Linux client install seems to hang
Hi,
I am trying to install a Linux 7.1 client on a Linux client server for some reason the install won’t start, it will go to the point where it say’s
“Installing PBX...
Please wait while installation is in progress...
However the install won’t go any further (no matter how long I wait) , has anyone had this issue before?

Have you trie running a trace or strace on the process to see what it's doing?
For first, can you post output of pstree command in hanging situation.
Also try to get strace for the process in bottom of process tree.

easy way...
as you Fyi – I have done linux client installs on similar servers and no issues at all.
copy the /usr/openv from the servers that you have already installed to the new server that you would like to install.
and then updates the /etc/services and inetd.conf files or the xinetd.d directory, as appropriate (by referring the installed client files)
and they try start netbackup and check how it works...
hope it helps..
See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH135628
NetBackup 7 does not require entries in services or inetd.conf.
NBU 7.x installation uses rpm to install these packages:
VRTSpbx
SYMCnbclt
SYMCnbjava
Possibly issues with rpm on this machine?

revaroo, lshikawa, Nagalla and Marianne..Thanks for your replies!
revaroo...no I didn't try running a trace or strace on the process I have not done that before is there a link on how that is done?
Yasuhisa, I have to check on that pstree command I haven't used that before either.
Marianne, It could be issues with the rpm on this machine is this something I can check or do I have to contact the servers admin?
Thanks again
One of the trace commands and/or pstree should point out probable issue with rpm.
Work with Linux sysadmin to troubleshoot. rpm commands can be used to test/query packages.

Marianne, Thanks for the information
All, I had sysadmin reboot the Linux server to see if that would correct the issue and was able to successfully installed the client.
Thanks for your replies!
