II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
==============================

NOTE: Click on the "Download Now" link, near the bottom of this document
prior to running the following installation procedure for this pack.

There are two ways to install database agent maintenance pack software.

1. Remote Installation: Loads the software on a master server with
the intent of pushing database software out to affected clients.

2. Local Installation: Loads and installs the software only to this
local machine.

---

Remote Installation:

As root on the NetBackup Media/Master server:

NOTE: NB_CLT_60_5_M must be installed on affected clients prior to installing
this Maintenance Pack.

1) Install the Maintenance Pack binaries.

cd /tmp
/bin/sh Vrts_pack.install

Pick option 1 (Remote Installation) when prompted for the installation
method.

2) Run update_dbclients to push pack software affected database agent clients.
For more information on how to run update_dbclients, refer to the NetBackup
for Sybase System Administrator's Guide.

----

Local Installation:

NOTE: NB_CLT_60_5_M must be installed prior to installing this Maintenance
Pack.

As root on the NetBackup for Sybase client:

1) Install Maintenance Pack binaries.

cd /tmp
/bin/sh Vrts_pack.install

If the pack is being installed on a master/media server, pick option 2,
Local Installation,
when prompted.

This will install the updated NetBackup files for the Sybase library.

2) Execute the Sybase install script.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/sybase_config



============================
III. UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
============================
1) Close the NetBackup user interfaces.

If a database agent is being used, such as Sybase,
ensure that the database services are stopped.

2) Change 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) Only perform this step if the pack was originally pushed to remote clients
using update_dbclients. Please run update_dbclients after the pack was
successfully uninstalled on the master server.

NB_SYB_60_4_M
=============

Etrack Incident = ET784650

Description:
NetBackup communication between components that were separated by a
firewall did not work. For instance, when a master server was behind the
firewall and a media server was outside the firewall, all communication
from the master server had an internal host address that was not accessible
from outside systems.

This is the same when clients and other services are in question.

Additional Notes:
To activate NAT address replacement, systems outside of the firewall should
have the FIREWALL_IN parameter specified in their bp.conf/registry.

Format: FIREWALL_IN=hostname1,nat_address1|hostname2,nat_address2|...

Where: <hostname> is the name of the host system that needs to be accessed
and <nat_address> is the actual NAT address for the firewall to do
forwarding.
