Hello,

I believe that you have install RALUS on the UNIX Server. Make sure that port 10000 is open on the UNIX box. Add the ROOT account in Backup Exec and access the box with the root account.

as well as verifying that the Remote Agent is running on the *nix machine, verify that the media server has a RALUS serial installed

Can you explain further how to verify (or install) that the media server has a "RALUS serial installed ?

Thank you for your response.

I found only the following license information:

Backup Exec 8.x and 9.x agent for Unix  both installed and licensed

Nothing that actually stated RALUS.

This is Backup Exec 11d by the way.

Any idea what the difference is between the agent for unix and a ralus license? I am not locating information on "RALUS License" in the manual?

Hello,

RALUS means Remote Agent for Linux/UNIX Servers.(RALUS).

OK,  this may seem redundant and rudamentory,  but can you please list exactly what is required to be installed on the windows storage server 2003 R2 machine and the Sun/Solaris machine. please include active directory requirements and/or passwd/group requirements...wether or not the unix machine has to be put into a domain - NIS or other...I know that the windows storage server cannot be a domain controller so....

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello,

If you are installing Backup Exec on Windows Stotage Server, you will require
1  : Base License : Backup Exec, RALUS License (No need to connect the UNIX machine in domain)
2  : Backup Exec account : Member of Domain Group and local admin on Storage Server
3  : UNIX ROOT password which we need to add in Backup Exec for Backing up UNIX Box.

Let me know if you have any queries

Any news here?

Sorry for the delayed response - got involved in other projects had to put this one on hold for a few days.
It appears i have a list of things out of place

I noticed that all of my windows servers are in a workgroup and not in a domain....

Also, these exerpts make me think I have several items I need to address...

...Unix and windows servers must be time synched by Master-client or both clients to a mstr.

...in order to add Unix into Act. Dir. it has to be added to the Act. Dir. in the domain controller.

Since windows storage server connot be a domain controller should I be looking at using one of the other servers running windows server instead of the windows storage server machine?

Should I not be looking at adding the unix to Act. Dir. ? it doesnt seem like this should be this involved to get the Backup Exec. to recognise the UNIX machine.

please advise

Hello,

I would recomend you to install Backup Exec on a Windows Machine (Server OR XP) which is connected in a Domain and not in a workgroup.

By the way...could you please let me know the version of backup exec...

Thanks,

I appreciate your responses.

I am running Backup Exec. 11.d

I think running the Backup on one of the windows servers and simply using the Storage server as the destination for the backkups which actually has tape drives connected to it would be a move in the right direction.

Any advice on wether I need to put the Unix server into Active Dir. or use another method for connection/authentication...?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks again I will get back with you when I can.

Ok,

I have verified that I have RALUS installed on the UNIX machine but I do not find that lisence on my windows machine.

Any way to get the lisence number off of the UNIX machine via cammand?

Hello,

So I have located the file that has all of the backup exec discs and license info.

Please advise on how to get the ralus license info onto my windows storage server. Am I able to do that from the ralus disc? run it on the windows machine or the unix - (its already installed on the unix) ? 

thank you,

Mark

Actually its ok ,

I did get the license info for ralus onto my windows server. Now I think I am down to creating a domain for the windows servers which are currently just in a workgroup and not a domain as well as placing the UNIX server in a domain.

Pleae advise,

mark

Dev T,

Thank you so much for your help.

After installing the correct license onto the windows server I am able to backup my UNIX server.

The confusing thing for me was that someone had already installed Backup Exec .... for unix  but not the Remote agent for Linux or Unix Servers.....

Thanks again,

Mark
