Installing EEBs using GUI
You can install Emergency Engineering Binaries (EEBs) from the GUI using the rolling or the parallel method. In the rolling method, EEBs are installed on each node successively. In the parallel method, EEBs are installed on all the nodes in parallel. Depending on the type of EEB that you choose to install, you have the following installation options:
Data EEBs (including NetBackup EEBs): You can use only the rolling method to install the EEBs. In the rolling method, EEBs are installed on each node successively.
Non-data EEBs (including non-data NetBackup EEBs and appliance EEBs): You can use the rolling or the parallel method to install the EEBs. In the rolling method, EEBs are installed on each node successively. In the parallel method, EEBs are installed on all the nodes in parallel.
Both data and non-data EEBs: You can use only the rolling method to install the EEBs. In the rolling method, EEBs are installed on each node successively.
Note:
The same restrictions apply when you roll back the installed EEBs.
In the GUI, the installed EEBs are listed in ascending order of the dates on which they are installed.
Note:
If disaster recovery is configured, you must upload and install the EEBs separately on both the sites.
See About NetBackup Flex Scale upgrades and EEBs.
To install an EEB using the GUI:
- Download the EEB on the local system.
- Go to Settings > Software management > Add-ons.
If you already have EEBs on your system, all the EEBs (available and installed) are displayed.
- To upload EEBs:
If there are no EEBs on your system, click Choose add-ons, select the EEBs, and click Upload file.
If the EEB that you want to install is not in the displayed EEB list, click Add. In the Upload EEBs screen, click Choose add-ons, select the EEBs, and click Add.
You can upload multiple EEBs simultaneously.
- On the Add-ons tab, select the EEBs that you want to install and click Install.
If only data EEBs are selected, you can perform only the rolling installation. If non-data EEBs are selected, when prompted, choose whether you want to use the rolling or the parallel option. Click Install.
EEB installation progress information is displayed on top of the page. To monitor the progress, click View details.
After the EEBs are installed, the status of the EEBs changes from Available to Installed.
