Installing the Symantec NetBackup v6.5 Client
Note This procedure assumes that you are using the default SnapServer
configuration; and you have created a directory called agent (to which to copy your
agent/client files) on the default share (SHARE1), such that the path to the directory
is /shares/SHARE1/agent.
To install the Symantec NetBackup v6.5 Client, do the following:
Prepare the SnapServer
1 Connect to the server over SSH.
Note SSH v2 is required. If you fail to connect to the server, ensure that your SSH
client is configured to connect via SSH v2.
2 Log in as admin (using the password for the admin account).
3 You are placed into the CLI shell. However, a standard Linux shell must be used
to install the agent. To launch a shell, type the following command and press
Enter:
osshell
4
Change to root by entering the following command:
su -
Give the root password (same as admin password).
5 Select a volume on which to put a directory called openv.
Note If you later delete the volume the openv directory is on, you will need to
reinstall the agent.
cd /hd
ls
[lists all the volumes]
df -h [shows volume usage]
6 Determine which volume has the most available space by looking at the Avail
column in the volume usage table. Change directory to the volume with the most
available space.
cd [volumename]
where [volumename] is the name of the volume with the most available space.
ls [lists what is on that volume]
7 Create a directory called openv on that volume:
mkdir openv
