NetBackup 6.5 or older version is installed on a VxFS file
system (2056282)
NetBackup 6.5 or older version is installed on a VxFS file system. Before upgrading
to Veritas Storage Foundation (SF) 5.1 SP1, the user umounts all VxFS file systems
including the one which hosts NetBackup binaries (/usr/openv). While upgrading
SF 5.1 SP1, the installer fails to check if NetBackup is installed on the same
machine and uninstalls the shared infrastructure packages VRTSpbx, VRTSat,
and VRTSicsco, which causes NetBackup to stop working.
Workaround: Before you umount the VxFS file system which hosts NetBackup,
copy the two files / usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version and
/usr/openv/netbackup/version to /tmp directory. After you umount the NetBackup
file system, manually copy these two version files from /tmp to their original path.
If the path doesn’t exist, make the same directory path with the command: mkdir
-p /usr/openv/netbackup/bin and mkdir -p /usr/openv/netbackup/bin. Run
the installer to finish the upgrade process. After upgrade process is done, remove
the two version files and their directory paths.
How to recover systems already affected by this issue: Manually install VRTSpbx,
VRTSat, VRTSicsco packages after the upgrade process is done.
