Installing Emergency Engineering Binaries (EEBs)
Emergency Engineering Binaries (EEBs) provide critical fixes that are not included as part of the ISO image. If you factory reset a node or install the NetBackup Flex Scale ISO image on the node to start a fresh deployment, you do not have access to product REST APIs or the UI. In such cases if you are required to install EEBs, you must install these manually using the following procedure.
Note:
Use a computer that is connected to the appliance and the Internet to complete the following steps:
- Open an SSH session and log on to the appliance node as the admin user.
- In the NetBackup Flex Scale Appliance shell menu, use the following command to open NFS shares:
system software share open
- On the local computer, complete the following steps:
Mount the NFS share:
Node_management_IP:/system/inst/patch/incoming
where Node_management_IP is the IP address that is assigned to the eth1 network interface of the node.
Download the EEB from the Veritas Support website site (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US). On the Veritas Support website click Downloads, which redirects you to the Download Center. You must sign in with your Veritas account credentials to download the EEB.
Copy the EEB from your local computer to the mapped directory.
Unmount or unmap the share.
- On the appliance node, in the NetBackup Flex Scale Appliance shell menu, enter the following command to close the NFS shares:
system software share close
- To display the list of downloaded updates, enter the following command. Make a note of the EEB that you want to install.
system software downloaded
- To install the EEB, enter the following command:
system software install-update update-name=eeb_name
where eeb_name is the name of the EEB that you want to install. Ensure that the name you enter matches the name of the EEB that was downloaded to the appliance.
The following message is displayed after the EEB is installed successfully:
- [Info] V-409-777-7003: Installed EEB eeb_name successfully.
- To verify that the EEB you installed is displayed in the list of installed EEBs, run the following command:
system software installed-eebs
