NetVault 11.4.5 - Installation Guide

Reviewing post-installation requirements

Platform-specific post-installation requirements

This section covers the requirements for the following platforms:

Linux

On Linux OS, verify that the following shared C libraries are available on the server and client systems:

These libraries provide the standard library functions, including the “system calls” functions.

On systems that do not have these packages, NetVault Backup does not start after installation. In this scenario, run the following command from the NetVault Backup installation directory (/usr/netvault/, by default) to obtain a list of NetVault Backup dependencies and to determine any missing ones.

find ./|grep -v -E "pgAdmin3|stackbuilder|postgresql|lib/libssl|replaced/"|xargs file|egrep 'shared object|executable'|cut -d: -f1|xargs ldd 2>/dev/null|egrep -v '^\.'|perl -pe 's/ *\(.*$//'|sort -u|grep "not found"|grep -v -E "PIC"

The missing dependencies are reported as “Not Found.”

The required files are available as RPM packages. You can install them using the RPM utility. For more information, see the man page for the rpm command. You can also use the configuration tool YaST (Yet another Setup Tool) to locate and install the packages. Once the tool finds the package containing the required file, select the Install command from the Package menu to install the file. For more information about YaST, see the user’s guide for this tool.
