NetBackup™ Flex Scale Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing EEBs during upgrade

NetBackup Flex Scale upgrades to version 3.5.100 supports installation of Emergency Engineering Binaries (EEBs) during upgrade. It ensures that known vulnerabilities and bugs are addressed during upgrade.

You can upload the following EEBs before starting an upgrade:

  • VRTSnbfsapp_EEB_ET4189567-3.5.0.0-4.x86_64.rpm

  • VRTSnbfsapp_nb_EEB_ET4189143-10.5.0.1-7.x86_64.rpm

  • VRTSnbfsapp_nb_EEB_ET4194051-10.5.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

  • VRTSnbfsapp_nb_EEB_ET4191929-10.5.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

If External Certificate Authority (ECA) is configured on the setup, then it is recommended that the above EEBs should be installed during upgrade, otherwise upgrade to version 3.5.100 may not work.

The above mentioned EEBs should be uploaded on NetBackup Flex Scale web UI before upgrade to install the EEBs during upgrade.

To upload EEBs

  1. Go to Settings > Software management > Add-ons.
  2. If there are no EEBs on your system, click Choose add-ons, select the EEBs, and click Upload file.
  3. 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

Note:

After uploading the EEBs, if the management console fails over to some other node for any reason, then remove the EEBs from NetBackup Flex Scale web UI and re-upload them before upgrade.

To identify the management console node, go to the NetBackup Flex Scale web UI, navigate to Cluster Management > Infrastructure. On the Infrastructure page, the console node field shows the management console node. The remaining nodes are the non-management console nodes.
