About configuring the primary and the media servers

You must configure the primary and the media servers before you configure the NetBackup client. The procedures for configuring primary and media servers are very similar. However, Cohesity recommends that you configure all server information such as storage devices and volumes from the primary server. Following this configuration sequence helps ensure that the primary server properly administers the media servers.

For initial NetBackup server configuration, in the NetBackup web UI and select Settings > Getting Started. Configure the storage devices, volumes, and the catalog backup and then create a backup policy.

Note:

Before beginning the NetBackup configuration for each HANA appliance, check that libelf.so.0 is linked to the libelf.so.0.8.12 file in each HANA box operating system. The location of the library is /usr/lib64/.

If the libelf.so.0.8.12 file is not present at the /usr/lib64/ location then copy the libelf.so.0.8.12 file from install of SUSE SLES 11 SP1 to /usr/lib64/.

Run the following commands:

  • cd /usr/lib64/

  • ln -s libelf.so.0.8.12 libelf.so.0

For more details about the libelf.so.0.8.12 file error, see the following article:
