README
March 22, 2010
Requirement: NB_CLT_60_7S02_M NB_60_7_M
================================================================================
This pack provides fixes for Veritas NetBackup (tm) UNIX servers. NetBackup
UNIX Add-on products, Database Agents, and the Java Interface have separate
packs.
The UNIX CLT pack, which is required to be installed with this server pack,
contains a full replacement of all client binaries for all platforms. The local
CLT binaries for this server may require as much as 50MB of free space in the
/usr partition to install, depending on platform. If client binaries are being
loaded on a server to be pushed to clients, as much as 400MB of free space may
be required in the /usr partition.
On AIX, installing this UNIX server pack requires more than 1.2GB of free space
in the /usr partition. For more information, please refer to the following

PACK DEPENDENCIES
=================
-- NB_60_7_M_<6 digit number>.tar must be installed before this
pack is installed.
-- NB_CLT_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.tar must be installed before this
pack is installed.
-- Installation of this pack requires version 1.33.10.18
of Vrts_pack.install script.
-- This pack contains runtime updates to Veritas Private
Branch Exchange (PBX). If you did not install PBX from a NetBackup
6.0 media kit (GA or 6.0MP4), you may have an older version of PBX
from another Veritas Product. This pack requires that
you have a minimum PBX level of 1.2.2.41. If you have an older version,
you must install 1.2.2.41 from a NetBackup 6.0 media kit. You can
determine your PBX version from the /opt/VRTSpbx/build_version
file. Newer versions are compatible with this pack.
-- Deliverables for the agents or options such as DB2, Oracle, Veritas
Storage Migrator (tm) (VSM) do not always change between patches and
could result in a patch not being delivered. When upgrading or patching
client software, any agent software must be upgraded or patched to the
latest or matching level at the same time as the client software.
-- Added support for multiple ACSLS servers to Windows. This requires
all Windows ACS customers upgrade to SUN/STK Libattach version 1.4.1.

III. DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS
==========================
1) Download the NB_CLT_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.tar and
NB_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.<server>.tar files into the
/tmp directory,
where <6 digit number> is an internal tracking identifier
where <server> is alpha_5, hp_ux, hpia64,linux, linux64, rs6000, solaris
NOTE: NB_CLT_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.tar has the client binaries and
NB_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.<server>.tar has the server binaries and BOTH
must be installed.
NOTE: Only if Bare Metal Restore is installed, download and extract the
NB_BMR_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.<platform>.tar into the /tmp directory
and download and extract the NB_BBS_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>
<platform>.tar into the /tmp directory.
2) Extract the NB_CLT_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.tar and the
NB_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.<server>.tar files.
tar xvf NB_CLT_60_7S02_M_<6 digit number>.tar

IV. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================
** The content of this online Readme supersedes the information in the Readme
contained in the download. **
NOTE: Click on the "Download Now" link, near the bottom of this document
prior to running the following installation procedure for this pack.
Before installing this pack, please review the following items:
- Symantec recommends that you perform catalog backups before and after you
apply this pack.
- If you are planning to install this pack as a part of an upgrade from a 5.x
release then it is important that you understand that the existing NetBackup
databases must be in a consistent state prior to beginning the upgrade.
Information and tools to assist you in determining the current state of
your database, as well as instructions to help you address any
inconsistencies that you might discover can be viewed on the NetBackup
Upgrade Portal, a part of the Symantec NetBackup Support Web site.
http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/support/overview.jsp?pid=15143
- If you are upgrading from 5.x to 6.0, you must install this pack
before you run nbpushdata. Failure to install this pack first
will result in a failed upgrade.
- On AIX, do not use a NetBackup GUI running on any other host to monitor the
NetBackup jobs/processes/daemons/devices on the host being patched during the
installation. On AIX this may cause text busy errors to occur during the
installation. The safest approach is to not have any GUIs running on remote
systems which are accessing an AIX host during pack application.
For pack installation on a UNIX Cluster Environment:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Before you install this pack, make sure that NetBackup is at
release level 6.0 and configured to run in a cluster.
2) Freeze the NetBackup group. (By freezing the group, you will prevent a
'failover' from occurring during a patch installation).
3) Install this pack on the inactive node(s) of the cluster
(perform steps 1 through 3 below).
IMPORTANT: If you are using HP Service Guard and upgrading from a
pre-NetBackup 6.0 MP4 version, you must complete the installation of
this pack to the inactive node(s), and then copy the following file from
an inactive node to the active node before beginning the pack install on
the active node:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster/util/monitor
4) Install this pack on the active node of the cluster (perform steps listed
below).
5) If the cluster is in a faulted state, clear the fault.
6) Unfreeze the NetBackup group.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As root on the NetBackup Master Server:
1) Close the NetBackup user interfaces.
- Make sure the NetBackup server has no active jobs running (for example,
backups, restores, or duplications).
- If a database agent is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the database
services are stopped.
2) Install NB_60_7S02_M and NB_CLT_60_7S02_M pack binaries.
cd /tmp
/bin/sh Vrts_pack.install
NOTE: Selecting the server pack automatically installs the client pack if the
client (CLT) .Z file and the README exist in the installation directory. The
server install fails if the (CLT) .Z file and the README are not present and
the CLT pack has not been previously installed. The client pack will NOT be
installed automatically during a reinstall of the server pack.
3) The Vrts_pack.install script will prompt you to restart daemons.
Otherwise, after the pack installation has completed, run:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
4) The pack install logs can be found in /usr/openv/pack/pack.history once the
installation is complete.
NOTE: Again, Symantec recommends that you perform catalog backups after you
have applied this pack.
=========================
V. UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
Note: This will ONLY uninstall the pack from your local machine.
1) Close the NetBackup user interfaces.
- Make sure the NetBackup server has no active jobs running (for example,
backups, restores, or duplications).
- If a database agent is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the database
services are stopped.
2) Change the directory to the patch save directory.
Substitute the pack name for ${PACK} in the following command:
cd /usr/openv/pack/${PACK}/save
3) Run the un-install script:
./Vrts_pack.uninstall
4) Verify that the pack uninstalled successfully by checking:
/usr/openv/pack/pack.history.
5) If necessary, restart the NetBackup and Media Manager daemons:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start
