Netbackup Goodies install?
- Thread starter KTorbert
- Start date
The directory /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies is installed on all UNIX master and media servers.
The folder INSTALL_DIR\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\goodies is installed on all windows master and media servers
Bob Stump
Just because the VERITAS documentation states something as certain, that does not make it a fact and that is truth.

There isnt a directory listed "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies" on our unix servers. Where can I find the software to install it. I have the CD for Veritas Netbackup Enterprise 6.0 Client CD but i cannot find the Exe or TAR to complete the Goodies Install.
TIA

no, not unless they are "NetBackup media" unix servers.
> I have the CD for Veritas Netbackup Enterprise 6.0 Client CD
again, it wouldn't be on a "NetBackup client" CD
check the "NetBackup master/media" server CD
Remember, alot of the commands won't work unless the server you run them on is a bonafide media server itself. ie there is an entry in the master server's bp.conf file.

There are no services to stop/start on NetBackup unix clients. Only master/media servers have active daemons that can be stopped/started.

Thanks Stumpr!
I would like to suggest to the God Almighty for some Media servers to be installed as was suggested by Symantec when they were here months ago. But we have grown since they were here last. How many media servers suggested?

ADIC 2000 with (12) FC LTO3 IBM Tape Drives
EMC DMX3 Connectrix / Symmetrix SAN
(20) HPUX servers w/ Oracle 10g
(32) Windows 2003 Enterprise Server
(17) Windows 2000 Servers
(31) LINUX AS4 Servers w/ Oracle OAS & 10G
(9 Clustered HPUX) Oracle RAC
No Exchange Servers
1 SQL Farm on Windows 2003
VMWare VI3
Connections:
Veritas NBU server connected to ADIC Library via Fibre
Management (Private) Network - Cisco 3750 Stack Switch - 1000Mb for Backup traffic

You are the one to best answer this question. Where do you start? I am providing you with a link to a guide that covers all phases of planning a NetBackup environment. It is a good reference for ALL netbackup versions and platforms. This is probably the best guide available from symantec. Disregard the reference to 6.0 as it is good for 4.5 and 5.x as well
