EMC NetWorker Release 8.1 SP1 Installation Guide

HP-UX Installation

Ensure that there is sufficient disk space on the host to contain both the compressed

NetWorker software package and the fully uncompressed files.

Table 13 on page 77 provides a list of NetWorker packages and the compressed and

uncompressed file sizes.

HP-UX 11iv3 requirements

Before you install the NetWorker software on HP-UX 11iv3, review the following

considerations:

◆

If you use stape on an HP-UX11iv3 NetWorker server or storage node, install patch

PHKL_36312 or later.

This will enhance tape device compatibility.

◆

For HP-UX NetWorker servers and storage nodes that use tape devices, install

PHKL_41474 or higher.

This is required for CDI support.

◆

If you backup the /dev directory to a local HP-UX 11iv3 storage node, then the backup

may fail and the system may fail to respond.

To avoid this issue, implement one of these options:

• Do not back up the /dev directory.

• Do not specify ALL in the client Save Set attribute or use a directive to exclude the

/dev directory from the backup.

• Do not specify save sets that include the /dev directory in the backup.

• Use a remote storage node.

HP-UX 11iv2 requirements

Before you install the NetWorker software on HP-UX 11iv2, ensure that you install the

PHSS_37500 and PHSS_39101 patches on the host.

HP-UX on PA-RISC requirements

This section describes the software considerations for HP-UX on PA-RISC.

Before you install the NetWorker client software on HP-UX RISC, install the following

patches on the host:

◆

QPK1123(B.11.23.0712.070a) 1185010 Quality Pack Depot
