Installation and Initial Configuration

NetBackup DataCenter includes wizards that make it easy to install and configure the
software.
Installing and configuring NetBackup DataCenter involves the following steps as
explained in this chapter:
Installing NetBackup DataCenter
Configure Storage Devices for the Operating System
Configure NetBackup
Install the NetBackup Clients
Install Alternative Administration Interfaces
Install NetBackup Agents and Options (Optional)

Note If you are performing an upgrade, refer to Performing an Upgrade Installation on
page 37.
Before running the NetBackup DataCenter installation script, first review What Does the
Script Do? and What Should I Do Before I Start the Script? below.
What Does the Script Do?

In addition to installing the NetBackup DataCenter on the server, the install scripts do the
following:
Places the name of the DataCenter host in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf

file on the server.
Adds entries to the /etc/services file for NetBackup and Media Manager services
(for example, robotic daemons). The /etc/services file contains UNIX system
information. The script shows the default port numbers and asks if you want to
change them.
Checks to see if your server is running Network Information System (NIS). NIS is the
UNIX directory service utility. If it is running, you are instructed to add entries to
your NIS services map.
Adds entries to the servers /etc/inetd.conf file. The /etc/inetd.conf file

facilitates networking. Entries are added for bpcd, vopied, and bpjava-msvc, and
then the script sends inetd a SIGNAL to cause it to read the updated file.
Adds an automatic startup script to the /etc/rc2.d directory (Solaris) or to the

/sbin/rc2.d directory (HP). On other systems this script may be placed in a
different directory. This script will automatically initiate NetBackup and Media
Manager daemons when you reboot your operating system.
What Should I Do Before I Start the Script?

Review this section before starting the installation.
Installation Requirements
A server of a supported hardware type running a supported version of its operating

system, with adequate disk space and supported peripherals. For details on these
requirements, refer to the NetBackup Release Notes.
For reasonable performance of the NetBackup-Java interfaces, VERITAS recommends

256 MB of RAM, of which 128 MB are available to the interface program (jnbSA or
jbpSA).
The NetBackup CD-ROM.
The root password for the server.
About 20 minutes to install the server software. Additional time is required to

configure the product for your environment.
For some peripherals and platforms, kernel reconfiguration is required. See the
NetBackup DataCenter Media Manager System Administrators Guide - UNIX for details.
Adequate disk space to install the software (see the NetBackup Release Notes for
binary sizes).
All NetBackup servers must recognize and be recognized by their client systems. In
some environments, this means that each must be defined in the others /etc/hosts
file. Other environments may use the Network Information Service (NIS) or Domain
Name Service (DNS).
Identify the devices you plan to use in your NetBackup configuration. Ensure that
these devices appear on the list of DataCenter supported devices (included in the
Release Notes).
Notes About the Installation
If you are not adding any NetBackup media servers, ignore all references to them.
On the NetBackup server, the install location contains the software and the
NetBackup catalog and can become quite large.
For the Solaris NetBackup installation, the default location is /opt/openv with a
link to /usr/openv.
For the all other UNIX NetBackup installations, the default location is
/usr/openv.
If space is an issue, consider installing NetBackup on an alternate file system. The

installation allows you to select an alternate install location, and creates the
appropriate link to /usr/openv.
Because the product uses file locking, VERITAS recommends that you not install
NetBackup in an NFS mounted directory. File locking in NFS mounted file systems
can be unreliable.
For Hewlett Packard servers, install NetBackup on a file system that supports long file
names. Also, install HP-UX 10.x compatibility links.
Chapter 1, Installation and Initial Configuration
How to Install NetBackup DataCenter

1. Check the license keys included with this order to make sure that you have license
keys for all the NetBackup servers, clients, options, and agents that you have ordered.
When installing a NetBackup server, master or media, you must enter a NetBackup
base product license key. On the master server, you must also enter license keys for
any additional NetBackup software product options or agents used on the server or
its clients. For more information on administering NetBackup licenses see the
NetBackup DataCenter System Administrators Guide - UNIX.
2. Log in as the root user on the server.
3. Insert the CD-ROM in the drive.
4. HP systems only: Because the NetBackup CD-ROM is Rockridge formatted, it must be
mounted by entering the following commands:
nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/device-ID /cdrom
Where device_ID is the ID of your CD-ROM drive.

