PRODUCT DEPENDENCIES
====================
-- NetBackup 52xx Appliance software version 2.0 must be installed on a
NetBackup 52xx master server or media server appliance before you install
this software release update.
-- If the current version of your appliance is 2.0 and you want to upgrade to
2.0.1, you must use the appliance shell menu. You cannot use the
administrative Web UI to perform this upgrade.
-- If you use the appliance in a media server role, this upgrade requires a
NetBackup 7.1 master server or higher.
-- The software upgrade and Rollback must be run from the appliance console and
should not be interrupted during the process.
-- Before you begin the upgrade process or a Rollback process, ensure that
there are no backup jobs currently running or scheduled to run during
the process.
-- During installation of this release update, all NetBackup services are shut
down and restarted automatically. The services are also shutdown and
restarted when you perform a Rollback.
-- Please make sure that the NetBackup master server is turned on and running.
In addition, ensure that the NetBackup processes are started on both the
master server and the media server.
-- The following dependencies pertain to client upgrades:
- So if you have a client that is installed with a non-appliance NetBackup,
do not upgrade it from the appliance. Make sure that you upgrade that
client with a non-appliance version of NetBackup.
- If you have clients that were installed from a NetBackup appliance 2.0
version then you should use the NetBackup appliance 2.0.1 version software
to upgrade the client. Do not use a non-appliance NetBackup update to
upgrade the client.
- If you are performing clean installs on Windows clients, you must ensure
that you install the NetBackup appliance 2.0 (7.1.0.5) packages
from the 2.0.1 NetBackup appliance update first, and then apply the
2.0.1 (7.1.0.6) packages from the NetBackup appliance software update.
- For UNIX client installs, you can use the same NetBackup appliance 2.0.1
(7.1.0.6) package for clean installations and upgrades.
=================================
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
=================================
Steps to install the 2.0.1 software update on the NetBackup 52xx Appliance:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. You should perform this procedure from a computer that is connected to the
appliance as well as to the Internet. This ensures that you can download the
release update from the Symantec Support Web site to the appliance.
2. Open an SSH session and log on to the appliance as an administrator.
3. Enter the following command to open the NFS and the CIFS shares:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > Share Open
4. Map or mount the appropriate appliance NFS or CIFS share directory using the
steps below:
- UNIX: -mkdir -p /mount/<appliance-name>
mount <appliance-name>:/inst/patch/incoming /mount/<appliance-name>
- Windows: Map the network drive "\\<appliance-name>\incoming patches"
on your computer.
NOTE: On Windows systems, you are prompted to provide the user name,
"admin", and its corresponding password.
5. Download and Unzip or untar the release update from the Symantec Support
site. The following URL indicates the download location for the
NetBackup 5200 release updates.

For this release the release update .rpm file name is split into multiple
files with the following filenames:
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.1of3
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.2of3
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.3of3
6. Join these files using the command below:
Windows:
copy /b SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.1of3+
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.2of3+
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.3of3
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
UNIX:
cat SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.1of3
SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64-rpm-split.2of3

SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
7. Compute the md5 value and file size for SYMC_NBAPP_update-2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
and verify that it matches the values below
MD5 : e3920556eb19885181a69640996f0f5e
file size: 3.9G(4095359066 bytes)
8. Copy this update rpm to the mounted share.
NOTE: During the copy process do not run any commands on the appliance.
Doing so might cause the update install to fail.
9. Unmap or unmount the shared directory after you have copied the update rpm
into the mounted share.
10. Enter the following command to close the NFS and the CIFS shares:
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > Share Close
This moves the update from the share directory to its proper location.
(You are not notified that this move has occurred.)
NOTE: If you run any of the following commands before you run the "Share
Close" command, the update is moved from the share directory
location to its proper location. You must still run the "Share Close"
command to ensure that the NFS and the CIFS shares are closed.
- List Version
- List Details All
- List Details Base
- Share Open
- Share Close
11. Enter the following command to list the available release updates on
the appliance. Note the name of the uploaded release update.
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > List Downloaded
12. Switch to the appliance console and enter the following command to install
the release update. Use the name of the release update rpm from Step 8.
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > Install <patch_name>
Where <patch_name> is the name of the release update to install. You must
ensure that the name you enter matches the update name that you uploaded on
the appliance.
13. The installation takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and the
appliance reboots after the installation is completed. You can use the
following command to check that the appliance version is 2.0.1.
Main_Menu > Manage > Software > List Version
14.After the reboot, the appliance will run a self-diagnostic test once
the disk pools are back online. You can refer to the results in
/log/self_test__<date>.txt for the results of this self test.
