NetVault Plug-in for PostgreSQL 13.1 - User Guide

Reviewing the recommended configuration

While you can set up a single machine as both the NetVault Server and the PostgreSQL Server, that is, all software installation and configuration requirements are performed on a single machine, Quest recommends that these two entities exist on separate machines.

 
Table 1. Recommended configuration

PostgreSQL Server machine
NetVault Server machine

Installed software and configuration

Installed software and configuration

•
PostgreSQL software, version 9.4 or later)
•
NetVault Server or Client software
•
NetVault Plug‑in for PostgreSQL
•
NetVault Server software
•
PostgreSQL Server added as a NetVault Client — for complete details on adding a Client to the NetVault Server, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Regardless of the configuration that you use, that is, separate NetVault Server and PostgreSQL Server, vs. a single machine configured as both, the plug-in must be installed on the host on which PostgreSQL resides.

Sample procedures throughout this guide assume that you are using this two-machine environment and that configuration requirements have been met.

Installing or upgrading the plug-in

The following topic describes the process for installing the plug-in on a single client or upgrading an existing one. If you have multiple clients of the same type, you can use the NetVault Configuration Wizard to install the plug-in on multiple clients at the same time. For more information on using push installation to update multiple clients at the same time, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

Select the file entitled “pos-x-x-x-x-x.npk,” where xxxxx represents the version number and platform, and click Open.
