NetBackup™ Installation Guide

How the installation script works

When you install NetBackup server software, client software is also installed.

When you install NetBackup 10.1.1, the following options are also installed if the platform supports them:

  • BMR Primary Server

  • NDMP

  • Veritas Product Authentication and Authorization (NetBackup Access Control)

  • Vault

  • BMR Boot Server

  • DB2

  • Encryption

  • Informix

  • VxUpdate agent

  • Lotus Notes

  • Oracle

  • SAP

  • Snapshot Client

  • Sybase

After installation is complete, a valid license key for each option must be entered to enable its functionality. Each option must also be configured as needed.

In addition to server software and options, the installation script performs the following tasks:

Host names

Places the host name in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the server.

For clustered environments, the script places the virtual host name in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the server.

Automatic startup and shutdown scripts

Adds the automatic startup and shutdown scripts to the appropriate directories on the various supported platforms.

PBX

If the computer where you install NetBackup does not already have PBX and the platform supports it, the installation script installs PBX.

If PBX already exists on the computer, the installation script performs one of the following tasks:

  • Updates the existing version if it is older than the version that is included with 10.1.1.

  • Does not update PBX if the existing version is the same or later than the version that is included with 10.1.1.
