Well
isn't that interesting to hear??! I should bother my sales rep about that
later on, give him a hard time about wasting my time.
Haven't found the equivalent of Aptare's
checkinstall script for VBR, and support has asked me to run their support
utility, which looks like it goes out and runs most of the CLI commands the
product depends on (vmoprcmd, bpdbjobs, bpplist, etc). The master server
is wide open to the VBR server (no firewall between the two involved), so I
don't think there's an issue there. There might be an issue getting the
VBR server to talk to the media servers though (I have a few behind firewalls),
but I think I found the setting to "ignore" media servers behind
firewalls.
The product probably isn't as complicated as I'm
complaining about it being, but I have some philosophical issues
about doing grunt work for salespersons
;-)

VBR Setup Q's
That's
crazy. It sounds like they are digging for more info or trying to get you to
convert to VBR. We are on this
licensing model and the data we send them is via Aptare. I don't understand
why they are making you do that.
Sorry, that was of no help to you. We installed an older version of VBR
to test against Aptare and it wasn't anywhere near as complicated as you are
describing.
I might suggesting
making sure that there isn't a specific port/ports that need to be open? Does
VBR have the equivalent of checkinstall?

Q's |

Hello all, (Hopefully there's a user or two out there who's using VBR instead of
Aptare ;-) Long story short, Symantec is trying to convince me to
change my licensing scheme to a completely usage-based licensing model (some
of you probably are doing this) instead of the current individual license
purchase/support I have currently. Doesn't cost me anything to check it
out, with the caveat they're forcing me to install and configure VBR, even
though I have a fully functional Aptare server that could give them (likely)
the exact data they need. Anyways, VBR 6.6 looks like a beast,
this user's guide is 617 pages long and honestly, for the once per year
I'm going to run a report (if I go through with this), it ain't worth fully
learning. Looking for some quick hits on how to set it up. I've got the
VBR install done, and I've set it up pretty much as far as I can go without
help. Here's what I've done:
1) Install VBR Server onto a Windows
server. 2) Install VBR Agent
onto the same Windows server. 3)
Install RAC (Netbackup Remote Administration Console 6.5GA) onto the same
Windows server. 4) Added the
name of the VBR Server to the bp.conf on my master server (RedHat, 6.5.3.1) ,
confirmed the VBR server can run a "bpdbjobs -S <master_server>"
successfully. 5) Added a data
collector instance within the VBR Agent configuration. I left the polling
intervals at their defaults, and backups ran normally last night but no data
was collected. Did I miss out on any key setup steps? Cheers, Jon