5. Change your working directory to the CD-ROM directory:
cd cd_rom_directory
Where cd_rom_directory is the path to the directory where you can access the
CD-ROM. On some platforms, it may be necessary to mount the directory.
6. Execute the install script:
./install
When the menu appears, choose option 1 (NetBackup). This installs both Media
Manager and NetBackup software on the server.
7. Follow the prompts in the installation scripts.
Note The correct NetBackup client software is automatically installed on the master
server. Do not install additional client software on any media servers.
Note The installation script offers you the option to load onto the server the UNIX client
software for each of the UNIX client types supported by NetBackup. Later you can
push this client software from the server to your UNIX clients.
Be certain to load onto the server the software for all the UNIX client types you
intend to back up. Otherwise, you will not be able to add these UNIX client types to
the NetBackup class configuration.
8. Remove Java files used by platforms for which you have no clients, as follows:
On HP700, HP800, and Solaris servers, NetBackup installation creates some large files
in the /usr/openv/java directory, including:
Solaris_JRE_117B.tar.Z
Solaris_X86_JRE_117B.tar.Z
hp1020_jre116.tar.Z
hp110_jre116.tar.Z
These files are needed for installs on the following NetBackup clients and are used by
the NetBackup Java interface applications on those platforms:
NetBackups Java client GUI runs on the following platforms:
SPARC: Solaris 2.6, 7, 8
Intel x86: Solaris 2.6, 7, 8
HP9000-700: HP-UX 10.20, 11.0
HP9000-800: HP-UX 10.20, 11.0
Delete any of the tar files used by platforms for which you have no clients:
Platform/OS
Tar file
SPARC: Solaris
Solaris_JRE_117B.tar.Z
Intel x86: Solaris
Solaris_X86_JRE_117B.tar.Z
HP-UX 10.20
hp1020_jre116.tar.z
HP-UX 11.0
hp110_jre116.tar.z
9. On HP systems only: to unmount the CD-ROM, do the following:
Execute the pfs_umount command
Use the kill command to kill the following processes:

pfs_mountd
pfsd
pfs_mountd.rpc
pfsd.rpc
Set up the Window Manager for Java Interface (Solaris /HP)

