Creating an HP-UX SRT
When you create an HP-UX SRT, you are guided through the installation process, as follows:
Ignite software
If the SRT is to be used to restore PA-RISC2-based clients, use Ignite-UX 5.3x or later to create the SRT.
Operating system software
NetBackup client software
To create an HP-UX SRT
- On the boot server where you want to create the SRT, change to the following directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
- Enter the following command:
./bmrsrtadm
- When you are prompted, select the option to create a new SRT.
- Complete the command prompts as indicated in following table.
Enter the name of the SRT to create
The name of the SRT also is used for the directory that contains it.
Only alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_) character are allowed.
Enter the description of the new SRT
A description of the SRT.
SRT OS level
The levels you can create based on the operating system version of the boot server.
Enter desired Architecture(32/64)
Enter 64-bit HP-UX operating system.
Note:
During the NetBackup client installation into SRT step, bmrsrtadm gives the appropriate error message if there is any incompatibility between SRT OS architecture type and NetBackup client version.
Enter the directory in which to place the new SRT
The path to the directory in which to create the SRT. The root of the SRT (called the SRT path) is the path name to the SRT location, which includes the SRT name.
The default is either /export/srt or the directory where an SRT was last created successfully.
The directory must exist.
Location (device or directory path) of the Ignite install media.
BMR searches for the following directory (x.x is either 11.00 or 11.11):
Ignite-UX/FILE-SRV-x.x/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.x.x/ (BOSdatapath)
If the BOSdatapath directory is found, BMR expects the Ignite installation image to be in one of the following directories. (Note that -PA indicates Ignite version B41.)
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL/opt/ignite/data
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL/opt/ignite/boot
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL-PA/opt/ignite/data
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL-PA/opt/ignite/boot
If the BOSdatapath directory is not found, BMR looks for a file named INSTCMDS from the tar file supplied in one the following directories: (Note that -PA indicates Ignite version B41.)
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL/opt/ignite/data
Ignite-UX/BOOT-KERNEL-PA/opt/ignite/data
If the file is not found, BMR cannot install Ignite.
Enter the location (device or directory path) of the HP-UX x.x install media
The variable x.x is the SRT operating system version.
The following patches are required for this SRT: patch_list
These patches can be found on an HPE support plus media, or they can be downloaded from the HPE Web site.
Location (device or path) of the media that contains patch_list:
If your version of Ignite requires a patch, you are prompted to provide the path to the specific patch that the version requires.
Note:
To create SRT for HP-UX 11.11 PARISC, a new patch PHCO_36006 is required. This patch is available in HP-UX 11.11 'Dec_2009_11i_GoldPack' patch bundle. You need to download this patch bundle and then install the patch PHCO_36006 by providing the location of Dec_2009_11i_GoldPack.
Location (device or path) of the Veritas NetBackup install media
Enter the name of the device where the NetBackup client software installation media is inserted or enter the path to the installation image.
After you enter the device name or path, the NetBackup client installation procedure installs the client software into the SRT.
Do you want to continue? [y,n] (y) y
Enter y.
Do you want to install the NetBackup client software for this client? [y,n] (y)
Enter y.
Enter the name of the NetBackup server:
Enter any non-blank value. The server name is replaced at restore time with the correct values for the BMR client being restored.
Would you like to use servername as the configured name of the NetBackup client? [y,n] (y)
Accept the default or enter any nonblank value. The client name is replaced at restore time with the correct values for the BMR client being restored.
After you install the HP-UX and NetBackup software, the bmrsrtadm command provides options to install other software in the SRT. You can either add other software now or quit (you can add software later).
More information is available about how to add other software.
