1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Authorization Code: means the unique code provided to Licensee by
LEGATO for permanent activation of the Software. The Authorization Code
is provided to Licensee once the Enabler Code is registered with LEGATO.
The Authorization Code may be tied to a unique machine ID code supplied
by Licensee.
1.2 Documentation: Documentation: means the user reference materials on
any media, provided by LEGATO for use with the Software.
1.3 Enabler Code: means the code provided by LEGATO for activation of the
Software.
1.4 Licensee: means the person or entity acquiring this License or for whom
this License was acquired.
1.5 Software: means the object code copy of the software program provided
to You in association with this EULA, together with the associated original
media and all accompanying Documentation, and together with all Updates
that may be provided by LEGATO to You from time to time.
2. OWNERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION OF SOFTWARE
2.1 Ownership and Title. As between the parties, LEGATO, and its licensors,
own and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to: (i) the Software
including all intellectual property rights embodied therein; (ii) all of the
service marks, trademarks, trade names, or any other designations associated
with the Software; and (iii) all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights,
and other proprietary rights relating to the Software.
2.2 Software Activation. LEGATO employs Enabler Codes and
Authorization Codes that enable the use of the Software. The Software is
shipped in a Media Kit which consists of object code software on CD-ROM
and an Enabler Code for initial activation of the Software or the Software and
Enabler Code may be delivered electronically. Once LEGATO receives
confirmation from Licensee that the Software is installed with the correct
Enabler Code, and is provided with the host ID information, LEGATO will
provide the Authorization Code to Licensee. LEGATO administers the
generation and distribution of Enabler and Authorization Codes, which
administration may be modified by LEGATO from time to time.
2.3 Administration of Software. LEGATO may include on the media with
the Software additional computer programs which are not currently licensed
for use by Licensee and to which the Enabler Code or Authorization code will
not permit access. Inclusion of such additional computer programs in no way
implies a license from LEGATO and access or use of such programs is strictly
prohibited unless Licensee procures the right to use any such program and
the applicable Enabler Code is provided thereto.
3. LICENSE GRANT
3.1 Grant. LEGATO grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, nontransferable,
non-sublicensable, perpetual (unless terminated in accordance with the
provisions of this EULA), license (the License) to (i) use the Software
installed in accordance with the Documentation and only on the licensed
computer(s) solely for its own internal operations; and (ii) move the Software
temporarily in case of computer system malfunction. The Software may be
licensed: (a) on a per copy or per seat basis, on a physical or virtual machine,
(b) based upon the number of mailboxes or the number of non-concurrent
users for which it may be used, or (c) based upon data volumes it supports.
The License granted under this EULA does not constitute a sale of the
Software or any portion or copy of it. Licensee may not use the Software on
more than one computer system unless otherwise specifically authorized by
an explicit Software product, or additional licenses for additional computers
are purchased. Rights not expressly granted are reserved by LEGATO.

3.2 Copies. Licensee may make copies of the Software provided that any such
copy is: (i) created as an essential step in utilization of the Software as
licensed and is used in no other manner; or (ii) used for archival purposes.
All trademark and copyright notices must be reproduced and included on
such copies. Licensee may not make any other copies of the Software.
3.3 Restrictions on use. Licensee shall not, and shall not aid, abet, or permit
any third party to: (i) decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer
or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code or underlying ideas or
algorithms of the Software by any means whatsoever; (ii) remove any
identification, copyright, or other notices from the Software; (iii) provide,
lease, lend, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes; (iv) create a
derivative work of any part of the Software; or (v) develop methods to enable
unauthorized parties to use the Software. If EC law is applicable, the
restrictions in Section 3.3 (i) are limited so that they prohibit such activity only
to the maximum extent such activity may be prohibited without violating the
EC Directive on the legal protection of computer programs. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, prior to decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise reverse
engineering any of the Software, Licensee shall request LEGATO in writing,
to provide Licensee with such information or assistance and Licensee shall
refrain from decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise reverse engineering
any of the Software unless LEGATO cannot or has not complied with such
request in a commercially reasonable amount of time.
3.4 Purchase Orders. Nothing contained in any purchase order,
acknowledgment, or invoice shall in any way modify the terms or add any
additional terms or conditions to this EULA.
3.5 Updates. This section applies if the Software acquired is an update to the
original Software (the Update). An Update does not constitute a legally
licensed copy of the Software unless purchased as an Update to a previously
licensed version of the same Software. The Update may only be used in
accordance with the provisions of this EULA. The Update, together with the
original Software, constitutes one (1) legally licensed copy of the Software.
3.6 Evaluation License. This Section applies if the Software is being used for
an initial thirty (30) day evaluation period. The license is valid only for a
period of thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Software, and is designed
to allow Licensee the right to evaluate the Software during such period. In
the event that Licensee desires to continue to license the Software, Licensee
must purchase a license to the Software. Upon such purchase, Licensee will
be provided with an Enabler Code in accordance with Section 2.2 above. In
the event Licensee determines not to purchase a license for the Software at the
end of such thirty (30) day evaluation period, then Licensees rights under
this EULA shall terminate automatically and Licensee shall promptly return
to LEGATO or destroy all copies of the Software and so certify to LEGATO.
3.7 General Public License ("GPL"). The Software may include one or more
components which are derived from software subject to a General Public
License. Any such components are licensed exclusively under the applicable
GPL and not under this EULA.
4. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
4.1 LEGATO has no obligation to provide support, maintenance, upgrades,
modifications, or new releases under this EULA. LEGATO may provide such
services under separate EULA.
5. LIMITED WARRANTY
5.1 Media and Documentation. LEGATO warrants that if the media or
documentation are damaged or physically defective at the time of delivery of
the first copy of the Software to Licensee and if defective or damaged product
is returned to LEGATO (postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days thereafter,
then LEGATO will provide Licensee with replacements at no cost.

5.2 Limited Software Warranty. Subject to the conditions and limitations of


liability stated herein, LEGATO warrants for a period of thirty (30) days from
the delivery of the first copy of the Software to Licensee that the Software, as
delivered, will materially conform to LEGATOs then current published
Documentation for the Software. This warranty covers only problems
reported to LEGATO during the warranty period. For customers outside of
the United States, this Limited Software Warranty shall be construed to limit
the warranty to the minimum warranty required by law.
5.3 Remedies. The remedies available to Licensee hereunder for any such
Software which does not perform as set out herein shall be either repair or
replacement, or, if such remedy is not practicable in LEGATOs opinion,
refund of the license fees paid by Licensee upon a return of all copies of the
Software to LEGATO. In the event of a refund this EULA shall terminate
immediately without notice with respect to such Software.
6. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
6.1 Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY
PROVIDED IN SECTION 5 ABOVE, ALL SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS".
LEGATO AND ITS LICENSORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT
TO ANY SOFTWARE AND DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE AND
ANY WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT. LEGATO DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET ANY REQUIREMENTS
OR THAT THE OPERATION OF SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED
OR ERROR FREE. ANY LIABILITY OF LEGATO WITH RESPECT TO THE
SOFTWARE OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF UNDER ANY
WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY
WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE REMEDIES SPECIFIED IN
SECTION 5.3 ABOVE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of
implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty may last,
so the above limitations may not be applicable.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
7.1 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY, LEGATO (AND
ITS LICENSORS) WILL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS EULA UNDER ANY
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE THEORY FOR: (I) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND
WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES; OR (II) DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOST
DATA; OR (III) COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS,
TECHNOLOGY, SERVICES, OR RIGHTS; OR (IV) FOR AMOUNTS IN
EXCESS OF THOSE RECEIVED BY LEGATO FOR THE PARTICULAR
LEGATO SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED THE LIABILITY . Because some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, LEGATO's liability in such jurisdictions shall be
limited to the extent permitted by law.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1 Term. The term of this EULA is perpetual unless terminated in
accordance with its provisions.
8.2 Termination. LEGATO may terminate this EULA, without notice, upon
Licensee's breach of any of the provisions hereof.
8.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this EULA, Licensee agrees
to cease all use of the Software and to return to LEGATO or destroy the
Software and all Documentation and related materials in Licensee's
possession, and so certify to LEGATO. Except for the License granted herein
and as expressly provided herein, the terms of this EULA shall survive
termination.