Always set your window manager so windows become active only when you click inside
the windows. Do not enable auto focus, which is when windows become active if you just
move the mouse pointer over them. The NetBackup-Java interfaces do not run properly
with auto focus enabled. The following are general instructions for correctly setting up the
focus.
CDE (Common Desktop Environment)
The following explains how to set up a CDE (Common Desktop Environment) window
manager, which is the preferred window manager for NetBackup-Java applications.
1. On the front panel in the CDE window, click the Style Manager control icon.
The Style Manager toolbar appears.
2. On the Style Manager toolbar, click the Window control icon.
The Style Manager - Window dialog box appears.
3. In the Style Manager-Window dialog box, click the Click In Window To Make Active
button.
4. Click OK.
5. Click OK when asked to Restart the Workspace Manager.
Motif
When using the Motif window manager, set the Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy X
resource as follows:
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:explicit
Modify Scripts
You may want to create or modify system startup scripts so they start the Media Manager
and NetBackup daemons when the system boots and terminate them at system shutdown.
Always start the Media Manager daemons before the NetBackup daemons.
In your initialization scripts for media servers, start and stop only ltid. Do not start and
stop bprd from media-server initialization scripts.
All server platforms have various scripts in the following directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies
For DEC Alpha, Solaris 2.x, SGI, NCR, Pyramid and Sequent, the goodies directory
contains the S77netbackup and K77netbackup scripts. S77netbackup starts the
NetBackup and Media Manager daemons and K77netbackup stops the NetBackup
and Media Manager daemons.
For all except DEC Alpha, place these scripts in the servers /etc/rc2.d
(startup) and /etc/rc0.d (shutdown) directories.
For DEC Alpha, place them in the /sbin/rc3.d (startup) and /sbin/rc0.d
(shutdown) directories.
For HP 10.x and HP 11.0, the goodies directory contains the S777netbackup and
K77netbackup scripts. S777netbackup starts the NetBackup and Media
Manager daemons and K77netbackup stops the NetBackup and Media Manager
daemons. Place these scripts in the servers /etc/rc2.d (startup) and /etc/rc0.d
(shutdown) directories.
For Auspex servers, the /etc/rc.local file can be changed by adding lines similar
to those in the example below. In the test environment, these lines were placed after
the test for /etc/exports and before the test for /tftpboot.
Figure 1. /etc/rc.local file for Auspex.
if [ -f /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid ]; then
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid
sleep 2
echo Media Manager daemons have been started. > /dev/console
else
echo Media Manager daemons have not started. > /dev/console
fi
if [ -f /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd ]; then
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd
sleep 2
echo NetBackup request daemon started. > /dev/console
else
echo NetBackup request daemon not started. > /dev/console
fi
For IBM servers, the goodies directory contains the rc.veritas.aix script.
This script starts the Media Manager and NetBackup daemons. Place this script into
the server's /etc directory and call it during the level 2 boot process. Edit the server's
/etc/inittab file and add this line:
veritas:2:wait:/etc/rc.veritas.aix
Call this script after most of the other level 2 inittab entries like rctcpip and
diagd.

Reliable use of NetBackup depends on the configuration of your storage devices. To
ensure reliable backups and restores, you must configure devices for your operating
system according to the instructions provided by the device and operating system
vendors. This should be completed before you configure NetBackup itself.
Note To connect a device to the operating system (OS), you should read the chapter
appropriate for your OS in the NetBackup Media Manager Device Configuration Guide.
The Device Configuration Guide is available on your installation CD in Acrobat
format.
Caution An improperly configured device may lead to loss of data during a restore.
Configure NetBackup
After the server software has been installed and storage devices have been configured,
perform the following steps. Refer to the NetBackup DataCenter System Administrators
Guide - UNIX for more information.
1. Configure NetBackup on Each Server
2. Configure Volumes
3. Configure the Catalog Backup
4. Create a Backup Policy

By definition, your NetBackup server is also a NetBackup client. When you installed the
NetBackup software, both the NetBackup server and NetBackup client software were
installed on your server machine.
The following are quick-start instructions for installing NetBackup client software. For
further information on installing and configuring software on PC clients, see the
NetBackup Installation Guide - PC Clients.
Windows 95/98/2000/NT 4.0

Note Open Transaction Manager (OTM) is a separately-priced option for BusinesServer.
If the clients server is a NetBackup BusinesServer, you must have license keys for
this feature registered on the server to enable this feature.
Execute PC_Clnt\Win32\Setup.exe from the CD-ROM.
NetWare Target and Nontarget

Note Open Transaction Manager (OTM) is a separately-priced option for BusinesServer.
If the clients server is a NetBackup BusinesServer, you must have license keys for
this feature registered on the server to enable this feature.
Installing OTM for NetWare

