Performing push installations

You can deploy the NetVault Backup Client and plug-ins to multiple machines by creating a deployment task from the WebUI to push the packages to the specified machines. You can use this method for both new and upgrade installations. After the packages are successfully installed on the machines, the new clients are automatically added to the NetVault Backup Server.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Install Software/Add Clients.
2
On the Select Software/Add Clients page, select Install NetVault software on remote machines.
3
In the Package Store list, select the repository that contains the installation packages that you want to deploy.
In the Select Packages for Deployment dialog box, select the check boxes corresponding to the packages that you want to use, and click OK.
To add NetVault Backup plug-in packages, click Add NetVault plug-in package.
In the Select Packages for Deployment dialog box, select the check boxes corresponding to the “.npk” binary files that you want to use, and click OK.
Click Next.
5
On the Machines to Have NetVault Software Installed page, click Choose Machines, and select a method for adding the deployment targets.

By FQDN or IP

To manually add the deployment targets, select this method.

On the Machine Details tab, provide the following details:

FQDN/IP Address: Specify the FQDN or IP address of the client.
User Name: Specify a user account that can be used to log in to the machine.
Password: Specify the password for the user account.

Optionally, if you want NetVault Backup to remember the password for this user name, select Save Password.

 

Click Next.

NOTE: When configuring the User Name option, note the following:

If the built-in Administrator is disabled, you can use the following steps to enable the account and set a password for it:

Press Enter.
4
Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
5
Ensure that the User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode setting is disabled for the built-in Administrator account.

If the remote Windows machine is in a workgroup, you can also use a local account with administrative privileges. However, to use a local administrator account, disable the User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode setting. For security reasons, disabling this setting is not recommended; using the built-in Administrator account is the recommended approach.

From Active Directory

To select machines from an Active Directory Domain, select this method.

On the AD Details tab, provide the following details:

AD Server Address: Type the host name or IP address of the Active Directory Server.
User Name: Specify a Domain Account that is in the local Administrators group of all target Windows machines.
Password: Specify the password for the user account.

Optionally, if you want NetVault Backup to remember the password for this user name, select Save Password.

Click Connect.

In the list of Active Directory Objects, select the target machines, and then click Next.

From a file

To import the target list from a file, select this method.

In the Add machines from file dialog box, click Select a file. After selecting the file in the browse window, click OK to upload the file.

For more information about the file format, see File format for specifying deployment targets.

NOTE: The Installation Settings, Client Settings, and Firewall Settings are only effective when a machine is being added as a client for the first time. If a machine is already added to the server, these settings are not used for that machine.

Installation Settings

On the Installation Settings tab, provide the following details:

Machine Name: Provide a NetVault Backup name for the machine.
If multiple clients are selected from an Active Directory Domain, the label changes to Machine Name Prefix. The machine name that you provide is used as the base name, and NetVault Backup adds “_n” to the base name while assigning client names. For example, if the Machine Name is “WinClient,” the clients are assigned the names WinClient_1, WinClient_2, … WinClient_n. If you leave the field blank, NetVault Backup uses the host names.
Machine Password: Provide a password for the NetVault Backup machine.
\ and spaces.
Installation Folder: Specify the installation path.
Installation Language: Select the language for your NetVault Backup installation.

Click Next.

Client Settings

On the Client Settings tab, provide the following details:

Client Description: Type a descriptive text for the client.
Client Group: To add the client to one or more client groups, select the corresponding check boxes.

Click Next.

Firewall Settings

If the client resides on a network that is outside the firewall, select the Client is Outside Firewall check box on the Firewall Settings tab, and provide the TCP/IP port specifications. For more information about these settings, see Firewall settings.

8
If you are performing an upgrade installation on any client, select the Allow existing NetVault client installations to be upgraded check box.
Click Verify to ensure connectivity to the clients. If any errors are reported, click Edit, and modify the applicable installation parameters.
10
To submit the task, click Install Software/Add Clients.
NOTE: The installer generates a log file in the system temporary directory. (The TEMP environment variable for system account determines the location of this directory; this path is typically set to %windir%\Temp.)

The log file is named as follows: netvault_{GUID}_install.log, where {GUID} is unique for each installation occurrence (for example, netvault_274bffb2-a3c1-457e-7f5e-221bf60a7689_install.log).

File format for specifying deployment targets

You can specify the following fields in the input file.

target

Specify the FQDN or IP address of the target machine. (The NetVault Backup Server must be able to contact the machine on this address.)

targettype

Specify the machine type. Currently, only the fixed string “machine” is allowed.

targetusername

Specify a user account that can be used to log on to the machine.

Use the following format to specify the user name:

targetuserpassword

Specify the password for the user account.

nvlanguage

Specify the installation language for NetVault Backup. This setting is only used for new client installations.

nvmachname

Specify a NetVault Backup name for the machine.

The NetVault Backup machine name can contain a maximum of 63 characters. If the machine name is longer than 63 characters, the NetVault Backup Service may fail to start. The NetVault Backup machine names can include uppercase letters (A–Z), lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), hyphens (“-”), and underscores (“_”). For more information about NetVault Backup names, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.