9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Governing Law. This EULA shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the principles of conflict
of laws or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods.
9.2 Government Restricted Rights. Any Software which is acquired directly
or indirectly for or on behalf of the United States of America, its agencies
and/or instrumentalities ("U.S. Government"), is provided with Restricted
Rights. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to
restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical
Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or
subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable. Manufacturer is
LEGATO Software, a division of EMC Corporation, 2350 W. El Camino Real,
Mountain View, CA 94040. The Software is a commercial software product,
licensed on the open market at market prices, and was developed entirely at
private expense and without the use of any government funds.
9.3 Export and Import Controls. Regardless of any disclosure made by
Licensee to LEGATO of an ultimate destination of the Products, Licensee may
not directly or indirectly export or transfer any portion of the Software, or any
system containing a portion of the Software, to anyone outside the United
States (including further export if Licensee took delivery outside the U.S.)
without first complying with any export or import controls that may be
imposed on the Software by the U.S. Government or any country or
organization of nations within whose jurisdiction Licensee operates or does
business. Licensee shall at all times strictly comply with all such laws,
regulations, and orders, and agrees to commit no act which, directly or
indirectly, would violate any such law, regulation or order.
9.4 Assignment. This EULA may not be assigned or transferred by Licensee
without the prior written consent of LEGATO, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. LEGATO may assign or otherwise transfer any or all
of its rights and obligations under this EULA upon notice to Licensee.
9.5 Sole Remedy and Allocation of Risk. Licensee's sole and exclusive
remedies are set forth in this EULA. This EULA defines a mutually
agreed-upon allocation of risk, and the License price reflects such allocation
of risk.
9.6 Equitable Relief. The parties agree that a breach of this EULA adversely
affecting LEGATO's intellectual property rights in the Software may cause
irreparable injury to LEGATO for which monetary damages may not be an
adequate remedy and LEGATO shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition
to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law.
9.7 No Waiver. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this EULA
will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other
provision, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power
hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder.
9.8 Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any
provision of this EULA, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that
provision of the EULA will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible
so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this EULA will
continue in full force and effect.
10. ENTIRE EULA
10.1 This EULA sets forth the entire understanding and EULA between the
parties and may be amended only in a writing signed by authorized
representatives of both parties. No vendor, distributor, reseller, dealer,
retailer, sales person, or other person is authorized by LEGATO to modify
this EULA or to make any warranty, representation, or promise which is
different than, or in addition to, the warranties, representations, or promises
made in this EULA. No pre-printed purchase order terms shall in any way
modify, replace or supersede the terms of this EULA.

About the LEGATO NetWorker Product


The LEGATO NetWorker product is a suite of storage management software that
provides backup, recovery, and other services to computers with a wide variety of
operating systems and data types. NetWorker products allow the backup in a
heterogeneous environment while giving the flexibility to design an efficient
manageable setup.
The NetWorker software is distributed in the following formats:

In a media kit of CD-ROMs that contain the software and electronic


documentation for several related LEGATO products
As a downloadable archive file from the LEGATO web site

The NetWorker product has these major components:

NetWorker client
NetWorker storage node
NetWorker server
LEGATO License Manager

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version

Chapter 1: Introduction

NetWorker Client
The NetWorker client software provides recover and on-demand backup functionality,
and it communicates with the NetWorker server. The NetWorker client software is
installed on all computers that are required to be backed up to the NetWorker server.
NetWorker clients may not have to be of the same operating system as the NetWorker
server. However, to back up clients of other operating systems, the NetWorker server
must have a ClientPak enabler for that type of client. For example, in order for the
NetWorker server for Solaris to back up NetWorker clients on another operating
system, a separate ClientPak enabler must be purchased and entered for that operating
system.

NetWorker Storage Node


Data can be backed up directly to devices attached to either a NetWorker server or to
a NetWorker storage node. A storage node controls storage devices such as tape drives,
autochangers, and silos.
Storage nodes depend on the NetWorker server for the following functions:

Control over which clients use the storage nodes devices for backups
License management
Management of the client file indexes that track each clients data
Management of the media database that tracks the data contained on each
volume

NetWorker storage nodes and the NetWorker server can use different operating
systems. For example, a NetWorker storage node can be used on another operating
system with a NetWorker server in a Solaris operating environment. However, the
storage nodes enabler on the server must be of the same edition (either Network
Edition or Power Edition) as the base enabler for the NetWorker server.

NetWorker Server
The NetWorker server software provides control and scheduling for NetWorker
operations. On the NetWorker server:

Enter the enabler licenses for the NetWorker server and all the functions the
NetWorker server controls, such as autochanger modules, additional client
connections, and LEGATO NetWorker ClientPak licenses.
Define the clients, devices, and media that the NetWorker server controls.
Define the schedules for backups and other operations.
Monitor the results of backups and other operations.
Manage the client file indexes that track each clients data.
Manage the media database that tracks the data contained on each volume.

Chapter 1: Introduction

LEGATO License Manager


The LEGATO License Manager provides a central place for managing the licenses of all
the NetWorker clients and servers. Instead of managing licenses separately, all
NetWorker licenses can be maintained from a single computer. Installation of the
License Manager is an option when installing the NetWorker software.
For more information about the LEGATO License Manager, refer to the LEGATO
License Manager Installation and Administrators Guide and the LEGATO License Manager
Release Supplement on the LEGATO web site at www.legato.com.

Supported Devices
NetWorker software supports a variety of media types and devices, either stand-alone
or in an autochanger or silo tape library. Devices can be attached to a NetWorker server
or a designated storage node. To obtain the latest list of supported devices, refer to the
LEGATO Compatibility Guides on the LEGATOweb site at www.legato.com.
Note: The term autochanger refers to a variety of backup devices: autoloader, carousel,
datawheel, jukebox, library, and near-line storage.
Use a nonrewinding device for NetWorker backups. The pathnames for these devices
must follow the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) semantic rules, for example,
/dev/rmt/0mbn. The b in the pathname satisfies the BSD semantics requirement. If a
file device is used, enter it as a directory path (the same as for other device types) rather
than as just a filename.

Enabler Codes
Enabler codes (licenses), which activate the functionality of NetWorker software and
other LEGATO software, are sold separately. For more information, see
"Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software" on page 94.

Chapter 2: Updating from a Previous NetWorker


Release

This chapter explains how to update from a previous release of LEGATO NetWorker
software. It includes the following sections:

"Introduction" on page 17
"Updating from a Previous Release" on page 17

Introduction
When updating to the NetWorker release 7.2 from a release earlier than NetWorker 6.0,
the client file indexes and media database must be converted to a new format.

Important: This is a one-way conversion. Once the client file indexes and the media
database are updated to the current NetWorker release, these objects cannot be
reverted for use by a previous release of the NetWorker software.

Updating from a Previous Release


The following sections explain how to complete the update process and convert the
indexes:

"Task 1: Prepare to Update the NetWorker Software on the NetWorker Server" on


page 18
"Task 2: Update the NetWorker Software" on page 18
"Task 3: Enable and Register the Software" on page 19

Note: Converting the NetWorker indexes from NetWorker 5.x to NetWorker 7.2
requires enough free disk space to match the largest client file index being converted.
This space is used during the conversion process and will be released when completed.
Following conversion, the media database should be approximately twice its original
size. The client file indexes will be 20% to 40% smaller. These storage requirement
changes are permanent.

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

17

Chapter 2: Updating from a Previous NetWorker Release

Task 1: Prepare to Update the NetWorker Software on the NetWorker Server


To prepare to update the NetWorker software:
1. Determine whether all criteria to complete the index conversion is met. See
"Updating from a Previous Release" on page 17.
2. Back up all client file indexes and generate a bootstrap for the server.
If no current bootstrap and backup of all client file indexes exists, perform
scheduled backups on all clients before updating to the next NetWorker release.
For example, to save the bootstrap information, enter the following command:
savegrp -O group
Note: Make sure that all clients are included in the groups to be backed up.
3. Record the latest bootstrap save set ID and its associated volume label. To obtain
this information, use the following command:
mminfo -B
4. If the NetWorker software is not currently installed in the default location, record
the location of the client file indexes.

Task 2: Update the NetWorker Software


To update the NetWorker software on the NetWorker client, storage node and server:
1. Keep a copy of the current configuration.
2. Shut down the NetWorker software using the following command:
nsr_shutdown
3. Remove the earlier NetWorker release, but do not remove the client file indexes, the
resource files, and media database.
For more information, see "Uninstalling the NetWorker Software" on page 33.
4. Install the new release of the NetWorker software. For more information, see
"Installing the NetWorker Software" on page 23.

Important: Do not start the NetWorker daemons.

5. Apply any required NetWorker software patches.


6. Restart the NetWorker software by running the NetWorker startup script:
/etc/init.d/networker start
The media database and the client file index are converted automatically.

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

18

Chapter 2: Updating from a Previous NetWorker Release

The client file index conversion can be enhanced by running multiple instances of
the nsrck program concurrently. This process converts multiple client file indexes
in parallel. To convert multiple client file indexes in parallel, perform one of the
following:
Specify the client file index to convert, as follows:
nsrck client_name
Enter the nsrck command without a client name. This initiates the conversion
of the next client in the list.
Each instance of nsrck occupies a portion of the servers processing, memory,
and space-swapping capability. Balance the speed of index conversion against
other NetWorker server needs. Monitor system performance using a
diagnostic tool to determine the optimum number of nsrck instances to
launch.
7. Once the media database is converted, run scheduled backups. These backups,
however, are not browsable until the associated client is converted.

New Resource Database Replaces nsr.res and nsrjb.res Files


In NetWorker releases earlier than 7.0, all resource information was stored in *.res files.
To provide better performance and improved scalability, NetWorker release 7.2
replaces the following files with a new NetWorker resource database:
/nsr/res/nsr.res
/nsr/res/nsrjb.res
The configuration information these files contained now resides in the following
directory structure:
/nsr/res/nsrdb/00
.
.
.
/nsr/res/nsrdb/09
Within this directory structure, each resource is stored in a separate numbered file. As
new resources are created (for example, Client, Group, or Pool resources), new files are
added in these directories.
Because client resources are generally very small, the NetWorker client (nsrexecd)
continues to use the /nsr/res/nsrla.res file.

Task 3: Enable and Register the Software


To enable and register the NetWorker software, see "Chapter 8: Evaluating and
Licensing NetWorker Software" on page 94.

Chapter 3: Installing the NetWorker Software

Installation Requirements
The system requirements differ for each of the installation types:

"Client Software" on page 21


"Storage Node" on page 21
"Server Software" on page 21

Important: Before installing NetWorker software, make sure that the operating system
is up-to-date with the most recent patches.

