NetBackup 7.0 Installation with a Hostname Other than Default One on Linux

savas — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:00:05 +0000

There has been some issues when i tried to install a netbackup 7.0 using a hostname that is different than the default hostname of the server.

1. Licences are still installed according to your default hostname, get_license_key script should be corrected if you want to manage with your installation hostname.

Change the following line(line 61):
PING_CMD=”ping -c 1 \${HOST} 2>/dev/null | grep \”1 packets received\”"
to
PING_CMD=”ping -c 1 \${HOST} 2>/dev/null | grep \”1 received\”"

2. /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf is not created and while you are trying to configure your devices, it is created according to your default hostname. My suggestion is to create manually and insert your hostname, before doing any device configuration from the master.

If you don’t, you are very likely to see the following message on your shared tape drives’ Properties:

No shared storage option license installed

I’m really not very sure if vm.conf is the reason, but i was able to solve this problem by manually creating it…

3. You are very likely to receive an error message at the end on the device configuration wizard:

“Restarting the Media Manager device daemon” will fail, and you will not be elligible to create your storage unit.

Cant Install VRTSpbx (ICS)

If you face an error like the following:
The reason is probably that, you copied the files from a windows machines and windows removed the permissions from the files…
Try one of these:
Mount the iso and install from that mount point or
burn the iso, mount and install from that or
mount iso on some other capable unix system, tar the files and untar them in the system you want to install…
