Hi all .

I've netbackup 6.5 on window server 2008 and netbackup lient on Solaris 10 64bit .
I've tried to backup snapshot for solaris server by backup policy type standard  with  parameters in backup selection :    Cache=/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s3 ,/var .
Then netbackup information is : Snapshot could not be created with auto method.
Then I've tried to creat snapshot on solaris server :    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/driver/snapon /var   /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s3  
                                                                                               But failed: Cannot find module (snapctl).
                                                                                                                   add_drv command failed.

Please help me .

I have tried a similar setup  on Linux and HP-UX , both where tricky  to get working (using VxFS file system) . You need to look in the bpifs debug log on the client. 

You can enable the log  by crating a directory called bpfis in /usr/openv/netbackup/logs , then add VERBOSE = 5 to bp.conf

You may also find assistance in the Netbackup Snapshot client admin guide chapter 7.

1. On your solaris (NBU Client), run /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/mklogdir
2. On NBU Master server side, run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA &
3. Navigate: Master Server -> NetBackup Management -> Host Properties -> Clients -> Select your solaris machine, right click it -> Propertiese -> logging, enable robust logging , global logging level is Five, Database logging is same with global. Save this conf by click OK.
4. Then restart all NBU services on solaris.

Then you do your operations, then you'll get bpfis logs at /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpfis/.


Hope this can do a little help.

Best Regards,
Brant.

You need to installed the snapshot client package on the client - it's a extension package to the file system client. This will also resolve the "an extension package is needed, but was not installed(9)" message you are seeing.

The snapshot client is located in the NetBackup_Enterprise_Server NB_SNC_6.5{something} installation file.


Here are two link to assist you:
