| Article:TECH163000 | | | Created: 2011-06-22 | | | Updated: 2011-07-06 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH163000 |
Problem
A pre-installation check was omitted from the NetBackup 5000 and 5020 Appliance installer included in the 1.3.0.1 update. If this check is not performed, a condition which prevents successful installation may not be detected and corrected. This can lead to a failure during installation, forcing a rollback of the Appliance.
Error
During installation, messages similar to the following may be displayed:
+ Upgrading to NBU50x0_1.3.0.1

Environment
What is Affected:
This issue affects NetBackup 5000 & 5020 Appliances when upgrading to 1.3.0.1.
Initial installations of 1.3.0.1 are NOT affected.
Cause
This failure can only occur on Appliances where hardware email notifications have been configured.
The conditions leading to the "duplicate key" error described above should be checked for prior to beginning an upgrade. This check was not performed in the 1.3.0.1 installer.
The 1.3.0.1B installer DOES contain this check and, if the condition is discovered, steps are taken to resolve the conflict prior to the upgrade. This allows the upgrade to succeed.
Solution
The 1.3.0.1B release (available now using the links in the "Related Articles" section) contains the formal resolution to this issue and may be used to upgrade NetBackup Appliances. The 1.3.0.1 release is no longer available from the support site.
Note: If an upgrade to 1.3.0.1 has already been performed and succeeded, there is no need to apply the 1.3.0.1B release as they are identical. Only the installation process is different.
If an upgrade to 1.3.0.1 has been attempted and the failure above is experienced, please contact Symantec technical support for assistance in rolling back the upgrade and applying 1.3.0.1B.
