Veritas NetBackup™ Clustered Master Server Administrator's Guide

Installing or upgrading NetBackup options on VCS on UNIX/Linux

Install or upgrade NetBackup options (for example, Language Packs) on all cluster nodes where the NetBackup server is installed. In addition, freeze the NetBackup group before installing any options.

Note:

Before you upgrade any options, ensure that the NetBackup resource is online in the cluster. Also ensure that server processes are running on the active node.

To install or upgrade a NetBackup option on VCS on UNIX/Linux

  1. Enable the VCS configuration in read and write mode with haconf -makerw
  2. Freeze the NetBackup group with hagrp -freeze nbu_group_name -persistent.
  3. Run the following command on the active node to disable the NetBackup agent monitor:
    touch /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/frozen
    
  4. Install the options on each inactive node in the cluster where NetBackup is installed. See the specific NetBackup documentation for each option for instructions on installation and configuration.
  5. On the active node, perform the same installation.
  6. Unfreeze the NetBackup group with hagrp -unfreeze nbu_group _name -persistent
  7. Enable the VCS configuration in read-only mode with haconf -dump -makero
  8. Run the following command on the active node to enable the NetBackup agent monitor:
    rm -f /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/frozen
