Installing NetBackup ServerFree Agent
Distributing ServerFree Agent Software to Clients
Note If the master server is a Solaris or HP-UX system and the master server is also a
client, you do not have to distribute ServerFree Agent software to the master. This
distribution is done automatically when you load the software from the media (see
previous step). However, you must distribute the software as explained below to all
other clients that will be using ServerFree Agent.
You must install the ServerFree Agent software on your Solaris/HP-UX clients. Note: you
should also perform this procedure if you are doing either of the following:
◆ Installing a software upgrade (patch)
◆ Reinstalling ServerFree Agent software on a Solaris client
Execute the following as the root user on the NetBackup 4.5 master server.
1. Check whether bprd is running by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps
If only one bprd shows up in the bpps output, there are no active backups or
restores. In that case, terminate the bprd daemon by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate
If more than one bprd appears, wait until the backups and/or restores are complete
and then run the
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps command again. When only
one bprd shows up, terminate the bprd daemon.
2. You can distribute the ServerFree Agent software to Solaris and HP-UX clients in
either of two ways:
a. Distribute the software to all currently defined clients by executing the following
command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients -Install_VFMS
b. Distribute the software to specific clients.
- Create a file that lists the specific clients. For each client, enter a line in this file
containing the following three parameters:
hardware_type operating_system clientname
For example:
Solaris Solaris2.6 mysparc
or
Solaris Solaris7 othersparc
