NetBackup HOWTO's

- Joe: What needs to be installed on the Media Server if it is Linux? Anything need to be installed on the Master Server?
- Steup: Matthew is somewhat right as extracting the archive containing NB_650_ICS on windows will break all the symbolic links, and render the full ICS install useless... Just use unix, for all you needs.
- cbull: I run a Netbackup Windows environment and get the "missing path" a lot. It's usually caused by ghost devices and here's how to fix it. Delete the "missing path" devices from the Device -> Drives portion of the NBU GUI. Then go to the media server the drives are connected to and open up a CMD.EXE prompt. Type in "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" (notice underscores) then type "start devmgmt.msc". The device management snapin should appear. Under the View menu, select "show hidden devices". Drill down to your tapes drives. If you see any tape drive devices that are grayed out, delete them. While you're there, verify that all the tape drives have Symantec drivers and not the built in Windows driver. Reboot the media server. When it comes back up use the same procedure to verify that the correct number of devices are showing in device manager and that there are no ghost devices. Then go to your NBU GUI and run the device discovery wizard for that media server. The correct tape devices should now show up in the GUI and without the "missing path". Hope it helps! cbull
