Ok, this can be made to work but obviously you're on your own support
wise...
The problem with it on 9 is versioning of libraries it's compiled against.
So, most of the commands spit out this warning:
Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno or _res directly.
Needs to be fixed.
Experimentation showed this actually will work, but the reason you're
seeing errors is that error gets spit back to the bptm process which is
expecting 512 byte blocks and now the 1st block has an extra 91-92 bytes
in it.
The other catch is this isn't on stderr, but stdout so you can't simply
redirect output to make it go away.
Here was my solution (which is working for us fine).
filter.c (attached) strips the first 92 bytes off the output and then as
fast as it can reads 8k in/out.
These are the commands which need help:
bparchive bpbkar bpclimagelist bpjava-usvc
bpbackup bpcd bpjava-msvc bplist
So my script to replace bpbkar for instance is:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbkar+ | /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/filter
(i.e. rename bpbkar to bpbkar+ first and then drop this script in place of
it).
After all the commands are done this way backups run fine. I have a
problem with bp core-dumping when trying to get the file list for restores
but doing server recoveries or alternate client recoveries solves that
problem.
In short, don't convert a bunch of boxes to RH9 and do this, but for 1-2
to do some initial testing on this at least ensures you have backups until
the real client support is in MP5 or something.
