Introduction About the NetWorker product The EMC® NetWorker® product is a storage management software suite that provides backup, recovery, and other services to hosts with a wide variety of operating systems and data types. NetWorker products for different operating systems are interoperable. NetWorker provides the flexibility to design a storage management system that works best with the current computing environment.
Introduction Before you install NetWorker on a storage node host, ensure that the operating system recognizes the devices. NetWorker supports a variety of media types and devices including: ◆ Disk devices ◆ Stand-alone tape devices ◆ Tape devices in an autochanger or silo tape library The term autochanger refers to a variety of backup devices: • • • • • • Autoloader Carousel Datawheel Jukebox Library Near-line storage The NetWorker 7.
Introduction Table 1 on page 20 summarizes the different databases a NetWorker server uses to manage a datazone. Table 1 NetWorker server database functions Database Function Client File Index (CFI) Tracks the files that belong to a save set. There is one client file index for each configured NetWorker client. The client file indexes can grow to become prohibitively large over time and negatively impact backup performance. Media database Tracks: (mm) • The volume name.
Introduction The Console server uses: ◆ ◆ Embedded Apache server software to: • Download of the Console jar files. • Startup of the Console server daemon or service. Embedded Sybase SQL Anywhere software to store reporting and Console server configuration information. You can install the Console server software package on an AIX, Linux, Solaris, or Microsoft Windows host. The Console server software requires the NetWorker client software.

Software Requirements CHAPTER 3 Software Requirements This chapter provides the general software requirements for the NetWorker software: ◆ ◆ ◆ Multi-locale datazone requirements ........................................................................ 26 TCP/IP requirements ............................................................................................... 28 IPv6 protocol...........................................................................................................
Software Requirements Multi-locale datazone requirements This section provides information to consider, when using the NetWorker software in a multi-locale datazone. In a multi-locale datazone, you can configure hosts to run in different locales. The NetWorker software supports a multi-locale datazone. The NetWorker command line interface (CLI), the Console server graphical user interface (NMC GUI) and the NetWorker User program are I18N compliant.
Software Requirements ◆ Enable the corresponding language locale on the Console server. ◆ Install the corresponding language pack included with the NetWorker software package on the NetWorker client, server, storage node, and Console server. The NetWorker software does not support locales that the operating system defines or code sets that remap characters that have a special meaning for file systems, for example De_DE.646.
Software Requirements To display non-English textual elements, the dates, the times, and the numbers in the NMC GUI ensure that you: ◆ Install the appropriate NetWorker language package on the client. ◆ Define the LC_ALL and LANG environment variables to match the NetWorker language pack installed.
Software Requirements For example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 Most newer operating systems configure the IPv6 loopback interface, by default. To determine if the IPv6 loopback interface is configured on the host, use operating system tools such as ifconfig on UNIX and ipconfig on Windows. On UNIX systems, the device name of the loopback interface is usually lo or lo0. NetWorker does not support temporary or link-local IPv6 addresses.