NetWare 3.x and 4.x:
1. Copy OTMDSK.DSK onto the servers DOS partition.
2. Modify STARTUP.NCF on the servers DOS partition so that OTMDSK.DSK is loaded
before any other .DSK drivers.
3. Reboot the NetWare file server.
NetWare 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x:
From the PC_Clnt\NetWare\NLM directory on the CD-ROM, copy OTMCDM.NLM,
OTMLAPI.NLM, OTMLOAD.NLM, AND PMTHREAD.NLM to the NetWare file server.
Installing NetBackup
Note tsands.nlm must be installed in order to back up and restore NetWare Directory
Services (NDS) files.
Any version-dependent NLMs must be also installed. These NLMs are in the form
tsaxxx.nlm and are supplied by Novell based on the NetWare Server release
level. For example, the appropriate NLM for a Netware 5.0 server is tsa500.nlm.
1. From the PC_Clnt\NetWare\NLM directory on the CD-ROM, copy BP.NLM,

BPSRV.NLM, BPSMS.HLP, and BPCD.NLM to the SYS:system directory on your file
server.
2. Create the following directories on the SYS: volume:
For NetWare Target

Openv\netback\logs

UNIX
To use a UNIX client, the software for that type of UNIX computer must first be loaded
onto your UNIX server. If you did not chose to do this during the installation of your
UNIX server, do so now by following the instructions provided in Add a UNIX Client
Type After Initial Server Installation on page 16.
UNIX clients can be installed in two different ways: either locally at the client computer, or
remotely, from your UNIX NetBackup server.
Locally: You must install the client software locally if remote installation is not
possible. Remote installation is not possible if your NetBackup server is an NT/2000
computer or if there is a firewall that prevents remote installation.
Remotely: You can push the client software from your UNIX NetBackup server to
your UNIX client computers.
Note If you are running NetBackup on a Windows NT/2000 computer, or if there is a

firewall that prevents remote installation, UNIX clients must be installed locally.
Note If your server is not HP or Solaris, you must install client software locally to install
NetBackup Java on HP and Solaris NetBackup clients. NetBackup Java is only
installed and distributed to HP and Solaris NetBackup clients from an HP or Solaris
NetBackup master server.
To initiate a backup or a restore from the UNIX client computer, the following graphical
interfaces are available on the UNIX client:
On Solaris and HP clients only: the NetBackup Java interface (jbpSA).
On all UNIX clients: the xbp interface. For instructions on the use of xbp, see the
NetBackup Users Guide - UNIX.
Install Client Software Locally

1. Insert the NetBackup CD-ROM into the drive on the client computer.
HP systems only: Because the NetBackup CD-ROM is Rockridge formatted, it must be
mounted by entering the following commands:
nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/device-ID /cdrom
Where device_ID is the ID of your CD-ROM drive.
11

cd cd_rom_directory
3. Start the install program.
./install
4. Choose option 2, NetBackup Client Software.

Note The choices provided for OS level represent the OS Level on which the binaries
were compiled. Often the binaries will function perfectly on newer versions of the
operating system. For example, Solaris 2.6 binaries also are used on Solaris 7 and
Solaris 8 levels of the operating system. So, if you wish to install on a Solaris 8
system, choose the Solaris2.6 binaries.
5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
6. On HP systems only: to unmount the CD-ROM, do the following:
Execute the pfs_umount command
Use the kill command to kill the following processes:

pfs_mountd
pfsd
pfs_mountd.rpc
pfsd.rpc
Install Client Software Remotely

The following sections describe how to push the client software from your UNIX
NetBackup server to your UNIX NetBackup clients. You can push the client software to
either a trusting client or a secure client.
Installing NetBackup Software on Trusting UNIX Clients
A trusting UNIX client is one that has an entry for the server in its /.rhosts file. The
/.rhosts entries enable software installation, but are not necessary for correct operation
of NetBackup software.
Note Add the trusting clients to a backup policy (class), if this has not already been done.
12
1. Start the NetBackup Administration interface.

