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.

5
Select the file entitled “pos-x-x-x-x-x.npk,” where xxxxx represents the version number and platform, and click Open.