Note: NetWorker software does not support locales (defined by the operating system)
or code sets that remap characters having special meaning for filesystems. Depending
on the filesystem, these special characters may include the slash (/), the backslash (\),
the colon (:), or the period(.). De_DE.646 is an example of one unsupported locale. For
detailed information, refer to the NetWorker Administrators Guide, UNIX and Linux
Version.

Client Software
The NetWorker client software package temporarily requires 35 MB of free space on
the client computer.
The client software can be installed either on a remote network file system-mounted
directory or a local drive.

Storage Node
To install the NetWorker storage node software, the following requirements must be
met:

Device driver (LGTOdrvr) and client software (LGTOclnt) must be installed.


At least one supported storage device must be attached and installed. The device
can either be a stand-alone device, autochanger, or silo tape library. For a list of
supported devices, refer to the LEGATO Compatibility Guides on the LEGATO
web site.

Server Software
This section describes NetWorker server installation requirements:

"System Requirements" on page 22


"Installation Guidelines" on page 22

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

21

Chapter 3: Installing the NetWorker Software

System Requirements
To install NetWorker software on a Solaris server, make sure that:

The system meets the space requirements listed in Table 1 on page 23.
There is a directory on the server large enough for the NetWorker client and
server indexes and the media database (usually /nsr). The installation script
checks for space and suggests one or more locations for the indexes and media
database.
The system pathname of at least one storage device is used by the NetWorker
server to back up and recover files.
If a tape device is being used to back up data, use a valid pathname for that device.
For example:
/dev/rmt/0cbn
Note: The tape device must be nonrewinding.
Install Acrobat Reader software is installed to read the documentation PDFs.
Acrobat Reader requires a directory with enough space to install the software.

Installation Guidelines
On the NetWorker server, install all of the NetWorker software in the following order:
1. Client
2. Device drivers
3. Storage node
4. Server
It is recommended that the NetWorker software packages all be installed on the server
during the same installation session.
Note: If installing additional NetWorker software packages (storage node, server) to a
NetWorker client that has processes running (for example, the nsrexecd process) an
RPC error is reported. Before each software package is installed, the NetWorker
software requires all NetWorker processes be shutdown. The RPC error is generated
because the nsr_shutdown process attempts to stop NetWorker server processes when
in fact no NetWorker server is running. This error message can be ignored and the
installation process completes successfully.
During the pkgadd process, ensure no NetWorker processes are currently running and
do not start the NetWorker daemons until the final package is being installed.

Chapter 3: Installing the NetWorker Software

Installing to a Nondefault Location


By default, NetWorker software is installed in the /usr directory. If there is insufficient
disk space on the /usr partition, the following NetWorker packages can be relocated to
a specified directory on another partition:

LGTOclnt (client software package)


LGTOnode (storage node software package)
LGTOserv (server software package)
LGTOwiz (optional client configuration wizard package)
LGTOwizd (optional device configuration wizard package)

The following NetWorker packages must always be installed in the default location:

LGTOman (optional NetWorker man pages)


LGTOdrvr (optional NetWorker device driver commands, libraries, and utilities)

For a listing of the default locations and size requirements, see Table 1 on page 23.

Important: Do not relocate any of the packages if LEGATO NetWorker Module


software is already installed on the computer.
The LGTOwiz package can be installed at any point after the LGTOclnt package. If
installing the device configuration wizard package (LGTOwizd) you must first install
the client configuration wizard package (LGTOwiz). However, the client configuration
wizard installation is not dependant on the device configuration package and can be
installed separately. For more information on the NetWorker configuration wizard,
refer to the NetWorker Release Supplement, UNIX and Linux Version.

To install the NetWorker packages to a nondefault location:


1. Copy the /var/sadm/install/admin/default file, as shown:
cp /var/sadm/install/admin/default /tmp/default.tmp
2. Edit the /var/sadm/install/admin/default file and change the value assigned to the
basedir variable from default to ask, as shown:
basedir=ask
3. Create a directory and the bin and sbin subdirectories to install the NetWorker
packages, for example:
mkdir -p /my_path/sbin
mkdir -p /my_path/bin
4. Modify the root PATH variable to include the bin and sbin subdirectories of the
directory just created, for example:
/my_path/bin:/my_path/sbin
5. Enter one of the following pkgadd commands:
pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom1/solaris_32
pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom1/solaris_64

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

Chapter 3: Installing the NetWorker Software

6. When the following prompt appears in the script, enter the same base directory for
all the relocated packages:
Enter path to package base directory (default: /usr) [?,q]
/my_path
Using /my_path as the package base directory.

Important: To successfully install the LGTOdrvr and LGTOman packages, provide the
root directory (/) when prompted for a directory in which to install the packages.

7. When all the applicable packages are added and the prompt appears, press [q] to
exit.
8. Copy the /tmp/default.tmp file to the following location. For example:
cp /tmp/default.tmp /var/sadm/install/admin/default
If pkgrm is used to remove the packages at a later date, specify the base directory.

Task 3: Change the NetWorker Servers with Access to a Client


To limit the servers authorized to access a client, specify a list of trusted NetWorker
servers for a client in the /nsr/res/servers file. After installing the client, storage node,
and server software, use the following procedure to change the NetWorker servers that
are authorized to access a client.
To change which NetWorker servers can access a client:
1. Enter the following command to shut down the NetWorker daemons:
nsr_shutdown
2. Edit or create the /nsr/res/servers file and add the set of NetWorker servers, one per
line, that require access to the client. The first entry in this file becomes the default
NetWorker server.

Important: If the /nsr/res/servers file is empty or does not exist, any NetWorker server
is authorized to:
Access and back up the client
Perform a directed recovery to the client

3. If necessary, remove the -s option from the nsrexecd command that is invoked by
the boot-time startup file. Running nsrexecd with the -s option supersedes the
/nsr/res/servers file:
a. Check the NetWorker boot-time startup file to see whether nsrexecd is being
run with the -s option. The boot-time startup file for the Solaris environment
is /etc/init.d/networker.
b. If the -s option exists in the boot-time startup file, remove all occurrences of
-s server_name in the startup file.

Chapter 4: Installing NetWorker Software in a


Sun Cluster Version 3.0 or 3.1 Environment

This chapter explains how to install NetWorker software in a Sun Cluster version 3.0
or 3.1, environment. It includes the following sections:

"Cluster Concepts and Terminology" on page 36


"Installation Requirements" on page 39
"Updating from a Previous Release of NetWorker Software" on page 40

available resources (data services). For detailed information about Sun Cluster 3.0 or
3.1, refer to the appropriate Sun documentation.

Important: Highly available storage nodes are not supported.

Cluster Concepts and Terminology


This section discusses the following:

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

Chapter 4: Installing NetWorker Software in a Sun Cluster Version 3.0 or 3.1 Environment

Cluster Terminology
For consistency and clarity, this section defines the following terms:
Node A physical machine that is a member in the cluster.
Failover node A cluster node to which the NetWorker virtual server can fail over.
Virtual client A NetWorker client that is associated with a highly available or scalable
service in a cluster.
Cluster client A NetWorker cluster client is either a physical client or a virtual client.
A physical client resource backs up data belonging to a physical node within a cluster.
A virtual client resource backs up data belonging to a highly available or scalable
service within a cluster.
Virtual server A NetWorker server that is configured as a highly available application
within a cluster.
Stand-alone NetWorker server A NetWorker server that is not highly available.
Cluster-aware NetWorker server A NetWorker server that can recognize cluster clients.

About Clustering
Clustering means that two or more nodes are connected and appear to network users
as a single, highly available system. A highly available system allows the application
services to continue despite most hardware or software failures. Each cluster node has
its own IP address. Each cluster node might also have private (local) resources or disks
that are available only to that computer. In addition to the nodes, a cluster can have one
or more virtual services, each with its own IP address. A virtual service can have zero or
more shared disks.
Figure 1 on page 38 displays a general cluster configuration consisting of two or more
nodes and at least one NetWorker server. In this illustration:

Node 1 is a computer with its own Local Disk.


Node 2 is a computer with its own Local Disk.
Highly available NetWorker Server on the Virtual Server owns Shared Disks.

In this example, the NetWorker server can fail over between Node 1 and
Node 2; however, the NetWorker server only runs on one node at a time.
The NetWorker server inherits the virtual servers IP address. Although NetWorker
software is installed on all the physical nodes within the cluster, the server software is
active on only one node at a time. If a hardware or software breakdown occurs on the
node on which the NetWorker server is running, the NetWorker server moves to
another node in the cluster.
The NetWorker client software runs on all the physical nodes within the cluster,
regardless of whether or not the NetWorker server resource group is running. This
allows the backup of the physical client to proceed, as long as the node is running. Only
one instance of the client software (nsrexecd) runs on each physical node within the
cluster. The NetWorker client software is designed to recognize more than one client
(physical client plus virtual client) that might be associated with a single physical node.

Cluster-Aware and Cluster-Unaware NetWorker Servers


To perform scheduled backups within a cluster, a cluster-aware NetWorker server and
NetWorker client must be installed.
Note: Not all NetWorker servers and clients are cluster-aware. For example:

If a NetWorker server does not have cluster-client support, it cannot recognize


cluster clients. When a scheduled backup is performed, the NetWorker server
backs up only the private data of the physical node. The data is backed up to the
same index representing the physical node.

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

38

Chapter 4: Installing NetWorker Software in a Sun Cluster Version 3.0 or 3.1 Environment

If a NetWorker client does not have cluster-client support, it backs up all data that
belongs to the virtual servers and physical nodes into the same index representing
the physical node. It does not recognize the difference between virtual and
physical clients.

