Installing or uninstalling the NetBackup client
The NetBackup master server version should be higher or equal to the NetBackup client version. To upgrade the NetBackup client, uninstall the currently installed version of the NetBackup client and then install the specified version of the NetBackup client. The uninstall command runs on all the nodes of the Veritas Access cluster.
Veritas Access supports two major versions of the NetBackup client, version 7.7 and 8.0. By default, Veritas Access comes with the 8.0 version of the NetBackup client.
See the backup(1) man page for detailed examples.
To install the NetBackup client
- Display the currently installed version of the NetBackup client.
Backup> show
- Install the specified NetBackup client.
Backup> install version [URL]You must specify the version of the NetBackup client that you want to install. If you do not specify a URL, the Backup> install command has the information on the file system for the location it needs. Specify the major release version (8.0 or 7.7) as the second parameter. You can specify the NetBackup package minor release or patches (7.7.1 for a 7.7 major release) as the third parameter to install.
If the base NetBackup client version is 7.7.
Backup> install 7.7 scp://support@192.168.2.10:/home/NetBackup_7.7_ CLIENTS2.tar.gz
If the base NetBackup client version is 8.0.
Backup> install 8.0 scp://support@192.168.2.10:/home/NetBackup_8.0_ CLIENTS2.tar.gz
If there are minor releases or patches from the NetBackup client.
Backup> install 7.7 scp://support@192.168.2.10:/home/NetBackup_7.7.1_ CLIENTS2.tar.gz
Backup> install 7.7 scp://support@192.168.2.10:/home/NetBackup_7.7.2_ CLIENTS2.tar.gz
For example, consider that the NetBackup client binaries are placed on the following host:
192.168.2.10
Backup> install 7.7 scp://support@192.168.2.10:/home/NetBackup_7.7.3_ CLIENTS2.tar.gz
Where 192.168.2.10 is the host IP address on which the NetBackup client packages are placed.
NetBackup_7.7.3_CLIENTS2.tar.gz
This is the NetBackup client package.
