Installing the RDA with OST plug-in for NetBackup on Linux

This topic describes how to install the RDA with OST plug-in on a media server running the supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux server operating system software (using the NetBackup data management application).

Ensure that you have downloaded the RDA with OST plug-in installer into the correct directory on the designated media server. The plug-in installer is saved as QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.gz, where xxxxx represents the build number.
  1. Unzip the RDA with OST plug-in installer file using the following command: 
    $> /bin/gunzip QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.gz
  2. Configure the executable bit on the plug-in installer using the following command: 
    $> /bin/chmod a+x QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin
  3. Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -install option.

    The plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to install the plug-in.

  4. Run the plug-in installer using the -install option, and install the plug-in using the following command: 
    $> ./QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -install

    NOTE: The location for installing the plug-in is not user-configurable.

  5. After the RDA with OST plug-in installer has stopped running, and the system prompt returns, verify that the plug-in has loaded properly by checking the output using the following NetBackup command on the Linux media server: 
    $> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -plugininfo

    This NetBackup command lists the plug-in details as shown:

    • Plug-In Name: libstspiocaMT.so
    • Prefix: QUEST
    • Label: Quest OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in
    • Build Version: 10
    • Build Version Minor: 1
    • Operating Version: 10
    • Vendor Version: (EAR-2.0.0) Build: 41640

  6. Retain the plug-in installer on the media server so you can use it if needed to uninstall the plug-in.

Uninstalling the RDA with OST plug-in for Linux

Use the following process if you need to uninstall the RDA with OST plug-in from a Linux-based media server:

  1. Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -uninstall option.

    (The plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to uninstall the OST plug-in.)

  2. Run the RDA with OST plug-in installer with the -uninstall option, which uninstalls the plug-in, using the following command: 
    $> ./QuestOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -uninstall
  3. Check that the plug-in is uninstalled by using the following NetBackup command on the Linux media server: 
    $> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -plugininfo

    NOTE: If the -pluginfo command returns any plug-in details, this means that the plug-in has not been uninstalled.

  4. Retain the plug-in installer on the media server in case you need to use it to reinstall the plug-in.

Configuring DR Series system information using NetBackup

The topic introduces the concept of configuring the DR Series system information using the NetBackup media server command line interface (CLI) commands and graphical user interface (GUI) menus, tabs, and options. The NetBackup CLI commands and GUI menus, tabs, and options allow you to configure both the Linux or Windows media servers. In this guide, you will find specific topics that address operations for using the NetBackup CLI, such as adding the DR Series system name to NetBackup on each Linux and Windows media server you intend to use with the DR Series system, using the NetBackup GUI to configure it to work with the DR Series system via OST, using the NetBackup GUI to configure disk pools from logical storage units (LSUs) on the DR Series system, and using the NetBackup GUI to create storage units using the disk pools on the DR Series system.

Using NetBackup CLI to add DR Series system name (Linux)

This topic describes how to use the NetBackup CLI to add the DR Series system name to each Linux-based media server you plan to use with the DR Series system.

  1. Add the DR Series system name to NetBackup by using the following command: 
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -creatests 
-storage_server servername -stype QUEST -media_server mediaservername
  2. Log in to and authenticate with DR Series system by using the following command (for details, see Configuring an LSU). 
    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -add -storage_server servername -stype QUEST -sts_user_id backup_user -password password

    NOTE: On the DR Series system, only one user account exists, and the user ID for that account is backup_user. You can only change the password for this account; you cannot create a new account nor can the existing account be deleted.
