Set up NBU for backup acceleration on Windows

2.1

Prerequisites

2.1.1

Install OST plugin

Make sure that the Dell OST plugin is installed on the DMA client that is used for NBU backup.

2.1.2

Map external_robotics and external_types files

To enable the backup accelerator for DELL DR4x00/DR6X00, the external_robotics.txt and external_types.txt files must
be mapped.

These instructions assume that NetBackup is installed at the default location of C:\Program Files\VERITAS\. If
NetBackup is installed in a different location, substitute that path for C:\Program Files\VERITAS\ in the instructions
below.

1. Copy the external_types.txt file from the temporary location to C:\Program

Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\var\global\ on the master server or EMM server.

2. Copy the external_robotics.txt file from the temporary location to C:\Program

Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\var\global\ on the master server, EMM server, each media server that controls a
robot, and each media server from which robot inventories will be run.

3. Bring up a command window using Start -> Run. Type "cmd".

4. Update the NetBackup Enterprise Media Manager database with the new device mappings version. This only

needs to be done once and must be run from the master server or the EMM server. Use the command format
below that corresponds to the installed version of NetBackup:

NetBackup 6.5/7.0/7.1/7.5: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\tpext -

loadEMM

NetBackup 6.0: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\tpext

5. For media servers running 6.0_MP4 and earlier, manually update each media server with the new device

mappings. This command must be run on each 6.0_MP4 and earlier media server that has devices attached. (On
media servers running 7.5, 7.1, 7.0, 6.5 or 6.0_MP5 and later, this command is not needed since is not needed
since Device Manager will update the device mappings when it starts.)

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\tpext -get_dev_mappings

6. Restart Device Manager on each media server.
