HOW TO install BackupExec 2010 agent on Debian (RALUS)
I hope this post will be useful to many people (please vote for it or mark it as solution if it helps you). Installing directly RALUS on Debian will not always work. First problem : ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory Second problem : at the end "was not successfully installed" and "impossible to add VRTSralus to (server)" And some others that will get solved when following my solution This is a simple way to install it and avoid these (and other) problems : 1. (optional) Create a folder to keep all RALUS files and copy the archive into it : mkdir /root/BE mkdir /root/BE/RALUS2010 mv RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz /root/BE/RALUS2010/ cd /root/BE/RALUS2010 2. Unpack the archive provided by Symantec tar xzf RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz 3. Stop the RALUS service if it is already installed and runnig /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init stop 4. Very important, if you are under a 64 bit Linux you have to this Extract debian package : tar xzf RALUS64/pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : dpkg -i VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.x86_64.deb Start installation : ./RALUS64/installralus 5. But if you are under a 32 bit Linux you have to this (I didn't tested under 32 bits) : Extract debian package : tar xzf pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.i386.deb Start installation : ./RALUSx86/installralus or ./installralus 6. Be sure to answer all questions correctly especially the one about the host server (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), you must give the IP of the Backup Exec server. 7. Do a restart of the RALUS Backup Exec agent, and it should say "[ OK ]" /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init start I hope it will help ! Send me questions if you have other problems... Denis P.S. Tested with Debian 5.0.3 P.P.S. If you still have some problems : A) If you get "ERROR: VXIF_HOME is invalid. It must point to the root of VxIF. Exiting ...", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 3 : from : VXIF_HOME=../;export VXIF_HOME to : VXIF_HOME=/root/BE/RALUS2010/;export VXIF_HOME B) If you get "./RALUS64/installralus: line 50: ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 50 : from : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ../installralus.pl $* to : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ./installralus.pl $* or to : perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME ./installralus.pl $* (to be clear, remove one dot in front of"/installralus.pl", keep only one dot instead of two) C) If the installation is sucessful but VRTSralus refuses to start, launch /opt/VRTSralus/bin/beremote –-log-console to see the error. If you get error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory you simply need to install the package : Under Debian 6.0.3 : apt-get install libstdc++5 (Thanks to RockwellMuseum)
Question : Regards backup exec 10d
Issue is Server was carashed re-built a new server with same hardware and trying to restore the backup from old server to a new server Getting error : Invalid physical volume library media identifier. Customer want to know if this is related to hardware issue or software issue ? I found a KB link : "Invalid Physical Volume Library Media Identifier" (a0008105 HEX or e00008105 HEX) is reported when a restore job fails. Please let me know If the above KB link will be helpfull ?Server Agent out of date
I started seeing LiveUpdate Information About the agent for windows on at least one server does not have the most recent updates? To Install the most recent updates, on the Backup and restore tab, right click the remote computer that is out of date, and then select Update. 1.There is no indication on what server agent is out of date 2.After right clicking on each server on some I can see Update is grayed out and on some its clickable 3.Does this mean they are out of date and need to be updated? 4.What happen if I update the server will I have to reboot? 5.The server is Windows 2003 with exchange 2003 running on a cluster serves with 2 nodes 6.It seem each node might need the upgrade and the cluster seems to need 7.I am assuming after I update the active node the cluster will be up-to-date 8.Should I manually run LiveUpdate on the backup Exec server monthly and after an update I should update the clients?
