About the DR_PKG_MARKER_FILE environment variable
If an external CA was configured on the primary server before a disaster and the DR installation is not successful, you can configure the DR installation to wait to restart the services after it recovers the DR package. This window provides the opportunity to correct or reconfigure the external CA configuration settings.
For more information on external CA-signed certificates, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
Note:
Only use this marker file if you encounter DR installation failures.
To configure the DR_PKG_MARKER_FILE environment variable to hold the installation process
- Set an environment variable with the name DR_PKG_MARKER_FILE with a touch file.
- Start the DR installation.
Towards the end of the DR installation, NetBackup finds the touch file present on the file system and waits before it starts the NetBackup services.
- Change the external CA configuration settings.
- After you complete the changes, delete the touch file that contains the DR_PKG_MARKER_FILE environment variable.
- The Installer resumes the installation process.
