Netbackup Upgrade Help
HI, I am a support engineer, I have limited knowledge about NBU. Don't go harsh on me for asking stupid questions. I have shared the environment details for a client who are planning an upgrade. Lucky for them, I have to do the upgrade. Environment details: PRIMARY SITE: A virtual NetBackup Master Server based upon NBU version 8.1.2 (OS LINUX). A NBU Appliance 5240 configured as a Media Server based upon NBU version 8.1.2 and Appliance version 3.1.2. MSDPis configured on the media appliance. DISASTER RECOVERY SITE: ANBU Appliance 5240 configured as a Master-Media Server based upon NBU version 8.1.2 and Appliance version 3.1.2. Via auto image replication working on one to one model NBU replicates the backup copies from PR site to DR site. Lets suppose we are upgrading to NBU 9.0, Now the questions are, Firstly I will update the master server to NBU 9.0. If the prerequisites check clears. all is good and I should proceed to upgrade the master server and move onto the media appliance. Is that how it goes? The media appliance is based upon NBU appliance version 3.1.2 so upgrading the appliance version to 4.0 would automatically upgrade the NBU version in it from 8.1.2 to 9.0. Is the NBU version bundled in the appliance version or do I have to upgrade it separately? At the DR site when upgrading the NBU appliance to appliance version 4.0, would it update the master and media server NBU versions in it to 9.0 or if I have to update NBU version separately would the media and master server both be updated from the same package? Should I run the AURA (Appliance Upgrade Readiness Analyzer) tool on both PR and DR appliances before upgrading them? Can I downgrade if something goes wrong? MarianneNicolaiRiaanBadenhorstPlease help, thanking in anticipation.Solved1.4KViews0likes2Commentsmaster server crash
Hi, I faced with a situation I'd be grateful if you could help. I had a master server and a media server attached. we had policies for oracle that connects to the client and started an script to make a backup using rman. now we totally lost our master server but our backups are safe in the media server. I have to say that we lost the server we have backedup from as well. what can I do to manually add backupfiles to the master server catalog to be able to run the restore script? we don't have any catalog backup from the master server. both master and media servers are running on windows server thank you.2.1KViews0likes10CommentsReissue token from master using CLI
Hi, is it possible to reissue token via CLI in the master server? My master runs on a Windows OS and having the 8.2 version ( soon will be upgraded to 8.3). I want to silently get the reissue token details from master as a requirement for the silentclient.cmdreinstallation of NetBackup client in client server. This is part of the automation process that I've been working and can't seem to execute any command. I don't want any human intervention in between. Any chance to do that in master server? Thanks!2.3KViews0likes4Comments
