File Name:QuestOSTPlugin-x.x.xxxx.x-x86_64-RHEL.bin.gz
For Linux:
1. Unzip the OST plug-in installer file using the following command:
$> /bin/gunzip QuestOSTPlugin-x.x.xxxx.x-x86_64-RHEL.bin.gz
2. Configure the executable bit on the OST plug-in installer using the following command:
$> /bin/chmod a+x QuestOSTPlugin-x.x.xxxx.x-x86_64-RHEL.bin
3. Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -install option.
The OST plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to install the OST plug-in.
4. Run the OST plug-in installer using the -install option, and install the plug-in using the following command:
$> ./QuestOSTPlugin-x.x.xxxx.x-x86_64-RHEL.bin -install
NOTE: You must stop the NetBackup nbrmms process before installing the OST plug-in. You are also required to use the OST plug-in installer to uninstall the plug-in. The location for installing the OST plug-in is not user-configurable.
5. Once the 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 will then list the OST plug-in details. Retain the OST plug-in installer on the media server so you can use it if needed to uninstall the plug-in.
For Windows:
1. Stop the NetBackup services if they are running, by using the following command:
2. Verify if a previous version is already installed. If it is, uninstall it. If SETUP performs this check, there is no need to do it manually.
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpdown.exe
3. Run SETUP to install the OST plug-in.
4. Check that the plug-in is installed by using the following NetBackup command on the Windows media server:
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpstsinfo.exe -pi
This NetBackup command lists the OST plug-in and other plug-in details.
Start the NetBackup services by using the following command:
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpup.exe
