Brand New Instalation Master Server
Updated: 05 Sep 2010 | 8 comments
Hello
I'll perfome a brand new install,
I have never installed from screatch a netbackup environment,
Master Server - RedHat
HBA FC ---> SUN SL24 Library
whitch manual should I study (follow)??
Any adivice ?
I had downloaded the Netbackup instalation guide for unix and Linux,
How should I do Linux to find the HBA (ok just install the drivers) and what should I do to make linux/netbackup to find the Library?
Thanks a Lot

try the cmds
You can find the HBA Details by the following commands in Linux.
df -h
Or use the cmd " lspci" to list all your pheripherals.
For HBA .lspci |grep -i -e fib -e hba
Thank you
Thanks a lot,
How does the netbackup find the Library ?
I'll have to DAS (Direct Actched Storage) because there is no Switch SAN
After installing the HBA, w/ drivers and stuff
what should be the next step??

Getting Started, Configure Storage Devices
if hardware is correctly installed, use the Netbackup Device Configuration Wizard during the install to discover the library.

I'll install
I 'll install a HBA FC
ok.. drivers compile and stuff..
How should I config the SL24 Library to Netbackup?
When I plug it will Netbackup find the Drive/ Robot?
There is no luxadm in red Hat Linux, I am really lost

Verifying the Linux drivers
To use SCSI tape drives and robotic libraries, the following drivers must be configured in the kernel or loaded as modules:
■ Linux SCSI generic (sg) driver. This driver allows pass-through commands to SCSI tape drives and control of robotic devices.
■ SCSI tape (st) driver. This driver allows the use of SCSI tape drives.
■ Standard SCSI driver.
■ SCSI-adaptor driver.
Verify that the drivers are installed and loaded in the kernel. You can use the
/sbin/lsmod
command to verify that the st and the sg drivers are loaded in the kernel. Example output is as follows:
Module Size Used by
sg 14844 0
st 24556 0
The standard Enterprise Linux releases have the sg and the st modules available for loading. The modules are loaded as needed. Also, you can load these modules if they are not in the kernel. Use the following commands:
/sbin/modprobe st
/sbin/modprobe sg
(from the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.)

Verifying the device configuration
The
/proc/scsi/scsifile shows all of the devices that the SCSI driver detects. To verify that the operating system can see the devices, run the following command from a terminal window to view this file:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
The output that is displayed should be similar to the following:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP
Model: C7200-8000
Rev: 1040
Type:
Medium Changer
ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
Vendor: QUANTUM
Model: DLT8000
Rev: 010F
Type:
Sequential-Access
ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: QUANTUM
Model: DLT8000
Rev: 010F
Type:
Sequential-Access
ANSI SCSI revision: 02
If the operating system detects the SCSI devices, NetBackup can discover them.