For more information, refer to the LEGATO Compatibility Guides on the LEGATO web
site.

Task 3: Create an Instance of the NetWorker Server Resource Group


A resource group must be created for the highly available NetWorker server. It must
contain the following resources:

Logical hostname
Globally mounted filesystem for the /nsr area
LGTO.serv resource
LGTO.clnt resource
HAStoragePlus (optional)

To create an instance of the NetWorker server resource group, perform the following
steps on one node in the cluster:
1. Create a resource group:
scrgadm -a -g networker
2. Add the logical host resource:
scrgadm -a -L -g networker -l clus_vir1
3. (Optional), create an instance of the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type:
a. Determine if the HAStoragePlus resource type is registered within the cluster:
scrgadm -p | egrep Type
b. If required, register the HAStoragePlus resource type within the cluster:
scrgadm -a -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus
c. Create the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource:
scrgadm -a -g networker -j hastorageplus -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
-x FilesystemMountPoints=/global/clus_vir1/nw,/global/clus_vir1/space \
-x AffinityOn=True
Note: For more information on the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource and how to set
up locally mounted global systems, refer to the Sun Cluster 3.0 or 3.1
documentation.
4. Create an instance of the LGTO.clnt resource type:
scrgadm -a -j client -t LGTO.clnt -g networker \
-x clientname=clus_vir1 \
-x owned_paths=/global/clus_vir1/nw,/global/clus_vir1/space
If the logical host resource name is different than the hostname it specifies, use the
following command to:
a. Set the client name to the virtual hostname.
b. Set the optional network_resource property to the logical host resource name.
For example:

5. Create an instance of the LGTO.serv resource type:


scrgadm -a -j server -t LGTO.serv -g networker \
-y network_resources_used=clus_vir1 \
-y Resource_dependencies=hastorageplus \
-x config_dir=/global/clus_vir1/nw
If the logical host resource name is different than the hostname it specifies, set the
optional servername property to the virtual hostname:
scrgadm -a -j server -t LGTO.serv -g networker \
-y network_resources_used=clus_vir1 \
-x servername=virtual_hostname \
-x config_dir=/global/clus_vir1/nw
Note: If you are using a HAStoragePlus resource, set resource_dependencies
property to the HAStoragePlus resource name.
6. Start the NetWorker resource group:
scswitch -Z -g networker

Example: A Highly Available NetWorker Server


In the following example, a highly available NetWorker server uses the logical
hostname backup_server. The highly available NetWorker server uses /global/networker
(globally mounted filesystem) as its configuration directory.
1. Create a resource group with the name backups:
scrgadm -a -g backups
2. Add the logical hostname resource type to the resource group created in the
previous step:
scrgadm -a -L -g backups -l backup_server
3. Create an instance of the LGTO.serv resource type with the name networker_server.
This resource belongs to the resource group backups and has a dependency on the
logical host created in the previous step. Specify the configuration directory on the
globally mounted filesystem /global/networker:
scrgadm -a -j networker_server -t LGTO.serv -g backups \
-y network_resources_used=backup_server \
-x config_dir=/global/networker
4. The NetWorker logical host is also a client of the highly available NetWorker
server. Create an instance of the LGTO.clnt resource type for the logical host
backup_server within the resource group backups. The name of this resource is
networker_client:
scrgadm -a -j networker_client -t LGTO.clnt -g backups \
-x clientname=backup_server -x owned_paths=/global/networker
5. Start the highly available service associated with the resource group backups.
scswitch -Z -g backups

To add a SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource to an existing NetWorker server resource
group:
1. Determine whether the HAStoragePlus resource type is registered within the
cluster:
scrgadm -p | egrep Type
2. If required, register the HAStoragePlus resource type within the cluster:
scrgadm -a -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus
3. Create the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource:
scrgadm -a -g networker -j hastorageplus -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus -x
FilesystemMountPoints=/global/clus_vir1/nw,/global/clus_vir1/space \
-x AffinityOn=True
4. Enable the HAStoragePlus resource:
scswitch -e -j hastorageplus
5. Set up a dependency for the NetWorker Server resource on the HAStoragePlus
resource:
scrgadm -c -j server -y Resource_Dependencies=hastorageplus
6. Verify that the resource dependencies are correctly set:
scrgadm -pvv -j server | egrep strong

Task 5: Grant Access to the Highly Available NetWorker Server


Before a NetWorker server can back up a client, the client must grant the server access.
Granting access is controlled by the servers file. For the node that is running the
NetWorker Server resource group, this file is located in the globally mounted
filesystem. Otherwise, this file is located on a local disk.

Important: If the /nsr/res/servers file is empty or does not exist, any NetWorker server
is authorized to:
Access and back up the client
Perform a directed recovery to the client

To grant access to the highly available NetWorker server:


1. On one node in the cluster:
a. Stop the NetWorker service using the cluster management software, as
follows:
scswitch -F -g networker

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

46

Chapter 4: Installing NetWorker Software in a Sun Cluster Version 3.0 or 3.1 Environment

b. Edit or create the servers file in the globally mounted /nsr area. For example,
/global/nw/res/servers:
Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, to be granted access to
this client.
Add an entry for the NetWorker logical hostname first. Then add entries
for each physical host that can run the NetWorker resource group.
For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2
2. On each node in the cluster:
a. Shut down the NetWorker processes and verify that all NetWorker daemons
have stopped:
nsr_shutdown
ps -ef | grep nsr
b. Check the NetWorker boot-time startup file to see whether nsrexecd is being
run with the -s option. If the -s option exists, remove all occurrences of
-s servername in the file.
c. Edit or create the /nsr.NetWorker.local/res/servers file:
Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.
Add an entry for the NetWorker logical hostname first. Then add entries
for each physical host that can run the NetWorker resource group.
For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2
d. Restart the NetWorker processes:
/etc/init.d/networker start
3. On one node in the cluster, start the NetWorker service using the cluster
management software, as follows:
scswitch -Z -g networker
4. If required, grant access to the NetWorker virtual server on clients outside of the
cluster:
On each client that is outside of the cluster:
a. Shut down the NetWorker processes:
nsr_shutdown
b. Verify that all NetWorker daemons have stopped:
ps -ef |grep nsr

Task 6: Configure the NetWorker Server


To configure the NetWorker server:
1. Log in as root on the cluster node that is currently running the NetWorker server
resource group.
2. Start the NetWorker Administrator program:
nwadmin -s clus_vir1
3. From the Server menu, select Server Setup.
4. In the Server dialog box, add entries in the Administrator attribute for any cluster
nodes that are not listed. For example:
root@hostname
5. Click Add and then click Apply.

Task 7: Configure Clients under the NetWorker Server


When the networker.cluster script runs, it creates a symbolic link named /nsr that
points to a local disk. It also creates a second link named nsr.NetWorker.local that points
to the local NetWorker directory. For example, if the local NetWorker directory was
created in /var/nsr, each client member has the following links:

/nsr->/nsr.NetWorker.local
/nsr.NetWorker.local->/var/nsr

To configure each client under the NetWorker server:


1. From one node in the cluster, start the NetWorker Administrator program:
nwadmin -s clus_vir1
2. (Optional) Define save groups as required:
a. From the Customize menu, select Groups.

Task 8: Create Instances of the NetWorker Client Resource Type


An instance of the NetWorker Client resource type must be created for each virtual
client that accesses data on globally mounted filesystems. Virtual clients in Sun Cluster
3.0 and 3.1 are either logical hostnames or shared addresses.

Important: All globally mounted filesystems (except the /global/.devices/... filesystems)


must be owned by a resource group and defined in a NetWorker Client resource type.
If the filesystems are not properly configured, multiple copies will be backed up for
each cluster node.

To back up the data for a virtual client:


1. Create an instance of the NetWorker Client resource as part of an existing resource
group that contains a logical host or shared addresses. For example:
scrgadm -a -j resource_name -g resource_group_name -t LGTO.clnt \
-x clientname=virtual_hostname -x owned_paths=pathname_1, pathname_2[,...]
The virtual_hostname variable is a hostname specified by a logical hostname or
shared address resource. By default, the logical hostname or shared address
resource name is the same as the first hostname in the list of hostnames the
resource controls.
If the logical hostname or shared address resource was explicitly named, set the
optional network_resource property to the resource name:
scrgadm -a -j resource_name -g resource_group_name -t LGTO.clnt \
-x clientname=virtual_hostname
-x network_resource=logicalhostname_ or_SharedAddress_resource_name \
-x owned_paths=pathname_1, pathname_2[,...]
For more information, see the following examples:
"Example: A Highly Available Informix Database Server" on page 51
"Example: A Scalable Apache Web Server" on page 51
2. Run a test probe to verify that the Client and Group resources are properly
configured.
On the node on which the NetWorker server resides, run the following command:
savegrp -pv -c client_name savegroup_name
If the test probe does not display the scheduled backups and index, refer to the
section on "Tracking Scheduled Saves" in the NetWorker Administrators Guide.

Configuring an External Client to a Virtual Server


Use this procedure to configure and back up an external NetWorker client to a highly
available NetWorker server. Before a NetWorker server can back up a client, the client
must grant the server access. Granting access is controlled by the servers file. If the
servers file does not exist, any NetWorker server can back up this client. If the servers file
does exist, only the specific servers listed in the file can back up the client.
On each NetWorker client that is outside of the cluster:
1. Shut down the NetWorker processes:
nsr_shutdown
2. Verify that all NetWorker daemons have stopped:
ps -ef |grep nsr
3. Edit or create the /nsr/res/servers file:
a. Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.

