NetBackup™ Installation Guide

Installing multiple versions of the NetBackup Administration Console on Windows

To install multiple versions of the NetBackup Administration Console in a mixed version environment, note the following restrictions and guidelines:

Updates

Only the most recent version of the NetBackup Administration Console can be updated (or patched).

auth.conf file

The NetBackup-Java Capabilities Authorization configuration file (auth.conf), must always be located in install_path\java. For example, C:\Program Files\Veritas\java. The file must exist there regardless of how many versions of the console are installed, or in which directories they are installed.

The file is only used for administering NetBackup on this Windows host, and default settings exist if the file is not present. For more information about these defaults, see the section "Authorizing NetBackup users" in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

Console version location

You must install each console version to a different folder.

To install earlier versions of the NetBackup-Java Administration Console

  1. Insert the appropriate version NetBackup Windows installation media with the NetBackup-Java Administration Console that you want to install.
  2. For NetBackup 7.0 and 7.1 versions, select Installation and click Java Windows Administration Console Installation.
  3. If a different version of the Java console has already been installed, specify a new folder location to prevent overwriting the earlier installation.

    For example, specify C:\Program Files\Veritas\nbjava65 for version 6.5 Java consoles.

  4. To complete the installation, click Finish.