In the Login dialog box, type the name of the NetBackup server that has the class
configuration with the clients.
You can install the client software only from the NetBackup server that you specify in
the Login dialog box when starting the interface. The clients must be defined in a class
on this NetBackup server.
2. In the NetBackup Administration window, click the Backup Policy Management icon.
3. Select the master server in the left pane.
4. Choose Install UNIX Client Software on the Edit menu.
13
The Install UNIX Client Software dialog box appears.
5. In the Dont install on these clients box, select the clients you want to install and click
the right arrows.
The clients are moved to the Install these clients box.
6. Click the Install Client Software button to start the installation.
Client software installation can take a minute or more per client. NetBackup writes
messages in the Progress box as the installation proceeds. If the installation fails on a
client, NetBackup notifies you but keeps the client in the class. You cannot stop the
installation once it has started.
During installation, NetBackup does the following:
14
Copies the client software from the /usr/openv/netbackup/client directory

on the server to the /usr/openv/netbackup directory on the client.
Adds the required entries to the clients /etc/services and inetd.conf files.
The only way to install client software to a different location on the client is to create
the directory where you want the software to reside and then create
/usr/openv/netbackup as a link to that directory prior to installing software.
7. When the install is complete, click Close.
Installing NetBackup Software on Secure UNIX Clients
As defined here, a secure UNIX client is one that does not have an entry for the NetBackup
server in its /.rhosts file.
Note Add the secure clients to a backup policy (class), if this has not already been done.
1. Move software from the server to temporary space in the /tmp directory on the client
by executing the install_client_files script from the NetBackup server. To
execute this script, you must have a login ID and password that you can use to access
the clients through ftp.
To move software to only one client at a time, execute:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ftp client user
To move software to all clients at once, execute:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ftp ALL user
Where the options are defined as follows:
client is the hostname of the client.
user is the login id required by ftp on the client.
ALL specifies that you want to install all clients which are configured in any
backup policy (class) on the server.
The install_client_files script prompts you for a password for each client if
you do not have a .netrc file set up.
2. After the install_client_files script is done, the root user on each of the clients
must execute the client_config script to complete the installation:
sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config
The client_config script installs the binaries and updates the /etc/services
and inetd.conf files on the client.
15
Add a UNIX Client Type After Initial Server Installation

If you add a new UNIX client type to your backup environment, or forgot to select a UNIX
client platform during your NetBackup installation, you must first load the NetBackup
client software onto the NetBackup server as described below.
1. Insert the NetBackup CD-ROM into the drive on the server.
cd cd_rom_directory
3. Use the install program to load the client software onto the NetBackup server.
./install
4. Choose option 2, NetBackup Client Software.

5. Follow the prompts, selecting the additional client platforms you want.
6. You must now install the NetBackup client software on these additional client
computers, as described earlier in this chapter.
16

You can install a NetBackup user interface on a different computer. (This will be necessary
if your server computer has no graphics display capabilities.)

NetBackup Administration Client

The NetBackup Administration Client is a version of the NetBackup client for Windows
NT/2000 which can be used to remotely administer one or more UNIX or Windows
NT/2000 NetBackup DataCenter computers. You can skip this section if you do not want
to remotely administer a DataCenter computer from a Windows NT/2000 NetBackup
client.
Before you can use the NetBackup Administration Client, the host that is to run the
Administration Client must be added to the server list of the remote DataCenter computer
you want to administer. We recommend that you do this before installing the
Administration Client.
1. To add the Administration Client host to the server list of the remote DataCenter
computer, do the following:
a. Go to the remote DataCenter computer.
b. In the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file, at the end of the SERVER =
lines, add the following line:
SERVER = name-of-Administration-Client-machine
2. Go to the computer on which you want to install the Administration Client.

