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
