Ah, okay, that figures. And I suppose an Enterprise license is more expensive than a Server license, isn't it?

Simple, edit your bp.conf file and make sure the top entry shows up as SERVER = your_master_server Justin. On Mon, 12 Nov 2007, Alexander Skwar wrote: I wrote: [...] What are those other steps?

Re: [Veritas-bu] How do I add a Media Server to an existing NetBackup environment?
Hello. It contains now, after the installation: SERVER = augds01 CLIENT_NAME = augds01 EMMSERVER = augds01 VXDBMS_NB_DATA = /usr/openv/db/data The master server is named winds06. Thus I'd need to change SERVER to winds06. What about EMMSERVER, though? Change it also to winds06? Remove that line? Or leave it at augds01 (== name of media server)?

Re: [Veritas-bu] How do I add a Media Server to an existing NetBackup environment?
Hi. Hm, that's step 4 on the wiki page. It says: 4. Add the server's name to the masters's bp.conf file Hmm... Any other ideas about why that prompt hasn't been shown?

From your trace: Enter license key: DRXI-: NetBackup Server Base product with the following features enabled: I don't know if this is still the case with NBU 6, but there was/is a difference between Server and Enterprise Server. My trace looks like: Enter license key: X NetBackup Enterprise Server Base product with the following features enabled: Notice the difference. You are only able to add media servers to your NBU domain with an enterprise server license and in this case you would have the option to configure the new system as an additional media server after the license key was checked.

[Veritas-bu] How do I add a Media Server to an existing NetBackup environment?
Hello. I've got a machine at a remote location, which I'd like to manage from here. It's a Solaris 9 system with an attached Robot and Tape Drive. here, I already have a Master Server (NBU 6.0 MP4 on Solaris 10, at the moment). To make the management easier, I'd like to be able to manage the remote system from the current environment. What are the steps that I need to do? On my web searches, I found http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/279049.htm, which states to run a command along the lines of nbemmcmd -addhost -machinename media1 -machinetype media\ -masterserver nbumaster -operatingsystem windows \ -netbackupversion 6 in addition to the other steps needed to add a Media Server to an existing NetBackup 6.0 environment. What are those other steps? According to http://www.backupcentral.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/How_do_I_add_a_Media_Server_to_an_existing_NetBackup_environment%3F, they are: 1. Install the server software on the media server 2. When prompted, do not install any clients other than the one for the media server 3. When prompted is xyz the master server? answer NO. 4. Add the server's name to the masters's bp.conf file 5. nbemmcmd 6. You should now be able to configure devices via the Configure storage devices wizard in the NBU GUI. Is that it? And does it even make sense, what I'm planning to do? I know that there's the NetBackup Remote Administration Console, but it is only available for Windows, isn't it? And as I'm on Linux (Client) or Solaris, I cannot use this (or could I, with the help of Wine?). Thanks a lot, Alexander Skwar ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
