Installing the universal share accelerator

The install process is very similar with NetBackup client installation, the details about the NetBackup client installation can be found at the following links:

  • About NetBackup client installation on UNIX and Linux

  • Installing UNIX clients locally

To install the universal share accelerator

  1. Add the option INCLUDE_VRTSPDDEU_CLIENT into NBInstallAnswer.conf file.

    To automatically install the binaries for accelerator you need to add the option 'INCLUDE_VRTSPDDEU_CLIENT = INCLUDE' into /tmp/NBInstallAnswer.conf. The binary does not install it by default.

  2. Add the CLIENT entry with the workload FQDN into the NetBackup primary server /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
  3. Copy the NetBackup Linux client package to the workload server.

    About NetBackup client installation on UNIX and Linux

    For more information about how to install the client on UNIX and Linux, refer to the NetBackup Installation Guide.
