Creating a Solaris SRT
When you create a Solaris SRT, you are guided through installing:
Operating system software
NetBackup Client software
You may want to consult the following additional information:
To create a Solaris SRT
- On the boot server where you want to create the SRT, change to the following directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
- Enter the following command:
./bmrsrtadm
- When you are prompted, select the option to create a new SRT.
- Complete the command prompts as indicated in following table.
Enter the name of the SRT to create
The name of the SRT also is used for the directory that contains it.
Only alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_) character are allowed.
Enter the description of the new SRT
A description of the SRT.
Enter desired level of Solaris/SunOS
Enter the levels you can create based on the operating system version of the boot server.
Enter the directory in which to place the new SRT
The path to the directory in which to create the SRT. The root of the SRT (called the SRT path) is the path name to the SRT location, which includes the SRT name.
The default is either /export/srt or the directory where an SRT was last created successfully.
The directory must exist.
Enter a [hostname:/]pathname containing a suitable Solaris x.x Boot CDROM or OS image location
Enter the following: the name of the device where the installation program is inserted OR the path where the OS installation image is extracted.
Note:
For Solaris 11.0, SRT creation requires "Automated Installer" ISO path which can be downloaded from Oracle website containing latest Solaris 11.0 update ISOs.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html.
Make sure that the ISO path is provided when prompted and not the mounted location.
After you enter the device name or path, the operating system is installed into the SRT.
Enter a [hostname:]/ pathname containing NetBackup client software
Enter the name of the device in which the NetBackup software installation media is inserted or enter the path to the installation program (named install).
After you enter the device name or path, the NetBackup installation procedure installs the client software into the SRT.
Do you want to continue? [y,n] (y) y
Enter y.
Do you want to install the NetBackup client software for this client? [y,n] (y)
Enter y.
Enter the name of the NetBackup server:
Enter any nonblank value. The server name is replaced at restore time with the correct values for the BMR client being restored.
Would you like to use servername as the configured name of the NetBackup client? [y,n] (y)
Accept the default or enter any nonblank value. The client name is replaced at restore time with the correct values for the BMR client being restored.
After you install the Solaris and NetBackup software, the bmrsrtadm command provides options to install other software in the SRT. You can either add other software now or quit (you can always add software later).
More information is available about how to add other software.
