Upgrade failure rollback steps
After a successful upgrade to NetBackup 10, the permissions on the legacy log directories are more restrictive. If the NetBackup 11.1 upgrade fails, you must roll back the permissions changes associated with the upgrade, otherwise NetBackup may not work correctly.
To roll back the permissions on Linux:
- Go to the
/usr/openv/tmpdirectory. - Run the command shown:
. recoverPermissions.txt
To roll back the permissions on Windows:
- Go to the
install_path\NetBackup\logs\directory. - Run the command shown:
icacls install_path\NetBackup\logs\ /restore install_path\NetBackup\Temp\recoverPermissions.txt /C
The /C switch is critical as it lets the operation proceed despite any failures. Without this switch, the operation stops if there is any failure.