3. Insert the CD-ROM that contains the NetBackup server software.
On Windows NT 4.0/2000 systems with AutoPlay enabled for CD-ROM drives,

the NetBackup install program starts automatically.
On Windows NT 4.0/2000 systems that have AutoPlay disabled, run the

AutoRunI.exe program in the AutoRun directory on the CD-ROM.
17
4. On the NetBackup - Install screen, click the Install option beneath NetBackup Server.
5. Enter the NetBackup base product license key.
For more information on administering NetBackup licenses see the NetBackup
DataCenter System Administrators Guide - UNIX.
6. Click Administration Client.
7. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Note On the NetBackup System Names screen, the name of the Administration Client
should be in the first entry field. You must enter the name of the remote NetBackup
DataCenter computer in the Master Server field.
When the software is installed, a set of NetBackup documents are also installed in the
following directory:
install_path\Help
By default, install_path is C:\Program Files\VERITAS.
By default, the Administration Client interface will automatically begin as soon as
you click Finish in the installation program. (If you did not choose that default, go to
the Windows Start menu on the Administration Client computer and select Programs,
VERITAS NetBackup, NetBackup Administration.)
NetBackup-Java Display Console for Windows

The NetBackup-Java Display Console allows you to run the NetBackup Java (UNIX)
interfaces on a Windows NT, 2000, 98, or 95 system to remotely administer your UNIX
NetBackup servers. You can skip this section if you do not want to remotely administer
UNIX NetBackup servers using the Java interface on Windows NT, 2000, 98, or 95.
Requirements
For the computer on which you want to run the NetBackup-Java Display Console,
VERITAS recommends 256 MB of physical memory.
Installation procedure
1. On the system where you are performing the install, insert the CD-ROM that contains
the NetBackup server software.
18
On Windows NT 4.0/2000 systems with AutoPlay enabled for CD-ROM drives,

the NetBackup install program starts automatically.
Install NetBackup Agents and Options
On Windows NT 4.0/2000 systems that have AutoPlay disabled, run the

AutoRunI.exe program in the AutoRun directory on the CD-ROM.
2. On the NetBackup - Install screen, click on the Install option beneath NetBackup - Java
Display Console for MS. A welcome dialog box appears.
3. Click Next and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
4. When the software is installed, see the following document for information on using
the display console (this document is installed with the software):
install_path\Java\Readme.txt
Where, by default, install_path is C:\Program Files\VERITAS.

After your initial installation is complete, you can install any other NetBackup agents and
options (such as NetBackup for Oracle) by following the instructions in the NetBackup
guide that comes with that product.

Performing an Upgrade Installation

This section explains how to upgrade your UNIX server to NetBackup 3.4.
Requirements
Caution Back up your NetBackup databases before upgrading NetBackup software on
the master server.
As a general rule, ensure that the NetBackup release level on each server is at least
equal to that on the clients. Older versions of server software can encounter problems
with newer clients. Upgrade all servers first so they are at the same level.
You can upgrade to 3.4 only if you currently have NetBackup 3.1.1, 3.2, or 3.3 software
installed.
To Allow Reinstalling NetBackup 3.4

To allow the option of reinstalling NetBackup 3.4 after the upgrade, perform the following
steps:
1. Back up all databases (media, volume, configuration, device) on the master and
remote media servers.
2. Back up all NetBackup 3.4 patches, scripts, and bp.conf entries that are specific to
NetBackup 3.4.
3. You do not have to upgrade your clients at this time, only the master and remote
media servers.
If you are running NetBackup 2.1 clients, create a

/usr/openv/netbackup/2_1_CLIENT_COMPATIBILITY file on the
NetBackup 3.4 master server and remote media servers.
21
Install Software on UNIX Servers and Clients
If you have DEC3100, DEC5000 or SGI IRIX 4 clients, create a

/usr/openv/netbackup/2_1_CLIENT_COMPATIBILITY file on the
NetBackup 3.4 master server and remote media servers.
If you have 3.2 or 3.3 clients that are unsupported at 3.4 and encounter problems with
using the new features of 3.4, move those clients to a separate class.

Before Installation
1. Stop the NetBackup/Media Manager daemons:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all
2. On Solaris and HP, stop all instances of the NetBackup Java interface applications.
You can find the process IDs for the NetBackup Java applications by piping the output
of ps into grep.
On Solaris, for example:
If you are upgrading from NetBackup 3.2 or later:
ps -ef | grep jre | grep openv
If you are upgrading from NetBackup 3.1.1, you must first terminate all instances of
web browsers that initiated the NetBackup Java client application:
ps -ef | grep "java jbpMServer" | grep openv
Then, use the kill command to terminate the processes.