Updating from a previous release manually to upgrade the database after the install is complete. If you see this message, then: 1. Review the gstdbupgrade.log file and correct the errors. The gstdbupgrade.log appears in the following directories, by default: • Solaris: /opt/LGTOnmc/logs • AIX and Linux: /opt/lgtonmc/logs • Windows: NMC_installation_directory\Management\GST\logs 2. Start the database conversion manually: a. On UNIX: gstdbupgrade.
Updating from a previous release For Console server updates only, reconfiguring LDAP When the Console server uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication, attempts to log in to the Console server after an update may fail with the error: Problem contacting server Servername: Connection refused:connect and the EMC GST daemon stops. When you see this error and the gstd process is not running: 1.
Updating from a previous release NetWorker 8.0 and later introduces support for a new environment variable file. This file, nsrrc, is sourced before starting the nsrexecd and nsrd processes. Subsequent NetWorker software updates do not overwrite this new file. Add environment variables previously defined in the NetWorker startup files to this new file: 1. Review the configuration files you copied in “UNIX only, backing up the configuration files” on page 42 for a list of defined environment variables.
Updating from a previous release By default, the Clone Storage Node attribute for each storage node resource does not contain any values. If required, after updating the NetWorker server software, modify the Clone Storage Node attribute for each storage node. The section Directing clones to a special storage node in the NetWorker 8.1 Administration Guide provides more information. Optional, converting VCB client backups to VADP The NetWorker 7.
Updating from a previous release ◆ ◆ “Updating NetWorker products by using Client Push” on page 58 “Troubleshooting client push” on page 61 Client Push requirements Before you use Client Push, ensure that the datazone satisfies the Client Push requirements. Table 5 on page 52 summarizes the Client Push datazone requirements.
Updating from a previous release Preparing the Media Kit Location During a client push operation, the NetWorker server obtains the source NetWorker software packages from the software repository, located on the NetWorker server then pushes the software to the target host. The Media Kit Location contains the source NetWorker 8.1 software packages used to update the NetWorker target hosts. The Media Kit Location can be the NetWorker software DVD or a directory that contains the extracted software packages.
Updating from a previous release To prepare the proxy media kit location: 1. On the NetWorker server, extract each compressed software package into the Media Kit Location. 2. On the proxy host: a. Create a directory for the Proxy Media Kit Location. b. Extract a copy of the cross platform software packages to the Proxy Media Kit Location.
Updating from a previous release 10. On the Add software products to repository window, select Yes, click Next. 11. On the Media Kit Location window, specify the path to the Media Kit location, click Next. 12. The Select Products window appears a list of detected software packages in the repository. Select the products to add to the repository, click Next.
Updating from a previous release 2. Use the nsrpush command to add packages, one at time to the repository: nsrpush -a -p Product_Name -v version -P platform -R repo_location -U|-W -m media_kit_location -c cross-platform_client -C cross_platform_media_kit_location where: • Product_Name is the name of the product: – NetWorker – “NetWorker Module for Microsoft Application” – “NetWorker Module for Databases and Applications” • version is the version of the software product, for example 8.
Updating from a previous release "windows_host" -C "D:\temp\downloads" Example 2 To add the 64-bit Solaris package to a repository on a Window NetWorker server host, where: ◆ The media kit location is D:\temp\downloads ◆ The proxy media kit location on the cross-platform host solaris_host is /tmp/prod Type the following command: nsrpush -a -p NetWorker -v 8.
Updating from a previous release Do not use Back button until the inventory job completes. If the inventory operation fails, review to the nsrcpd.raw file on the NetWorker server. Optionally, select the failed operation and click Retry client job to reattempt the inventory. 6. Click Finish. Inventorying installed products by using nsrpush Use the nsrpush command to generate an inventory of the NetWorker software installed on the target hosts.
Updating from a previous release 5. A list of hosts and installed products appears. Select the hosts and products, and click Next. If the wizard displays multiple versions of the same NetWorker product, then only select one version. When you select mutiple versions of a product for the same client, the wizard only updates the client to the last version that you select. 6.
Updating from a previous release ◆ To query a host for a list of installed NetWorker products, type: nsrpush -s -all|hostname... where -all queries each inventoried client and hostname specifies the name of a host to query. Separate multiple hostnames with spaces. ◆ To update all hosts in a datazone with the exception of certain hosts, add the clients to the exclude list: nsrpush -e hostname... where hostname is the name of the host to exclude from the update process.
Updating from a previous release If the update operation fails, review the nsrcpd.raw file on the NetWorker server or nw_install.server_name.log file in the tmp directory on the target host for error messages. Troubleshooting client push This section provides resolutions to common client push issues.
Updating from a previous release Remote error running the tmp space check command on client This message appears when you specify the -Tp option to update the software but nsrpush has encountered an error accessing the specified path. To resolve this issue, ensure that the: ◆ Path exists on the target host. When the path does not exist, nsrpush copies the temporary files to C:\ on Windows and in the root NetWorker installation directory on UNIX. For example, /usr on Linux.
Updating from a previous release Use the appropriate operating system sections of this guide to remove the 32-bit version of the NetWorker software and install the 64-bit version of the NetWorker software. ◆ When 64-bit NetWorker server on UNIX has the 32-bit version of the NetWorker software installed, you cannot update to the 64-bit version of the NetWorker software. EMC Professional Services or a certified EMC partner must perform this update.

Linux Installation ◆ “Fedora” on page 87 RHEL, RedFlag, Oracle Enterprise Server, RedFlag Asianux, SuSE and CentOS On Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Oracle Enterprise Server (OES), and RedFlag, you can use rpm or yum to install the NetWorker software. Using the yum program allows you to install the required operating system packages automatically, as necessary. On SuSE, you can only use rpm to install the NetWorker software.
Linux Installation When the operating system packages that NetWorker requires are missing, the rpm command provides a list of missing packages and does not install the NetWorker software. Manually install missing package dependencies then run the rpm command again. Table 17 List of NetWorker software packages required for each installation type Installation type Packages Client software lgtoclnt-nw*.rpm Storage Node software lgtoclnt-nw*.rpm lgtonode*.rpm Server software lgtoclnt-nw*.
Linux Installation Ubuntu 10 requires the libstdc++5 package but the Ubuntu software package repository does not include this package. Manually download and install the libstdc++5 package for Debian before installing the NetWorker client software. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libstdc++5 provides more information. To install the NetWorker software: 1. From a system prompt, run the dpkg command. For example: dpkg -i lgtoclnt_XXX.deb where lgtoclnt_XXX.
Linux Installation For example: # yum localinstall lgtoclnt*.rpm Packages skipped because of dependency problems: compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.1.x86_64 from fedora glibc-2.14.90-24.fc16.9.i686 from updates ksh-20120801-1.fc16.x86_64 from updates libXp-1.0.0-16.fc15.x86_64 from fedora nss-softokn-freebl-3.13.5-1.fc16.i686 from updates The yum command does not successfully install the NetWorker software. b. Use the yum program to manually install the missing package dependencies.
Linux Installation rpm -ivh --nodeps lgtoclnt*.rpm lgtoman*.rpm Post installation consideration for st tape devices By default, the Linux kernel configures up to a maximum of 128 st tape devices. As a result, the inquire command and the Scan for Devices option in the NMC GUI, display a maximum of 128 st devices. To resolve this issue, modify the st module of the Linux kernel and then recompile the kernel. This increases the maximum number of allowable st devices that the OS can create.
Linux Installation 1. If you have already installed the NetWorker client software on the host: • Confirm that the NetWorker Remote Exec daemon, nsrexecd, is started: ps -ef | grep nsr • Start nsrexecd, if required: /etc/init.d/networker start 2. Install NetWorker from the directory that contains the extracted NetWorker software packages. On RHEL use yum or rpm to install the NetWorker software. On SuSE you can only use rpm. • To use yum, type: yum localinstall --nogpgcheck lgtoclnt*.rpm lgtonmc*.
Linux Installation Do not use port numbers that are already in use. For example: The Console server uses port 2638 for TDS protocol communications with the Console database.