Defining Ownership of a Raw Partition for Virtual Clients


To back up the raw partitions of a NetWorker virtual client, make sure that the raw
device path appears in the owned paths field of the LGTO.clnt resource.

Example: A Highly Available Web Server


In the following example, a highly available web server uses the shared address
web_server. The web server daemons are placed under the control of the resource group
apache_rg. The daemons access files that are kept in two separate globally mounted
filesystems: /global/web/config and /global/web/data. The web server also accesses the raw
partition /dev/md/hunt/rdsk/d30.
To create the NetWorker Client resource named apache_nw, enter the following:
scrgadm -a -j apache_nw -g apache_rg -t LGTO.clnt -x
clientname=web_server \
-x owned_paths=/global/web/config,/global/web/data,/dev/md/hunt/rdsk/d30

For more information on backing up raw partitions, refer to the rawasm command as

Task 3: Grant Access to the NetWorker Virtual Server


Before a NetWorker server can backup a client, the client must grant the server access.
Granting access is controlled by the /nsr/res/servers file.

Important: If the /nsr/res/servers file is empty or does not exist, any NetWorker server
is authorized to:
access and backup the client
perform a directed recover to the client

To grant access to the NetWorker virtual server:


1. On each node in the cluster:
a. Shut down the NetWorker processes and verify that all NetWorker daemons
have stopped.
b. Edit or create the /nsr.NetWorker.local/res/servers file:
Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.
For each virtual NetWorker server, add an entry for each physical host
and the virtual NetWorker server. For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2
c. Check the NetWorker boot-time startup file to see whether nsrexecd is being
run with the -s option. If the -s option exists, remove all occurrences of
-s servername in the file.
2. On one node in the cluster, start the NetWorker service using the cluster
management software.
a. Bring the NetWorker Resource Group online using ftconsole.
b. Edit or create the /nsr/res/servers file:
Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.
For each virtual NetWorker server, add an entry for each physical host
and the virtual NetWorker server. For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2

Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.
For each virtual NetWorker server, add an entry for each physical host
and the virtual NetWorker server. For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2

Task 4: Configure the NetWorker Server


To configure the NetWorker server:
1. Log in as root on the cluster node that is running the NetWorker virtual server and
start the NetWorker Administrator program:
nwadmin -s clus_vir1
2. From the NetWorker Administrator program, select Server Setup.
a. In the Administrator attribute, add entries for any cluster nodes that are not
already listed. For example:
root@hostname
b. Click Add and select Apply.

Task 5: Configure Clients under the NetWorker Server


When the /usr/sbin/networker.cluster script runs, it creates a symbolic link, /nsr, that
points to a local disk. It also creates a second link named nsr.NetWorker.local that points
to the local NetWorker directory. For example, if the local NetWorker directory was
created in /var/nsr, each client member will have the following links:

/nsr->/nsr.NetWorker.local
/nsr.NetWorker.local->/var/nsr

To configure each client under the NetWorker server:


1. (Optional) Define save groups as required:
a.
b.

Configuring an External Client to a Virtual Server


Use the following procedure to configure and back up an external NetWorker client to
a NetWorker highly available server.
Before a NetWorker server can back up a client, the server must be granted access.
Granting access is controlled by editing the /nsr/res/servers file.

Important: If the /nsr/res/servers file is empty or does not exist, any NetWorker server
is authorized to:
access and backup the client
perform a directed recover to the client

On each NetWorker client that is outside of the cluster:


1. Shut down the NetWorker processes and verify that all NetWorker daemons have
stopped.
2. Edit or create the /nsr/res/servers file:
a. Add the set of NetWorker servers, one per line, that require access to this
client.
b. For each virtual NetWorker server, add an entry for each physical host and
the virtual NetWorker server. For example:
clus_vir1
clus_phys1
clus_phys2

Defining Ownership of a Raw Partition for Virtual Clients


To back up the raw partitions of a NetWorker virtual client, use the IPOverride option.
1. Open the LEGATO Automated Availability Manager console and select Resource
Group. The Resource Group Editor window appears.
2. Select the Edit View tab and then select Edit>Attributes. The Define Resource
Group Attributes window appears.
3. Add the following line in the Define Resource Group Attributes window:
IPOverride=IP_address=raw_partition_path
For example: IPOverride=135.69.103.149=/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s1
Note: The IPOverride attribute does not add to the normal list of virtual client owned
paths, but completely overrides them. In the previous example, if the virtual client also
owns the filesystem /share/web, set the following path:
IPOverrride=135.69.103.149=/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s1, /share/web

Chapter 5: Installing NetWorker Software in a LEGATO Automated Availability Manager Environment

Tracking Scheduled Saves


To verify that the Client and Group resources have been properly configured, run a test
probe for each client from the node where the NetWorker is running:
savegrp -pv -c client_name group_name
If the test probe does not display all the scheduled save sets, do one of the following
and run a second test probe to verify the configuration:

Check the cluster configuration. If necessary, reconfigure the cluster.


Make sure that the save sets defined for the client are owned by that client. If
necessary, redistribute the client save sets to the appropriate Client resources.

Important: Misconfiguration of the cluster resources might cause scheduled save sets
to be dropped from the backup. For more information, see LEGATO NetWorker
Administrators Guide.

To override scheduled save rules (not path ownership rules), run the following
command on each node in the cluster:
touch networker_bin_dir/pathownerignore
This command allows any path to be backed up for a client, whether it is owned
by the virtual client or physical node. For detailed information, see LEGATO
NetWorker Administrators Guide.
If pathownerignore was used, check that the NetWorker scheduled save uses the
correct client index. If it uses the wrong index, save sets can be forced to go to a specific
index:
1. In the NetWorker Administrator program, select Clients>Clients Setup.
2. For the Backup command attribute, enter the name of a backup script that contains
save -c client_name.
For detailed information about the Backup command attribute, see LEGATO NetWorker
Administrators Guide.

Uninstalling the NetWorker Software


To uninstall the NetWorker software from a cluster environment:
1. If necessary, use the cluster management software to stop the NetWorker server
daemons.
2. Shut down the client daemons on the node on which the NetWorker software is
being removed:
nsr_shutdown

3. Make sure that the $FT_DIR and the $FT_DOMAIN environment variables have
been set.
4. Run the /usr/sbin/networker.cluster -r command. For example:
/usr/sbin/networker.cluster -r
5. Remove the subsets for the following packages with the pkgrm command in the
following order. For example:
pkgrm LGTOman LGTOserv LGTOnode LGTOdrvr LGTOlicm LGTOclnt

NetWorker Cluster Script


This example, generated when the networker.cluster script runs, it uses the following
configuration:

Virtual server: clus_vir1


Virtual server IP address: 192.168.1.10
Mount point: /nsr_shared_mnt_pt
-----------------------------------------------------------LEGATO Cluster x.y installations have a hierarchy of cluster
objects which define high available applications. Each
application service is associated with a resource group that
encapsulates services, IPs and data sources, which may fail over
from one physical host to the next, depending on the availability
and health of the machine it is running upon. When a failover
occurs, this logical host--aka resource group--moves, carrying
its IP addresses and data sources.
One must define a NetWorker resource group with an IP and shared
data source, which contains the shared /nsr directory, before
using NetWorker. This can be done before or after running this
script. The optional ftcli-import template file
/usr/sbin/nw_ux.imp can be used for this purpose.

Chapter 6: Installing NetWorker Software in a


VERITAS Cluster Server 3.5 Environment

This chapter explains how to install NetWorker software in a VERITAS Cluster Server
3.5 environment. It includes the following sections

"Cluster Concepts and Terminology" on page 75


"Software Requirements" on page 78
"Installing Only the NetWorker Client Software in a Cluster" on page 78
"Uninstalling the NetWorker Software" on page 84
"NetWorker Cluster Script" on page 85

VERITAS Cluster Server 3.5 enables you to run and administer applications as highly
available service groups. For detailed information about VERITAS Cluster Server 3.5,
refer to the Solaris version of the VERITAS Cluster Server Installation Guide and the
VERITAS Cluster Server User's Guide.

Important: A stand-alone or highly available (virtual) NetWorker server is not


supported in the cluster. The NetWorker server must be outside the cluster. Highly
available storage nodes are also not supported in the cluster. However, physical
storage nodes can either be in the cluster or outside the cluster.

Cluster Concepts and Terminology


This section discusses the following:

Chapter 6: Installing NetWorker Software in a VERITAS Cluster Server 3.5 Environment

Cluster Terminology
For consistency and clarity, this section defines the following terms:
Node A physical machine that is a member in the cluster.
Failover node A cluster node to which a highly available application can fail over.
Virtual client A NetWorker client that is associated with a highly available or scalable
service in a cluster.
Cluster client A NetWorker cluster client is either a physical client or a virtual client.
A physical client resource backs up data belonging to a physical node within a cluster.
A virtual client resource backs up data belonging to a highly available or scalable
service within a cluster.
Virtual server A server that is configured as a highly available application within a
cluster.
Stand-alone NetWorker server A NetWorker server that is not highly available.
Cluster-aware NetWorker server A NetWorker server that can recognize cluster clients.

About Clustering
Clustering means that two or more nodes are connected and appear to network users
as a single, highly available system. A highly available system allows the application
services to continue despite most hardware or software failures. Each cluster node has
its own IP address. Each cluster node might also have private (local) resources or disks
that are available only to that computer. In addition to the nodes, a cluster can have one
or more virtual services, each with its own IP address. A virtual service can have zero or
more shared disks.
Figure 4 on page 77 displays a general cluster configuration consisting of two or more
nodes and at least one virtual server. In this illustration:

Node 1 is a computer with its own Local Disk.


