Veritas NetBackup Flex Scale software components are packaged in the form of an ISO image file. To be able to install NetBackup Flex Scale in your environment, you must first download the ISO image from the Veritas product website.

ISO file name | Size |
|---|---|
| 9 GB (approximately) |
Note:
The actual ISO file name may vary depending on the product release version.
After downloading the ISO file locally, Veritas recommends that you use md5sum to verify that the MD5 hash value of the file matches with the one provided on the website. This validates the data integrity of the downloaded file.
To verify the MD5 hash of the installer file
- Run the following command from the location where you have downloaded the installer file:
md5sum filename
Here, substitute
filenamewith the actual ISO image file name.The output of the command displays a unique alphanumeric code and that is the MD5 hash value of the file.
For example, your command output might resemble the following:
>> md5sum nbfs-1.3-20201104200100.iso
>>
c6779ec2960296ed9a04f08d67f64422 nbfs-1.3-20201104200100.isoHere, the value "
c6779ec2960296ed9a04f08d67f64422" represents the hash value. - Make a note of the hash value and match it with the value published on the website from where you downloaded the file.
If the hash values match, it indicates that the file and its contents are authentic and have not been tampered with.
Once you have verified the data integrity of the file, you can use the ISO to install the software on the server nodes.
