Installing Netbackup 6.5 on Windows Media Server

Installation
============

Master Server: Solaris 10
Media Server: Windows

1. install Netbackup Media Server software on mediaserver.net
  - target NBU version is 6.5.X
  - run installer > choose NetBackup Media Server > paste license key (installation is pretty straight forward)

2. edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config
  - add hostname of media servers that will backup the local host in "MEDIA_SERVER"
  - add hostname of master server in "EMMSERVER"
  - add hostname of client in "Client_Name"

3. edit /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the master server
  - append the following line: MEDIA_SERVER = mediaserver.net

4. add the media server in EMMDB
nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename mediaserver.net -machinetype media -masterserver masterserver.net -operatingsystem windows -netbackupversion

5. restart NBU service on media server
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bpdown.exe
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bpup.exe

6. restart NBU service on master server
bp.kill_all
bp.start_all
 
Post Checks
===========

1. from master server
ping mediaserver.net
nslookup mediaserver.net
nslookup mediaserver.net
bptesbpcd -client mediaserver.net
bpgetconfig -s mediaserver.net
bpclntcmd –hn mediaserver.net
bpclntcmd –ip mediaserver.net

2. from media server
bpclntcmd –pn
nbemmcmd –getemmserver

3. test backup using that media server

Additional Steps for media servers attached to a DataDomain
===========================================================

1. Create Storage server
nbdevconfig -creatests -st 9 -stype DataDomain -storage_server dd01.net -media_server mediaserver.net

2. Install DD BOOST plugin (separate tutorial)

3. Add storage server credential
tpconfig -add -storage_server dd01.net -stype DataDomain -sts_user_id admin -password pass123ost

4. Verify on Master server Java console if media server is now authorized