Node 2 is a computer with its own Local Disk.
Virtual Server owns Shared Disks.

In this example, the virtual server, clus_log1, can fail over between Node 1 and Node 2;
however, the server only runs on one node at a time.
The NetWorker client software runs on all the physical nodes within the cluster. This
allows the backup of the physical client to proceed, as long as the node is running. Only
one instance of the client software (nsrexecd) runs on each physical node within the
cluster. The NetWorker client software is designed to recognize more than one client
(physical client plus virtual client) that might be associated with a single physical node.

Cluster-Aware and Cluster-Unaware NetWorker Servers and Clients


To perform scheduled backups of cluster data, a cluster-aware NetWorker server and
cluster-aware NetWorker client on the cluster nodes must be installed.
Note: Not all NetWorker servers and clients are cluster-aware. For example:

If a NetWorker server does not have cluster-client support, it cannot recognize


cluster clients. When a scheduled backup is performed, the NetWorker server
backs up only the private data of the physical node. The data is backed up to the
same index representing the physical node.
If a NetWorker client does not have cluster-client support, it backs up all data that
belongs to the virtual servers and physical nodes into the same index
representing the physical node. It does not recognize the difference between
virtual and physical clients.

Installing Only the NetWorker Client Software in a Cluster


In this configuration, the NetWorker server is running on a node that is not a member
of the cluster.
To install a NetWorker cluster client, perform the following tasks:

"Task 1: Install the NetWorker Cluster Client Software" on page 78


"Task 2: Configure NetWorker Client Software as Highly Available" on page 79
"Task 3: Register the NWClient Resource Type and Create Resource Type
Instances" on page 80
"Task 4: Define the List of Trusted NetWorker Servers" on page 82
"Task 5: Configure Clients under the NetWorker Server" on page 83

Important: Make sure that the NetWorker client software is installed on each node in
the cluster.

Task 1: Install the NetWorker Cluster Client Software

Important: Ensure that the Solaris operating environment and the VERITAS Cluster
Server 3.5 software are already installed and configured on all cluster nodes. If the
VERITAS Cluster Server installation and configuration directories are different from
the default directories, set the environment variables VCS_HOME (the default
directory is /opt/VRTSvcs) and VCS_CONF (the default directory is /etc/VRTSvcs) prior
to installing the NetWorker client.
Also, ensure that the PATH environment variable includes /usr/sbin and
$VCS_HOME/bin (the default directory is /opt/VRTSvcs/bin) directories.

virtual host. The virtual hostname can be published in the Domain Name System
(DNS) or Network Information Services (NIS).
3. For each node in the cluster:
a. Run the cluster configuration script, /usr/sbin/networker.cluster.
This script creates NWClient resource types that may need to be added later to
the VERITAS Cluster Server configuration.
b. Enter the following information in response to the prompts:
Enter directory where local NetWorker database is installed
[/nsr]?
Enter the location of the local NetWorker database directory provided
during the installation procedure. For example: /space/nsr
Do you wish to configure for both NetWorker server and
client? Yes or No [Yes]?
Enter No. This configures only the client software.
Note: Any changes to the configuration can be undone by running the
networker.cluster -r option and then running the networker.cluster script
again.

Task 3: Register the NWClient Resource Type and Create Resource Type
Instances
You might need to configure an instance of the NetWorker Client resource type
(NWClient) for virtual clients that own data on shared devices. Virtual clients in the
VERITAS Cluster Server are IP type resources.

Important: Depending on the VERITAS Cluster service group configuration, this task
might not be required. Create an instance of NWClient resource type in VERITAS
Cluster service groups that:
Contain raw devices or logical volumes to back up.
Contain more than one IP type resource.
Are parallel with one or more IP type resources.
Creating an instance of NWClient resource type is optional if the following conditions
exist:

The failover VERITAS Cluster service group has only one IP type resource.
The owned filesystems on the shared devices are instances of the mount type
resource contained in the same service group.

Check the VERITAS Cluster Server configuration to determine which, if any, service
groups require one or more NWClient resources. If no such groups require NWClient
resources, proceed to "Task 4: Define the List of Trusted NetWorker Servers" on
page 82.

About NWClient Resources


Before starting the steps in this task, review the information in this section to become
familiar with the structure of an NWClient resource.
The NWClient resource type definition is:
type NWClient (
static str ArgList[] = { IPAddress, Owned_paths }
NameRule = NWClient_ + resource.IPAddress
static str Operations = None
str IPAddress
str Owned_paths[]
)

3. Make a backup copy of the main.cf file.


cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
cp main.cf main.cf.orig
4. Copy the NWClient resource definition file that is in the VERITAS Cluster Server
configuration directory.
cp /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/NWClient.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf
/config/NWClient.cf
5. Add the NWClient resource type and add NWClient resource type instances by
editing the main.cf file:
a. Add the NWClient resource type definition by adding an include statement to
the main.cf file:
include "NWClient.cf"
b. Add an NWClient resource instance to every service group that contains an IP
type resource and has associated filesystems or raw devices on shared
storage. For more information about a sample NWClient resource type
instance, see "Example: NWClient Resource Sample Configuration" on
page 81.
6. Save and close the file.
7. Verify the syntax of the file, /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf:
hacf -verify config
8. Start the VERITAS Cluster Server engine:
hastart
9. Log in on the remaining nodes in the cluster and start the VERITAS Cluster Server
engine:
hastart
10. Verify the status of all service groups:
hagrp -display

Task 4: Define the List of Trusted NetWorker Servers


Before a NetWorker server can back up a client, the client must grant the server access.
Granting access is controlled by the servers file. For the node that is currently running
the NetWorker server resource group, this file is located in the globally mounted
filesystem. Otherwise, this file is located on a local disk.

Important: If the /nsr/res/servers file is empty or does not exist, any NetWorker server
is authorized to:
access and backup the client
perform a directed recover to the client

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

82

Chapter 6: Installing NetWorker Software in a VERITAS Cluster Server 3.5 Environment

To define the list of trusted NetWorker servers, perform the following steps on each
node in the cluster:
1. Shut down the NetWorker processes and verify that all NetWorker daemons have
stopped:
nsr_shutdown
ps -ef |grep nsr
2. Edit or create the /nsr/res/servers file and add the set of NetWorker servers, one per
line, that require access to this client.
3. Check the NetWorker boot-time startup file to see whether nsrexecd is being run
with the -s option. If the -s option exists, remove all occurrences of -s servername in
the file.
4. Restart the NetWorker daemons:
/etc/init.d/networker start

Task 5: Configure Clients under the NetWorker Server


To configure each client under the NetWorker server:
1. From any node in the cluster, start the NetWorker Administrator program:

This chapter provides information on installing and configuring autochangers. It


includes the following:

"About Autochangers" on page 86


"Supported Vendor-Specific ASC and ASCQ Codes" on page 87
"Autochanger Configuration and Testing" on page 87
"The jbconfig Command Output" on page 91
"Using the op Driver with Optical Devices"

About Autochangers
Note: The term autochanger refers to a variety of backup devices: library, autoloader,
carousel, datawheel, jukebox, and near-line storage.
For more information about autochanger support by the NetWorker software, refer to
the LEGATO Compatibility Guides on the LEGATO web site.
Notes:

Release 7.0 or later of the NetWorker software includes the ability to recognize
shared drives, known as dynamic drive sharing (DDS). For more information
about DDS, refer to the NetWorker Administrator's Guide.
To install and configure NetWorker support for Network Data Management
Protocol (NDMP), refer to the NetWorker Administrator's Guide.

Important: For all tape devices used with NetWorker software, ensure that the block
size mode specified in the operating system is set to variable. Otherwise, data recovery
may fail. For information about setting the tape device block size mode through the
operating system, refer to the operating system documentation.

Supported Vendor-Specific ASC and ASCQ Codes


In NetWorker software, the Additional Sense Code (ASC) utility, including its
associated ascdcode and library, translates vendor specific ASC and Additional Sense
Code Qualifier (ASCQ) error messages.
The ASC utility is located in the NetWorker driver package, which is a software
requirement for the storage node and the server package. Requisite software is
installed automatically by default, so if you elect to install the storage node, then the
driver package, and thus the ASC utility, is installed automatically.
Notes:

If you elect not to install the requisite software automatically, and you do not
manually select drivers to install with the storage node, the storage node
installation will fail.
If you install only the client package, then the storage node package, and thus the
ASC utility, is not installed.

