Upgrading a NetBackup failover server on Solaris Cluster
Follow these instructions if you want to upgrade NetBackup. You must also have the Solaris Cluster agent that was installed with your previous version of NetBackup.
Note:
NetBackup does not support conversion of an existing non-failover NetBackup server to a failover NetBackup server. Contact Veritas Enterprise technical support .
To upgrade a NetBackup failover server on Solaris Cluster
- Ensure that a good backup of your cluster environment exists that includes a catalog backup.
- For each NetBackup server that runs outside of the cluster, ensure that the server list is accurate. This list should contain the name of each node where NetBackup can run and the name of the virtual server.
- Put NetBackup in the unmanaged state by executing the following commands:
/usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j scnb-hars
- On active node, install the NetBackup server.
Note the following:
Follow the instructions for how to install NetBackup server as described in the NetBackup Installation Guide.
If required to specify the server name, provide the virtual name of the server.
- On each inactive node to which NetBackup may failover, install theNetBackup server.
Note the following:
Follow the instructions for how to install NetBackup server as described in the NetBackup Installation Guide.
If required to specify the server name, provide the virtual name of the server.
- Run the following commands:
/usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -e -j scnb-hars
The NetBackup resources are brought online and Solaris Cluster resumes monitoring the NetBackup resource.
- Bring the NetBackup resource group offline and online.
- Post upgrade installation, verify if the security certificates are deployed on all the nodes within the cluster. If not, generate security certificates on all the nodes within the cluster.
For more information on deploying a certificate in a clustered NetBackup setup, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
- On each node where NetBackup server is installed, upgrade NetBackup options.
You must freeze the NetBackup group before you install any options.
- Verify that NetBackup can failover properly in the cluster.
