Disabling LiveUpdate on NetBackup hosts

LiveUpdate is installed automatically with each NetBackup client and server installation. NetBackup is also registered automatically with the LiveUpdate agent at the time of installation.

If you want to disable LiveUpdate so that NetBackup updates are not applied to a specific host, use one of the following methods:

  • Remove the host from the LiveUpdate policy.

    See Creating a LiveUpdate policy.

  • Delete the LiveUpdate policy.

  • Unregister the specific host so that LiveUpdate no longer attempts to update NetBackup. To unregister the host, enter the appropriate command on the host:

    For UNIX systems:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nblu_registration -r

    This command removes all NetBackup entries from the following LiveUpdate inventory file:

    /etc/Product.Catalog.JavaLiveUpdate

    For Windows systems:

    LU_Registration.exe -InstallType Unregister -Product NBU

    If you have installed the Java console for Windows, run the following command:

    LU_Registration.exe -InstallType Unregister -Product NBU-Java

    To enable LiveUpdate on a host after it has been disabled, enter the appropriate command on the host:

    For UNIX systems:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nblu_registration

    For Windows systems:

    LU_Registration.exe -InstallType Register -Product NBU

    If you have installed the Java console for Windows, run the following command:

    LU_Registration.exe -InstallType Register -Product NBU-Java
