NetBackup™ Installation Guide

Special installation guidelines for Linux clustered environments

Use the following guidelines when you install NetBackup in clustered systems:

  • Ensure that each node in the NetBackup cluster can run the ssh command. The root user must be able to perform a remote login to each node in the cluster without entering a password. This remote login is necessary for installation and configuration of the NetBackup server and any NetBackup options. After installation and configuration are completed, it is no longer required.

  • You must install, configure, and start the cluster framework before you install NetBackup. For additional installation prerequisites and installation notes, see the NetBackup Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide.

  • You must have defined a virtual name using DNS, NIS, or /etc/hosts. The IP address is defined at the same time. (The virtual name is a label for the IP address.) Use this virtual name and IP address only for the NetBackup resource.