3. On Solaris, if you are upgrading to NetBackup 3.4 or reinstalling it, remove the
current SUN packages.
Caution This will remove all/any NetBackup scripts you may have modified. See step 2
of After the Upgrade on page 26.
pkgrm SUNWnetbp SUNWmmgr
When asked:
Are you doing this pkgrm as a step in an upgrade process?
Answer y.
22
Procedure
As the root user, install the NetBackup server software first on the master server and then
on all remote media servers. The steps for each server are as follows:
NetBackup Datacenter System Administrators Guide - UNIX.
3. Insert the CD-ROM in the drive.
cd cd_rom_directory
5. Execute the install script:
./install
6. When the menu appears, choose option 1 (NetBackup). This installs both Media
Manager and NetBackup software on the server.
Option 2 (NetBackup Client Software) is for local installation on UNIX clients (see
Install Client Software Locally on page 11) or for reinstalling client software without
disturbing the NetBackup and Media Manager installation.
7. Follow the prompts in the installation script.
If this is a remote media server, install only the Media Manager and the server
software for NetBackup. The correct NetBackup client software is automatically
installed. Do not install the other client software on a remote media server.
The installation script can push client software to up to 30 clients simultaneously.

If you have more than 30 UNIX clients to upgrade, we suggest you respond to the
installation script as explained below and then upgrade the clients later (as
explained in step 8).
Chapter 2, Performing an Upgrade Installation
23
Note: On Solaris, if you have done the pkgrm, you will not be prompted to
update your NetBackup clients. Refer to step 8 for information on upgrading
clients after the installation.
Note If your server is not HP or Solaris, you must install client software locally to install
NetBackup Java on HP and Solaris NetBackup clients. NetBackup Java is only
installed and distributed to HP and Solaris NetBackup clients from an HP or Solaris
NetBackup master server.
If you have more than 30 clients to upgrade:
When asked:
Do you want to update the NetBackup software on the clients?
(y/n) [y]
Answer y.
The script proceeds as follows:
Starting update_clients script.
There are N clients to upgrade.
Do you want the bp.conf file on the clients updated to list this
server as the master server? (y/n) [y]
Answer either y or n here.

Enter the number of simultaneous updates you wish to take place.
Must be in the range 1 - 30 (default: 15)
Press Enter (Return).

The upgrade will likely take Y to Z minutes.
Do you want to upgrade clients now? (y/n) [y]
Answer n.
You will need to upgrade clients later with install_client_files
or update_clients -ClientList filename.
The complete list of UNIX clients can be found in
/tmp/NB_CLIENT_LIST.04-29-1533.13195.
(04-29-1533.13195 is a date-time.pid that changes with each execution)

After the install, edit the file /tmp/NB_CLIENT_LIST.04-29-1533.13195 appropriately
for your site.
You can delete clients and change OS levels. The format of each entry in the file is:
hardware_type os_level client_name
Where hardware_type os_level and client_name are as defined for the clients in
the NetBackup class configuration.
24
For more than 30 clients, you can divide the list into multiple files and execute
update_clients for each file.
You can also upgrade only one client by creating an entry for just that client in the
-ClientList file.
8. If you did not update the NetBackup client software on all currently configured UNIX
client systems when running the installation script, do so now by performing the
following steps as root user on the NetBackup master server.
a. Check whether bprd is running by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps
b. If only one bprd shows up in the bpps output, there are no active backups or
restores. You can terminate the bprd daemon by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate
c. Update UNIX client software by executing the update_clients script with one
of the following commands:
If you are using a -ClientList file (as explained in step 7) execute the following
(all on one line):
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients -ClientList file_name
If you are not using a -ClientList file execute:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients
9. After all servers and clients have been updated, start NetBackup and Media Manager
daemons as the root user on the master server by entering the commands:
At this point, UNIX server and UNIX client updates are complete.

