Networker Client Config HP UX and Solaris

Hi All,

Discussing some points to be taken care while taking and restoring backup from EMC Networker.

a. Networker Client has to be installed on the server.
b. to install the client on HP UX, use below command:-

Networker 7.6.2 or 7.6.1 will come in .pkg format, just copy the same in /tmp location and then use below command

swinstall -s /tmp/networker7.6.2.pkg :---- HP UX

pkgadd /tmp/networker7.6.2.pkg :--- Solaris

---use tab and mark the package there with m and go to install, let that complete 100% done.

--- after installation of networker client. verify the same with
command "swlist -l NetWorker"
--- files and important directories for configuration of Networker client on server.
1. vi /nsr/res/server :--- this should have Networker Server entry with FQDN option. example

nw-bkp16
nw-bkp16-xyz.com

2. the same entry should be there in /etc/hosts file for resoultion.

3. copy /etc/initSID.sap file in /oracle/SID/112_64/dbs/
4. edit this file with backuptype=online, /dev/rmt/0mn and /dev/rmt/0m is rew tape, uncomment
util_file=/oracle/SID/112_64/dbs/initSID.utl. there are some more things where we need to edit as per the server.
5. edit /oracle/SID/112_64/dbs/initSID.utl file as below:-


client= "your server hostname whose backup is to be taken"
Server= " networker Server hostname"
verbose=9

6. now we have to edit /opt/networker/brbackup.cfg which will be edited on basis of enviornment of DB. for the same check in logining into the server with orasid user as :-

su - orasid

orasid>env

this command will show path and LD_library path, PATH and other variables like NLS_LANG, we need to use the same as wirrten there in brbackup.cfg.

when this is done, Archive backup just copy the same brbackup.cfg as

cp -rp brbackup.cfg brarch.cfg


and please note that, we will be using path of this file in Networker Backup console/client.

run the below command from root login
/opt/networker/bin/nsrsapadm -P -z /opt/networker/nsrsapsv.cfg
please enter the user name as root and the password as same as in Step-1, once that is
finished it will ask to change for DB user
oracle user name:- nwdba
password:- dba#4321
/opt/networker/bin/nsrsapadm -P -z /opt/networker/nsrsapsv.cfg
Enter Operating System username: root
Enter password:
Confirm password:
32422:(pid 14206):Parameter OS_USR_PASSWD in configuration file /opt/networker/nsrsapsv.cfg is updated
Is Oracle Database Authentication used? : Y
Enter Oracle Database username: nwdba
Enter password: ********
Confirm password: ********
32422:(pid 14206):Parameter ORACLE_USR_PASSWD in configuration file /opt/networker/nsrsapsv.cfg is updated
#
7-2)))) We also need to change password for brarch backup
#/opt/networker/bin/nsrsapadm -P -z /opt/networker/nsrsapsv_brarch.cfg
Enter Operating System username: root
Enter password: ********
Confirm password: ********
32422:(pid 14455):Parameter OS_USR_PASSWD in configuration file /opt/networker/nsrsapsv_brarch.cfg is updated
Is Oracle Database Authentication used? : Y
Enter Oracle Database username: nwdba
Enter password: ********
Confirm password: ********
32422:(pid 14455):Parameter ORACLE_USR_PASSWD in configuration file /opt/networker/nsrsapsv_brarch.cfg is updated

Set the TCP keepalive interval in behind the firewall server.
ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval
7200000
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 30000
put the below entry in nddconf file for permanent.
TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=tcp
NDD_NAME[0]=tcp_keepalive_interval
NDD_VALUE[0]=30000
when all this is done:-
run /sbin/init.d/networker stop and then start from # prompt i.e. with root privileges.
