Description
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Emergency Engineering Binaries (EEB) on a Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) clustered NetBackup server, particularly when the installation process requires NetBackup services to be down.
- Freeze the Cluster - Prevent automatic failover of services by freezing the cluster. Use the following command:
/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -freeze nbu_group
- Shutdown NetBackup on Active Node - Use the bp.kill_all command on the active node to shut down all NetBackup services:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.kill_all
- Install EEB on Active Node - Follow the instructions provided in the Related Article on using the NetBackup EEB installer to install the EEB on the active node.
- Install EEB on Inactive Node - Repeat the installation process on the inactive node.
- Start NetBackup - Once the installation is complete on both nodes, start all NetBackup services using the bp.start_all command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all
- Unfreeze and Clear Fault Status on Cluster - Unfreeze the cluster and clear the fault status using the following commands:
/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -unfreeze nbu_group
/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -clear nbu_group
