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.
