Solaris 10 on Sparc and x86 with Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card considerations
Backups of large savesets may fail on Solaris 10 systems if an Intel Gigabit Ethernet card (e1000g driver) is used. To avoid this issue, Sun patch 102712-01 (or later) on Sparc or Sun patch 102711-01 (or later) on x86 must be applied. To confirm this patch has been applied: 1. [ ] On Solaris Sparc servers, run the following command:
showrev -p | grep 102712
Note: Beginning in NetWorker 7.5, Solaris 8 is not supported and NetWorker License Manager is not supported on Opteron.
where server_name is the short name of the host on which the NMC server was installed. Backup Command:
savepsm (Windows NMC server) savepsm.sh (UNIX NMC server)
10. [ ] Add this client to a group and perform a full backup. To perform a full backup of this client in a defined group:
where: <client> is the client name of the NMC server. <group> is the name of the group containing the NMC server.
Note: Customizations to the NetWorker startup script files are overwritten when NetWorker is installed. Be sure to make a copy of any customizations required after an installation. 3. [ ] Create a backup copy of the lus driver configuration.
cp /usr/kernel/drv/lus.conf /usr/kernel/drv/lus.conf.7xx
Note: This is not required on Solaris 10. 4. [ ] Shutdown the NetWorker daemons when there are no backups and recoveries running:
nsr_shutdown
7. [ ] Uninstall all of the NetWorker packages listed in the pkginfo output in the order listed below. Exclude packages not listed by the pkginfo command:
pkgrm LGTOlicm LGTOserv LGTOnode LGTOclnt LGTOman LGTOnmc LGTOfr LGTOja LGTOko LGTOzh
Note: Do not choose the default option All to remove the NetWorker software packages. Choosing this option removes all the software packages (not just NetWorker software) that were installed on the computer using the pkgadd utility. Also, do not remove the /nsr or the NMC database folders after uninstalling the software.
2. [ ] Use the command line to navigate to the downloaded the NetWorker package. 3. [ ] Unzip the downloaded file to access the tar file.
gunzip <file_name>
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
6. [ ] Based on the above example, type 1. Note: There is also the option to install other NetWorker components such as the NetWorker License Manager. Type the number of the other optional components you wish to install. . If you choose to install the NetWorker Management Console (NMC), It is recommended to install it on a client machine. However, do NOT install it at this time. Install the NMC later, as described in Optional NetWorker Management Console installation, in this procedure. With 7.6.x, the HomeBase agent is automatically installed. 7. [ ] When all selections are made, press Enter to proceed. 8. [ ] When prompted to change the installation directory, press Enter to accept the default /var/nsr, or type the required path, and press Enter. 9. [ ] When prompted to add to the Servers file, type y and press Enter to add the hostname of the NetWorker servers. The client can only be backed up by NetWorker servers in this list. Note: If no servers are listed in the Servers file, any NetWorker server can backup this client. 10. [ ] When prompted to start the NetWorker daemons, type n and press Enter. 11. [ ] When prompted to continue the installation, type y and press Enter. 12. [ ] When the installation completes, type q to quit. 13. [ ] If not installing the NMC server on this host, proceed to Review customizations and start the daemons.
Note: The file name can change depending on the version of Java. 9. [ ] Navigate to the downloaded Java files, and run the install script
./jre-6u12-solaris-sparc.sh
The script creates an install directory where it is run. 10. [ ] When prompted to accept the licensing agreement, review the License Agreement, type yes and press Enter to continue. 11. [ ] Proceed to the NMC installation.

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
2. [ ] Based on the above example, type 7. Note: If the environment has only LDAPS (also known as LDAP over SSL), and there is no native NetWorker user authentication, do not install the NMC server on a Solaris server. 3. [ ] When prompted to install NMC, type a path with enough free space. Note: NMC requires a minimum of 350 MB however, it is recommended to have more space available for NMC reporting features. 4. [ ] When prompted to specify a user/group with limited privileges for NMC to run the web server, set it for a non-root user. For example, Solaris operating systems have a default user/group [nobody/nobody] to use. Note: If the default group [nobody/nobody] does not exist, and a user/group has not been created with limited privileges, create a non-root user/group with limited privileges. 5. [ ] When prompted for the web server port, press Enter to accept the default, or type the required port number, and press Enter. 6. [ ] When prompted for the GST server port, press Enter to accept the default, or type the required port number, and press Enter. 7. [ ] When prompted for the NMC database, press Enter to accept the default, or type the required path, and press Enter. If prompted to keep the old database, choose y and press Enter. 8. [ ] When prompted for the installation location for the NetWorker binaries, press Enter to accept the default, or type the required path and press Enter. 9. [ ] When prompted to start the daemons, type n. 10. [ ] If the install folder (/opt/LGTOnmc by default) does not exist, when prompted to create the directory, type y and press Enter. 11. [ ] When prompted to continue the installation, type y. 12. [ ] When the installation completes, type q to quit.

[ ] Make the necessary modifications to the following file: /etc/init.d/networker Note: Do not overwrite the new files with the contents of the old 7xx files. The old customizations must be included in the new script and configuration file. 3. [ ] Start the NetWorker daemons and the NetWorker NMC daemon (gstd) if it was installed.
/etc/init.d/networker start /etc/init.d/gst start
