NetBackup Client for Ubuntu 10.04
Updated: 08 Nov 2010 | 8 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
We have the NetBackup 6.0 server installed and I've tried installing the NetBackup 6.0 client and NetBackup 6.5 but both are giving me the error:
10/10/27@16:07:49 xinetd[2967]: ERROR: execv( /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd ) failed: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
10/10/27@16:07:49 xinetd[2968]: ERROR: execv( /usr/openv/bin/vnetd ) failed: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
in the /var/log/xinetd.log file whenever the server tries to connect.
These files do exist and are properly permissioned
The error on the server side is:
“cannot connect on socket”
Do we need another version of the client for Ubuntu 10.04? If so, how do I get it?
All other O/S's in are farms are working fine with the same client installation scripts.

Obvious stuff first
Let's get the output of some O/S commands and make sure there aren't any complaints. Could you run these and paste the output?

root@anthillpro3:/var/log# ls -l /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd

hmmm...
...ok, so what is that
...ok, so what is that telling me - that it can't find the library or that these were compiled on a different OS?
Hmm indeed!
I'm suspecting you have the wrong Linux binaries on there.
Could you share your version file (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version) as well as the contents of your redhat-release file?
`uname -a` wouldn't hurt, either, come to think of it.
(You may end up finding your own answer before I get back to you!)
That's the issue though, I
That's the issue though, I don't see anything specific to Ubuntu supported by Symantec
root@anthillpro3:~/cmvcutil/DeployScripts# cat /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/version

I've been trying to find a client for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit but the closest thing I could see to grab (and what I saw recommended from others) was RedHat
Can you point me to a more suitable client?
Well...
Now that I actually look at our compatibility lists :), we didn't even announce support of Ubuntu until 6.5.2, and THAT was for Ubuntu 8.04. I don't know if we have a 6.x client that will work. We definitely don't have one that we support.
For 7.0, use the "Linux/RedHat2.6" client.
Because this is a 64-bit system, you may need to install some 32-bit libraries.
Documentation you can use:
Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian 4 are now supported as a client in NetBackup 6.5.2. This document covers a few known issues when using Ubuntu 8.04 or Debian 4 as a client with NetBackup 6.5.2.

Of course, if your master and media server(s) are still at 6.x, it's probably a moot point as you can't put a 7.x client on there until those servers are at 7.x.
I hope this helps - good luck!
I can confirm that 7.0 will
I can confirm that 7.0 will work on 10.04, I'm the one with the problem that generated the technote. :)
grateful for your help
I installed the ia32-libs (as described in the article that you sent me a link to) and the RedHat 2.6 6.5.4 client and everything is working.
Thank you very much for your help!!