The ASC utility translates vendor-specific error messages for the following vendors:

ADIC
ATL
BHTi
Benchmark
Exabyte
Fujitsu
HP
IBM
Overland
Plasmon
Qualstar
Quantum
Seagate
STK

Autochanger Configuration and Testing


This section provides instructions on how to configure and test the device driver
software on a NetWorker server or storage node with an attached autochanger. For
more information on configuring an autochanger, refer to the NetWorker Administrators
Guide.
To use an autochanger for NetWorker storage management, follow the procedures for
these tasks:

"Task 1: Configure the Autochanger" on page 88


"Task 2: Test the Autochanger" on page 91

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

87

Chapter 7: Autochanger Installation and Configuration

Task 1: Configure the Autochanger


To configure the autochanger:
1. Make sure the autochanger is connected.
2. Log in as root on the NetWorker server.
3. Enter the inquire command. The inquire command for the Solaris platform is:
/usr/sbin/inquire
The inquire command allows you to verify that the autochanger is attached, and
to determine the following information about the robotics and tape drives:
SCSI address
Vendor and model
Firmware
Device type and pathname
Serial number
Note: If inquire does not display the device pathname, there are several possible
causes:
The computer might need to be rebooted.
The cabling or hardware configuration might be incorrect.
The device driver might not be installed. Contact the vendor to obtain the
driver.
For more information about the inquire command, refer to the inquire(1m) man
page.
4. Run the sjisn command with the SCSI address of the autochanger you want to
configure:
sjisn scsi_address
For supported autochangers, the sjisn command lists the drives, identified by
serial number, in the order that they occur in the autochanger. For example, for the
Exabyte 221L shown previously, enter:
sjisn 4.2.0
The output from sjisn displays the serial number identification of the drives one
by one, as in the following example:
aurora{root}8: sjisn 4.2.0
Serial Number data for 4.2.0 (EXABYTE Exabyte 221L ):
Library:
Serial Number: 99999999
SCSI-3 Device Identifiers:
WWNN:1234567812345678
Drive at element address 82:
Serial Number: 6811004028
SCSI-3 Device Identifiers:
ATNN:IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 6811004028
WWNN:502342877745328A
Drive at element address 83:
Serial Number: 6811003960

Installation Guide

88

Chapter 7: Autochanger Installation and Configuration

ATNN:IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 6811003960


WWNN:502342877745333C
If the sjisn output does not provide the serial number information, the
autochanger does not support the sjisn command, but you can continue to use
jbconfig to configure the autochanger.
For more information about the sjisn command, refer to the sjisn(1m) man page.
5. Verify that the NetWorker daemons are running by entering one of the following
commands:
ps -ef | grep nsr
ps -aux | grep nsr
If the NetWorker daemons are not running, start them in the following order:
nsrexecd
nsrd
(Optional) nwadmin &
This command launches the NetWorker Administrator program, which should
display the drives if the configuration is completed correctly.
6. Run the jbconfig command:
jbconfig
The program lists the autochanger types that are supported on the platform used.
7. At the prompt, select one of the available options to indicate which type of
autochanger to install. From this point on, the response from jbconfig varies
depending on the number and type of autochangers that are attached, and the
number of drives in the autochanger being configured.
If only one autochanger is attached that matches your choice, jbconfig
automatically displays the autochanger SCSI address and pathname in response to
your selection. If more than one autochanger is attached that matches your choice,
the matching autochangers are listed and you are prompted to select one of them.
As soon as you select an autochanger, jbconfig automatically displays the
autochanger pathname, as shown in the following example:
Installing 'Exabyte' jukebox - scsidev@4.2.0.
8. Enter a name to assign to the autochanger at the jbconfig command prompt. For
example:
What name do you want to assign to this jukebox device? Exabyte
9. Answer whether you want to enable autocleaning.
10. If all drive and pathname information is available, each drive is listed with its SCSI
address and driver pathname. If there are difficulties locating the drives in the
autochanger, a message explains at this point that you will have to supply the
missing information later on.
11. Answer whether you want to configure any of the drives as shared or NDMP
devices.
12. Answer whether any drive is going to have more than one path defined. If all
drives were listed in step 10, jbconfig goes to step 14.

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

89

Chapter 7: Autochanger Installation and Configuration

13. If drive pathname information was missing at step 10, you are prompted to enter
it for each drive in question in one of the following forms:
/dev/rmt/1cbn --for local path or
host:device-path --for remote node or
host:drive-letter:directory path --for Windows disk file
Drive x, element y
Drive path ? somepath
where:
x and y are supplied by jbconfig.
somepath is supplied by you.
You can use the output from the sjisn command, if the autochanger supports it, to
verify the serial number of the first drive in the autochanger, or to identify it if the
pathname is not automatically supplied. The first drive in the autochanger is the
first drive listed under the library in the sjisn output.
For example, the first drive listed in the sample output from sjisn in step 4 has the
serial number 6811004028:
Drive at element address 82:
Serial Number: 6811004028
Use the output from the inquire command to identify the drive pathname of the
serial number obtained from sjisn.
For example, the drive with serial number 6811004028 in the sample output from
inquire is /dev/rmt/1cbn.
After you have filled in the pathname as prompted, you may be asked to select a
drive type number from a list of about 50 types.
The process in step 13 repeats until all unaccounted drives receive pathname
information.
14. Configuration is complete.
When the configuration is complete, the following message appears:
Jukebox has been added successfully.
When you use the jbconfig program to configure an autochanger, a new resource is
created with the name you specified.
To view the:

New Jukebox resource, use the NetWorker Administrator program.


a. If the NetWorker Administrator program is not already running, enter the
command:
nwadmin &
b. From the Media menu, select Jukeboxes.
Attributes of the Jukeboxes resource, refer to the Online Help or the
nsr_jukebox(5) man page.

For more information on the available jbconfig command options, refer to the
jbconfig(1m) man page. For an example, see "The jbconfig Command Output" on
page 91.

Task 2: Test the Autochanger


To test the autochanger connection:
1. Log in as root on the NetWorker server or storage node.
2. Insert two volumes, one each into the first and last slots of the autochanger. Make
sure that the drives are empty and that any drive doors are open.
3. Enter the jbexercise command at the prompt and specify the control port and the
jukebox model. Make sure to use the same control port pathname that was used in
"Task 1: Configure the Autochanger" on page 88.
For example, the following command runs the jbexercise program on the Exabyte
autochanger detected by the jbconfig script:
jbexercise -c scsidev@4.2.0 -m "EXB-220"
To find the text string for the -m model parameter, run the jbexercise command
without any options to obtain a list of supported models. For additional
information on the command options available for the jbexercise command, refer
to the jbexercise(1m) man page.
Notes:
To list the SCSI devices that are available, use the inquire command. The
control port for SCSI autochangers is typically expressed in the format
scsidev@n.n.n.
To obtain information about a standard SCSI jukebox, run the jbexercise
command with the following options:
jbexercise -m scsidev@n.n.n -c bus.target.lun

To obtain the exact SCSI address for the -c parameter, use output from the
inquire command, or the response displayed by the jbconfig command script
when the autochanger was configured:
Installing 'Exabyte' jukebox - scsidev@4.2.0.
For additional information on the command options available for the
jbexercise command, refer to the jbexercise(1m) man page.

The jbconfig Command Output


The following is an example of what would be displayed when installing an
autodetected SCSI jukebox on a Solaris computer. In this case, only one autochanger,

Using the op Driver with Optical Devices


Solaris support for optical drives is enhanced by the NetWorker optical device driver
op, which enables the use of optical disks with sectors larger than 512 bytes (1,024,
2,048, and 4,096). After NetWorker software is installed, the op driver is used with any
device, attached to the Solaris system, whether a stand-alone device or autochanger,
that claims to be an optical device. On system reboot with the -r option, the op driver
is configured for each optical device, resulting in a device file of the form /dev/opticalN
for each optical drive.
Because HP optical drives can run in either "disk drive" or "optical" mode, any optical
drives running in disk drive mode must be reset to optical mode using the hpflip
utility. Once the HP optical drive is set to optical mode, reboot the system so that the
settings for attached devices are reread.

How to Reset HP Optical Drives


To reset HP optical drives to optical mode:
1. Run the inquire command to obtain the SCSI address of the optical device, which
will be is returned in the form scsidev@b.t.l, where:

b is the bus ID
t is the target ID
l is the logical unit number (LUN) ID

2. Run hpflip as follows:


hpflip -a b.t.l -o
where b.t.l is the SCSI address of the optical device, as returned by the inquire
command, and -o sets the specified drive to optical.
3. Reboot the computer with the -r option as follows, to make the changes performed
by hpflip visible to the operating system:
reboot -dl -- -rv

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker


Software

When the NetWorker software is installed, it is in a temporary evaluation mode with


all of the features available. This chapter explains how to enable the NetWorker
software and features for permanent use. The chapter also describes the LEGATO
NetWorker licensing model and provides a basic explanation of licensing for the
different NetWorker editions, modules, and features, but it does not provide a
comprehensive description of every possible licensing scenario. For specific licensing
questions, contact a LEGATO sales representative.
The chapter includes the following sections:

"How NetWorker Software Is Licensed" on page 94


"The Evaluation Process" on page 95
"The Licensing Process" on page 96
"NetWorker Licenses" on page 99
"Additional Licenses" on page 101

How NetWorker Software Is Licensed


Licensing NetWorker software means entering enabler and authorization codes on the
server for the NetWorker environment. Without these codes, the software or added
features will not run beyond the evaluation period.
Each installation of NetWorker server software must be licensed with a base enabler
which turns on the software and allows you to use a particular bundle of features,
such as a specified number of clients and devices. All licensing takes place on the
server: The licenses are entered and stored on the server, and the server enforces the
licensing.
Base enablers come in four editions:

Power Edition
Network Edition
Workgroup Edition
Business Edition

These four editions enable varying degrees of functionality. Add-on enablers allow a
broader scope of features. For more information about the editions and different
functionality, see "NetWorker Licenses" on page 99.

