Well, we're getting somewhere slowly. 

ld.so.1: /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange: fatal: libCrun.so.1: version `SUNW_1.4' not found (required by file /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange)

Looks like you need to apply some Solaris patches to get PBX working before you worry about the NetBackup installation.

Here's the list from the 7.1 Release Notes:

111712-11 (or greater)
111722-04 (or greater)
112908-29 (or greater)
112874-31 (or greater)
122300-53

Symantec 7.1 NetBackup Release Notes
 http://symantec.com/docs/DOC3643 (see pages 47-8)

Unfortunately, I have to send you to Oracle to take care of THIS problem as Symantec doesn't have any of these patches.

Good luck!

Did you remember to use gtar to extract the installation files?

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH154080

Another possibility is that 'something else' may be using port 1556 (e.g. Oracle Listener). 

Symantec has registered the use of port 1556 - anything else using this port should be changed.

Hi Marianne,

Thanks for your reply no I didn't  remember to  use gtar, I will try that. The files that I extracted I will delete and use the gtar.

Also,  check the 1556 port.

Thanks again

Hi Marianne

The gtar command is in the /usr/sfw/bin directory do I have to use the command there? It didn't work in the directory where I want to extract the installation files.

# gtar ./SolarisSPARCtar -xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

gtar: not found

# gtar xvf ./SolarisSPARCtar -xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

gtar: not found

# ./SolarisSPARCtar gtar -xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

./SolarisSPARCtar: cannot execute

I want to extract the files in the var/strgg directory.  how can I extract the files using the gtar command in that directory?

Also, I am getting this when I telnet the 1556 port

# telnet 1556

Trying 0.0.6.20...

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

Thanks

The gtar command is in the /usr/sfw/bin directory do I have to use the command there? It didn't work in the directory where I want to extract the installation files.

# gtar ./SolarisSPARCtar -xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

gtar: not found

The directory that holds the gtar executable is not in your $PATH i.e. it is not in any of the locations that the OS looks for executables.

Either:

  1. add /usr/sfw/bin to your $PATH variable OR
  2. run the command using the absolute path i.e. /usr/sfw/bin/gtar & not just gtar

 

***EDITTED to correct typo in path for option 2.***

Thanks Andy,

What sorry I'm not sure about what the exact syntax of the command (s)

  1. add /usr/sfw/bin to your $PATH variable OR
  2. run the command using the absolute path i.e. /usr/sfw/gtar & not just gtar

 

# /usr/sfw/gtar ./SolarisSPARCtar -xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

/usr/sfw/gtar: not found

my current directory that is want to extract the files to is >>> /var/strgg

 

Thanks again!

Typo on my part /usr/sfw/bin/gtar - but you knew that didn't you?

The gtar command is in the /usr/sfw/bin

Try /usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xvf ./SolarisSPARCtar  NBU71_SUN.tar

Andy, thanks

This worked >> # /usr/sfw/bin/gtar xvf NBU71_SUN.tar

Marianne, Thank you! yes that did work.

I did get a different error during the install though, I posted it.

 

 

Update: Actually your command is different, let me try that command,

Thanks

I'm concerned you may have an incomplete package.  Does /var/strg/NetBackup_7.1_CLIENTS/NBClients/anb/Clients/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Solaris/Solaris9/NB-Java.tar.gz exist? 

(DISCLAIMER: I am hopeful I gave you the correct path)

EDIT: With all due respect, do you know any Solaris sysadmins who might be able to help you?

Lets get back to basics!

For a Client installation, you need NetBackup_7.1_CLIENTS.tar.gz.

So, to uncompress and extract, you can do it all in on go:

gzcat NetBackup_7.1_CLIENTS.tar.gz | /usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xvf  -

Thanks  CRZ, Marianne,

 

We had the clients file on another server and I am now trying to use it. It's the 7.5 client version from the files below what command should I do to extact the Sun Solaris client?

 

NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS      NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS.tar

 

What we usually use it just the two files below (they are extracted to make things simpler and I'm not the one who normally does that part)

SolarisSPARCtar  NBU71_SUN.tar

 

Thanks

Please show us output of 'ls -l'.

If NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS is a folder, then the files have already been extracted.

If you don't know if gtar was used to extract the files, then it is best to remove this folder and extract again with gtar:

# rm -r NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS 

# /usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xvf NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS.tar

# cd NetBackup_7.5_CLIENTS

# ./install

It didn't fully complete the extract, I thinking it may be a space issue? not enough

 

, Thanks

 

Update: capacity is only 44% so it shouldn't be a space issue.

Unexpected EOF on archive file 

Once again back to basics... Have you done a checksum on each one of the 3 downloads?
And again once you've merged them? 

Details on the FileConnect download page. 
README is this file on FileConnect: NetBackup-OpsCenter-7.5_Download_README.txt

I believe the new file  (NBU75_SUN.tar.gz ) is good, however I am not back to getting the original error. (below)

There should be some way to just start (or install) the The pbx_exchange daemon

There should be some way to just start (or install) the The pbx_exchange daemon

There is.  Try:

# /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged start

Does this work? 

If it DOES work, can you try the installation again?

If it DOESN'T work, what error(s) are you getting?

Just for grins, could you give us output from ls -l on your unzipped NBU75_SUN.tar so we can make sure it's close to the right size?
