CentOS 5.2 x86 and x64 are now supported as a client in NetBackup
6.5.2. This document covers a few known issues when using Centos 5.2 as
a client with NetBackup 6.5.2.
Details:
Issue 1
In the default CentOS 5.2 installation,
SELinux may prevent /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd from loading /usr/openv/lib/libnbmangle.so.
This can result in the
client reporting a Status 24 (socket read error) and/or the following
message(s):
bpcd:
error while loading shared libraries: /usr/openv/lib/libnbmangle.so: cannot
restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
SELinux
is preventing /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd from loading
/usr/openv/lib/libnbmangle.so which requires text
relocation.
In order to start bpcd and address this, perform
the following steps:
1) Edit /etc/selinux/config. Modify "SELINUX=enabled" to
"SELINUX=disabled".
2) Run following commands
as root to enabled proper access to the necessary libraries:
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libnbmangle.so
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libvxPBXCommon.so
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libvxPBX.so
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libvxPBXVxSS.so
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libvxVxSSIOP.so
chcon
-t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/libnbservice.so
3) Restart the system and
client operations should be restored.
Issue 2
The Java NB Console may fail to launch
with error "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/usr/openv/java/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so .6: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or
directory".
LibXp.so.6 may not be
installed by default. If not present, the NetBackup Console will fail to
launch. Either xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm or libXp-1.0.0-11.fc9.i386.rpm is needed before NBU is installed on this
platform. Both of these packages contain the library of
LibXp.so.6.
The rpm command can be used to install the needed
libraries:
rpm
-i libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386.rpm
Issue 3
The rsh-server package may
not be installed by default. If not, Rsh-server must be installed
separately. Rsh is the default method utilized for NetBackup for remote client
installation.
If a remote install is attempted and rsh is not installed, the
following messages will be seen:
...
Client
-- Linux hardware running RedHat2.6
Installing
NetBackup software on
:
Connection refused
Client
is not responding.
install failed
The rpm command can be used to install the
needed libraries:
rpm -i
rsh-server-0.17-38.el5.i386.rpm