Upgrading from NetBackup BusinesServer 3.4 to NetBackup DataCenter 3.4
Upgrading from NetBackup BusinesServer 3.4 to NetBackup

DataCenter 3.4
NetBackup Datacenter System Administrators Guide - UNIX.
2. Reinstall NetBackup, following the instructions in the previous section, Install
Software on UNIX Servers and Clients.
3. When prompted, enter the DataCenter license key.
This will perform DataCenter specific configuration and install the correct man pages.
After the Upgrade

1. Upgrade any separately-priced options (such as NetBackup for Oracle) on clients that
have been upgraded. Separately-priced options should be at the same level as the
NetBackup client.
2. If you made changes to NetBackup scripts prior to the upgrade, apply those changes
to the new scripts. Installing the software overwrites the following files, after first
copying them to a file or directory with the old version appended to the name:
26
All files in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies directory and the

/usr/openv/netbackup/help directory.
Some files and directories in /usr/openv/volmgr.
The following scripts from the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin directory:
backup_notify
backup_exit_notify
bpend_notify (present only if used)
bpend_notify_busy (present only if used)
bpps
bpstart_notify (present only if used)
After the Upgrade
dbbackup_notify
diskfull_notify
initbpdbm
initbprd
restore_notify
session_notify
session_start_notify
userreq_notify
For example, an upgrade from NetBackup 3.2 to 3.4 would result in changing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies
to
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies.3.2GA
and changing
to
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd.3.2GA
3. If you are updating from 3.2 and are going to use the Motif interfaces (xbpadm,
xvmadm and so on), update the 3.2 resource files for these interfaces so they all use
XNB.
To make it easier to configure all of the Motif interfaces to look the same, these
interfaces now use a common resource file named XNB.
Your X interface program searches for the XNB resource file by going through the
paths listed in the XFILESEARCHPATH in your environment. This varies from
operating system to operating system. Often resource files are kept in
/usr/lib/X11/app_defaults. For Solaris CDE environments, the directory
/usr/dt/app_defaults is usually used.
In NetBackup 3.0, the Motif interfaces used the following resource files:
XNB
XBpmon
XBpadm
XVmadm
27
After the Upgrade
If you changed any of these files to control the look of the NetBackup 3.2 Motif
interfaces, perform the following procedure.
a. Apply those changes to the XNB resource file (located in
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin or /usr/openv/volmgr/bin).
b. Copy XNB into your X resource directory (listed in XFILESEARCHPATH).
c. Remove the old XBpmon, XBpadm, and XVmadm files from
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin, /usr/openv/volmgr/bin, and from your X
resource directory.
4. If this is a master server upgrade installation and the site had previously allowed
nonroot users to administer NetBackup, the default permissions and group on the
newly installed files allow only a root user to perform NetBackup administration.
Refer to Chapter 2 in the NetBackup System Administrators Guide - UNIX to determine
how to restore nonroot administrator capability.
5. If you are going to use the NetBackup Java interfaces, see the NetBackup Release Notes
for configuration information. The online help provides operating instructions.
Note On HP700, HP800, and Solaris servers, NetBackup installation creates some large
files in the /usr/openv/java directory, including: Solaris_JRE_117B.tar.Z,
Solaris_X86_JRE_117B.tar.Z, hp1020_jre116.tar.Z, and
hp110_jre116.tar.Z. These files are needed for installs on Solaris 2.6, 7, 8,
Solaris x86 2.6/7/8, HP 10.20, and HP 11.0 NetBackup clients and used by the
NetBackup Java graphical-user-interface applications on those platforms. Delete
these tar files if you do not have NetBackup clients with these hardware and
operating system combinations.
