found it very useful. I have another question though.

On the Veritas website I saw the following NetBackup Media Kit available for OpenVMS.


Component Description HRO

SKU# N12933Y CD,NetBackup DataCenter,VMS,Client,v5.0,English HRO 6828 - Require this copy

SKU# Q18279Y CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English HRO 7085 - Have two Copies

14-000885-011 CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English HRO 7085 - Require this copy as well


I have (SKU# Q18279Y - CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English), do I require (14-000885-011 - CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English) the following as well and do you know the difference.

I planning to install OpenVMS for OpenVMS(ALPHA) 7.3-2 and OpenVMS(VAX) 7.1, which are both supported by NetBackup.

All i now need is a License, as OpenVMS is backward compatible with a NetBackup master or media server (5.1) running an earlier NetBackup release.


Thanks

James,
Thanks for the reply, I found it very useful. I wrote a reply earlier in the morning, but for some reason, it did not get posted. So I will attempt for the second time.

NetBackup Media Kits
The following NetBackup Client 5.0 and 6.0 GA OpenVMS CD-ROM Media

Component Description HRO

SKU# N12933Y CD,NetBackup DataCenter,VMS,Client,v5.0,English HRO 6828 - Require this copy

SKU# Q18279Y CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English HRO 7085 - Have two Copies

14-000885-011 CD,NetBackup Client,OpenVMS,v6.0,English HRO 7085 - Require this copy as well

I received a media kit from Veritas for OpenVMS (Q18279Y), but can you confirm if I need the following (14-000885-011) as well, are these the same thing or something different. I am planning to install Openvms for the following clients:

OpenVMS(ALPHA) 7.3-2 and OpenVMS(VAX) 7.1

As I found out that NetBackup for OpenVMS installation CDROM is backward compatible with a NetBackup master or media server (5.1), so I am planning to install Version 6 of OpenVMS.

Thanks

Junaid,


3.x days the box of cd's came with the VMS client

your company should have a login ID to this web site.

I have got the CDs at long last, but can you tell me if i require a licence key for OpenVMS, to placed on the master server.

Thanks

Outstanding question

[Junaid_Mohammad]

License Key is required for OpenVMS which is entered on master server.

Junaid,

License Key's for extensions, server and client are needed for Netbackup version 4.x to present, they are not needed for 3.x and below!

Just a piece of worthless trivia.