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software

The Evaluation Process


Evaluating NetWorker software can take place in two ways:

Evaluating a new installation of the software on a NetWorker server


Evaluating NetWorker features on an existing NetWorker installation

Evaluating a New Installation


When you first install the NetWorker software, you can evaluate it with all the features
for 30 days free without entering any codes.
By the end of the evaluation period, you must purchase, enter, and authorize a base
enabler to continue using the NetWorker software to back up data. The base enabler is
the license that enables the edition purchased. To obtain a base enabler, contact either
LEGATO Sales or a LEGATO Reseller. For contact information, see "Information and
Services" on page 12. For more information about entering and authorizing the enabler,
see "The Licensing Process" on page 96.
To continue using some of the features that were available with the evaluation
software, you may need to purchase add-on enablers, depending on the edition of base
enabler you purchase. For more information about the different NetWorker editions
and features, see "NetWorker Licenses" on page 99.

Evaluating Features on an Existing Installation


If you are evaluating one or more NetWorker features on an edition of NetWorker
software that has already been installed and enabled, you must enter a temporary
enabler for each feature. The temporary enabler is valid for 45 days.

To obtain a temporary enabler code, refer to the Contents documentation in the


LEGATO media kit, or contact LEGATO Sales or a LEGATO Reseller.
To enter the temporary enabler code, see "How to Enter a Temporary Enabler
Code" on page 96.

Note: If the Business, Network, or Workgroup edition is already installed and enabled
on a computer, and you want to evaluate Power Edition, LEGATO recommends using
a different computer as a temporary NetWorker server for evaluation purposes.
By the end of the evaluation period, you must purchase, enter, and authorize the
corresponding license enablers to continue using features you have evaluated. For
instructions, see "The Licensing Process" on page 96. For more information about the
different NetWorker editions and features, see "NetWorker Licenses" on page 99.

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software

How to Enter a Temporary Enabler Code


To enter the temporary enabler code:
1. Log in as root or as NetWorker administrator on the NetWorker server.
2. Start the NetWorker Administrator program:
nwadmin &
3. From the Server menu, select Registration.
The Registration window opens.
4. Click the Create button.
5. Enter the enabler code in the Enabler Code attribute.
Filling in the Comment attribute is optional.
6. Click Apply.

Important: The temporary enabler code is valid on only one computer in a network. If
you enter the same code on more than one computer in a network, a copy protection
violation error occurs and the NetWorker server software is disabled on all NetWorker
servers with duplicate enablers.

The Licensing Process


To permanently use NetWorker software, you must purchase and enter a license
enabler code, and then authorize it. This licensing process is the same for all editions
of NetWorker software as well as for individual features. To purchase the license
enabler, contact a LEGATO sales representative.
The license enabler code that you purchase is valid for 45 days, as a registration period.
During the registration period, you must obtain and enter a corresponding
authorization code.
The following sections explain how to enter and authorize the license enabler:

"Task 1: Enter the License Enabler Code" on page 97


"Task 2: Obtain an Authorization Code" on page 97
"Task 3: Enter the Authorization Code" on page 98

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software

Task 1: Enter the License Enabler Code


License enabler codes are included in either the letter announcing the updated or
upgraded software, or on the Enabler Certificate you receive when you purchase a
software license. This depends on whether the software purchased is a first-time
purchase, or an updated or upgraded version.
Note: To save time when entering a number of licenses, enter the base enabler last.
Otherwise, once a base enabler is entered, devices that do not yet have licenses entered
may be disabled; those devices would have to be re-enabled manually after their
licenses were installed.
To enter the license enabler code:
1. Log in as root or as NetWorker administrator on the NetWorker server.
2. Start the NetWorker Administrator program:
nwadmin &
3. From the Server menu, select Registration.
The Registration window opens.
4. If the Registration list displays a temporary enabler for the product or feature
being licensed, highlight the enabler and click the Delete button.
5. In the Registration window, click the Create button.
6. Enter the enabler code in the Enabler Code attribute.
Filling in the Comment attribute is optional.
7. Click Apply.
After you enter the license enabler code, you have 45 days, as a registration period, to
authorize the NetWorker software.

Task 2: Obtain an Authorization Code


Registration of NetWorker software takes place by obtaining an authorization code.
Obtain a unique authorization code through one of the following methods:

"Using the LEGATO Web Site"


"By Fax or E-mail"

Important: If the software or feature is not authorized by the end of the 45-day
registration period, the NetWorker backup function or feature is disabled. However,
data that was backed up during the registration period can still be recovered from local
devices.

4. In the Registration window, highlight the appropriate license.


5. In the Auth Code text box, enter the authorization code, and then click Apply.
If the authorization process is successful, the expiration date for the license displays
Authorized - No expiration date. If the authorization is not verified in this way,
contact LEGATO Support.

Important: To avoid an interruption in scheduled backups if you move the NetWorker


software from one computer to another, or to change the network address of a
computer after the software is installed, you must either:
Contact LEGATO Licensing to obtain a new authorization code. LEGATO
requires the host ID of the original server as well as the new server. The host ID is
displayed in the servers Registration window.
For contact information, see "Licensing and Registration" on page 13.
Install and configure the LEGATO License Manager software. For more
information on using the License Manager, see "Additional Licenses" on page 101;
also refer to the LEGATO License Manager Installation and Administrator's Guide,
2nd Edition.

NetWorker Licenses
There are four different levels, or editions of base enablers:

NetWorker Workgroup Edition enables you to back up the server and up to seven
clients. NetWorker Workgroup Edition does not include support for additional
clients or optional software features, such as NetWorker Archive. If you decide at
a later date to purchase a higher level of NetWorker software, all of the data
backed up by NetWorker Workgroup Edition is recoverable by any level of
NetWorker software you purchase.
NetWorker Business Edition is the same as the Workgroup Edition, except that it
includes a license to use an autochanger (1-26 slots) as part of its base enabler,
allows backing up a two-node cluster client, and allows NDMP connections.
NetWorker Network Edition enables you to back up the server and as many client
workstations as the number of client connections purchased. You can upgrade
this edition to include support for additional clients and autochangers, as well as
optional software features.
NetWorker Power Edition is a server software product that has been specially
tuned to protect and provide backup for environments that support Very Large
Database (VLDB) or large filesystem applications (in the terabyte range). You can
also upgrade NetWorker Power Edition to include support for cluster servers and
clients.

Each of these editions permits you to use the software for a specified number of clients
and devices. These four editions also enable different degrees of parallelism and
support for different add-on modules, including extra client connections, devices, or
features. For more information on NetWorker licenses, refer to the NetWorker
Administrators Guide.

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software

Multiplatform Licensing
The client connections that come with a NetWorker server can be used for only that
server platform; a ClientPak license allows the NetWorker server to back up clients of
different platforms. For example, the client connections accompanying a NetWorker
server for Windows can be used only for Windows client computers; similarly, the
client connections that come with a NetWorker server for Solaris can be used for Solaris
clients only. With a ClientPak for UNIX, other UNIX platforms can be enabled for use
with the NetWorker Server for Solaris. The ClientPak for UNIX supports all UNIX
platforms; therefore, the UNIX ClientPak is sufficient for all UNIX clients backed up by
a UNIX or Windows server.
Note: The NetWorker software treats Linux as a separate operating system, so a
ClientPak for Linux is necessary to back up Linux clients by either UNIX or Windows
servers.

Example: Multiplatform Licensing Schemes


A company was using a Solaris server to back up Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT
clients. It needed two ClientPak licenses, one for Linux and one for Windows. The
company added HP-UX and AIX clients, which required the addition of a ClientPak
license for UNIX. As the company grew and needed to add a server, it added a
Windows 2000 server, which backed up the Windows NT and subsequent Windows
2000 clients without requiring a ClientPak. The company also made the Solaris
computer a NetWorker server to back up the HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX clients, using the
single ClientPak for UNIX.

Update Enablers
To update existing NetWorker software to a major release (one that introduces
important new features), an update enabler is necessary. Update enablers are required
for any major NetWorker software upgrade from release 4.0 and later, including
NetWorker release 7.2. To use the LEGATO License Manager, the NetWorker server
must be release 5.0 or later.
With a first-time purchase of NetWorker software, a one-year update agreement may
be included. After a year, an update enabler may be acquired with a new update
agreement purchase.

Additional Licenses
This section describes a few of the additional licenses required to operate some of the
NetWorker features. For a complete list, contact a LEGATO sales representative.

Client Connection Licenses


Every computer to be backed up in a NetWorker data zone requires a client connection
license, even the NetWorker server. The client connection license may be one of the
licenses supplied with the base enabler or purchased separately. A cluster client or
NDMP data server requires a special type of client connection license, as described in
"Cluster Clients" on page 102 or "NDMP Licensing" on page 102.

Storage Nodes
Each storage node requires a storage node license in addition to its client connection
license. A dedicated storage node, which allows the storage node to back up only itself, is
licensed separately.

LEGATO NetWorker, Release 7.2, Solaris Version


Installation Guide

101

Chapter 8: Evaluating and Licensing NetWorker Software

LEGATO NetWorker Application Modules


NetWorker Application Modules are licensed on the basis of one enabler per database
type host. For example, to back up the Oracle database on two hosts, two NetWorker
Module for Oracle enablers are required, even if the two hosts are backed up by the
same NetWorker server. However, if multiple database instances are running on a
NetWorker client host, only one NetWorker Module enabler is required for that one
host.

Cluster Clients
For each physical node in a cluster, you must purchase a Cluster Client Connection,
which takes the place of one standard client connection. To place a NetWorker server
in a cluster, you must have Power Edition. For more information on licensing
computers in a cluster, refer to the NetWorker Administrators Guide.

NDMP Licensing
NDMP licensing requires one NDMP Client Connection per NDMP data server. The
NDMP Client Connection is valid for any supported NDMP data server. The NDMP
data server does not require a standard client connection.
