Introduction The Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX Installation Guide contains instructions on how to install Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX on a client workstation. MPE/iX is the operating system for Hewlett-Packard’s HP 3000 business servers. Legato NetWorker provides enterprise storage management capability to the HP 3000-UNIX-NT coexistence market. The Legato NetWorker Clientpak for MPE/iX relies on HP’s TurboSTORE software to interface with MPE/iX.
Installing NetWorker on a Client Installing NetWorker on a Client This guide provides instructions for installing the NetWorker data storage management software on MPE/iX client systems. Before installing NetWorker on your MPE/iX clients, you must install NetWorker on a server; otherwise, NetWorker will not work properly.
• • Turn the parallelism attribute on and off for server-initiated backups Turn the parallelism attribute on and off for client-initiated recovery operations For more information on setting variables, see “Configuring the MPE Client on the NetWorker Server” (on page 13). Planning the Installation The Legato NetWorker software is distributed on tape.
Loading the NetWorker Software Loading the NetWorker Software This section describes how to load the NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX software on a client with a local tape drive. Before you load NetWorker, verify that your system recognizes the tape drive. To load the software, follow these steps: 1. Log on as the system manager: : HELLO MANAGER.SYS 2. Put the Legato NetWorker tape in the tape drive. 3. Set the following file equation: : FILE T;DEV=TAPE 4.
Important: You should not carry out any other work as NETWRKR.SYS. To install the ClientPak software, follow these steps: 1. Change directories to the legato directory: : CHDIR /legato 2. Begin the installation with the following command: : ./NSRIZE INSTALL The following script text is displayed on the screen: NetWorker(TM) - Release 5.0 Copyright (c) 1990-1997, Legato Systems, Inc.

Manually Creating the MPE Group Installing the NSRHELP pages. NetWorker installation was successful. Once the installation is complete, if you created the MPE group automatically, you must now create the MPE user (see “Creating the MPE User” (on page 11)). If you did not create the MPE group automatically, you must create the MPE group manually and you must create the user.
Do you wish to continue using the existing NETWRKR.SYS [yes]? [Enter] Installing the NetWorker executables. Making the symbolic links. Installing the NSRHELP pages. NetWorker installation was successful. Creating the MPE User In order for automated NetWorker backups to run successfully, you must create the MPE user. The MPE user has the following capabilities: SF, BA,IA, PH, SM. To create the MPE user, enter the following commands: : NEWUSER NETWRKR.
Starting the NetWorker Daemons 4. Depending on whether you are adding one or more servers, insert the host NetWorker name or names between the double quotation marks in the JNSRSTRT file: – – If you have only one NetWorker server, enter the name as follows: !run nsrexecd.netwrkr.sys;info="-s jupiter" If you have more than one NetWorker server, enter all server names between the double quotation marks; as in the following example: !run nsrexecd.netwrkr.
Configuring the MPE Client on the NetWorker Server Before you use NetWorker to back up a NetWorker MPE client, you must add the client to the NetWorker server. When you add the client, you need to choose a network-wide backup schedule, assign a backup group, and choose backup directives. Make sure the server can access the client for its scheduled network-wide backups.
Configuring the MPE Client on the NetWorker Server Naming Conventions for MPE Volume Sets An MPE system volume, MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET, is automatically created when any HP system is installed. NetWorker identifies MPE/iX nonsystem volume sets by the appended tag _VOLUME_SET. For this reason, when you back up or recover nonsystem volume sets with NetWorker, you must add the tag _VOLUME_SET to the MPE volume set name.
Backing Up Multiple Save Paths in Parallel A new feature of the NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX allows you to back up multiple save paths in parallel. The actual number is limited by the "parallelism" value assigned to the parallelism attribute for MPE client configuration on the NetWorker server. The default setting for the parallel attribute is 4 parallel backups. The number of parallel backups is also limited by other clients competing for the NetWorker server's resources at the time of the backup.
Configuring the MPE Client on the NetWorker Server max_sessions=1, stype=save,\ path=/, level=full, diskno=0, max_sessions=1, stype=save,\ The SAVFS program always computes the correct maximal parallelism schedule when all save paths are volume set names. You can set the parallelism attribute to a lower value. You can also set the system variable NSR_MPE_SCHED_SAVES_PARALLELISM_OFF to completely turn off any parallelism.
Setting the NetWorker Time Zone to Match the HP STORE Process The HP STORE process runs in the Command Interpreter which uses the time zone set for your MPE client. NetWorker runs in POSIX, which by default is Greenwich Mean time. To correct a potential discrepancy between time zones, you must set the TZ variable. Important: You should always have the TZ variable set when doing serverinitiated backups, doing client-initiated backups, or recovering files and directories with NetWorker.
Configuring the MPE Client on the NetWorker Server backup images of any files that are changed during the backup. If you don’t set this system variable, the shadow logs are saved to the MPE volume set of the file that NetWorker and TurboSTORE are backing up currently. If you decide not to save the shadow log to a different volume set, then make sure that you have enough space on the volume set to which you are backing up.
Trying NetWorker on the Client You should try to run NetWorker on your HP 3000 client to make sure that the software was installed properly and that you can access the NetWorker server to back up, recover, archive, and retrieve MPE/iX client files. Refer to the Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX User’s Guide for instructions on using NetWorker to back up, recover, archive, and retrieve files.
