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
