Adding the NetBackup for NDMP license key on UNIX servers

NetBackup for NDMP installs on a UNIX or Linux system when the NetBackup server software is installed. No separate installation procedure is required. However, you must enter a valid license key to use NDMP. Perform the following procedure on the UNIX host that you want to be the NetBackup for NDMP server.

Note:

If you install in a clustered environment, first freeze the active node so that migrations do not occur during installation. For information about freezing a service group, see the clustering section in the NetBackup High Availability Administrator's Guide for the cluster software you are running.

To add the NetBackup for NDMP license key on UNIX servers

  1. Log on as root.
  2. Install NetBackup server and client software as explained in the NetBackup Installation Guide for UNIX and Linux.
  3. To make sure a valid license key for NetBackup for NDMP is registered, enter the following command to list and add keys:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/get_license_key

  4. If this NetBackup for NDMP server is not your primary server, install your NDMP license key on the primary server.
  5. In a clustered environment, perform these steps on each node in the cluster.
  6. If you install in a clustered environment, unfreeze the active node after the installation completes.

    For information about unfreezing a service group, see the clustering section in the NetBackup High Availability Administrator's Guide for the cluster software you are running.
