Dave,

I have done some work on a 6.5 VCS cluster and additionally touched a
"frozen" file in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/cluster on the active node to
disable the NetBackup agent monitor after freezing the service group.
This process is detailed in the 6.5 HA Admin Guide.

Regards,

Paul Esson

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 MP7 update on Clustered Media Servers
help

Guys im updating a NBU 6Mp4 Solaris environment to Mp7.

I have Master (solaris9 MP4)

Performing it on the Master first obviously and then was going to 
remotely install on 3 SSO Media servers (part of an oracle RAC). It says

this is possible in the patch readme but i haven't performed a remote mp

pack install before (apart from network based clients using 
update_clients). Is it just an option when you run the mp install
script?

If this remote upgrade works fine then i want to adopt the approach on 2

further SSO Media servers (both at nbu6 mp4) which have a clustered nbu 
install using VCS. I don't have root access to the machines see (dont' 
ask), but i can freeze the netbackup resource group under VCS as the 
role access i have allows me access to do that.

My question is can this be done as follows :-

1. Install mp7 on master (clt + solaris)
2. Connect to inactive cluster media server
3. Freeze netbackup cluster resource
4. Remote install from the master to the inactive cluster node
5. Remote install from the master to the active cluster node
6. Unfreeze cluster resource.

Anything else i need to do?

Cheers
