About NetBackup Flex Scale software installation
Your NetBackup Flex Scale appliance comes pre-installed with an operating system and the NetBackup Flex Scale software. You do not have to install anything on the raw nodes after you take them out of the box. Once you have assembled the nodes and placed the appliance in your data center environment, you verify the configuration prerequisites and begin with the cluster configuration.
See Configuring NetBackup Flex Scale using the setup wizard.
The installation instructions provided here are intended to serve only as a reference. They are useful in case you decide to wipe the appliance clean and start a fresh deployment.
If you plan to leverage your own hardware instead of the out of the box appliance, ensure that you contact Veritas Support to generate and install device certificates on your nodes.
Refer to the following:
See Enabling remote IPMI connections.
See Setting up the RAID configuration on the nodes.
See Configuring the BIOS settings on the nodes.
See Downloading the product installer ISO.
See Mounting the ISO file on the nodes.
