Installing the RDA with OST Plug-In for NetBackup on Linux

This topic describes how to install the RDA with OST plug-in on a media server running the supported Red Hat Enterprise

Linux or SUSE Linux server operating system software (using the NetBackup DMA).

Ensure that you have downloaded the RDA with OST plug-in installer into the correct directory on the designated media

server. The plug-in installer is saved as DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.gz, where

xxxxx

represents its build number.

1.

Unzip the RDA with OST plug-in installer file using the following command:
$> /bin/gunzip DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.gz

2.

Configure the executable bit on the plug-in installer using the following command:
$> /bin/chmod a+x DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin

3.

Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -install option.
The plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to install the
plug-in.

4.

Run the plug-in installer using the -install option, and install the plug-in using the following command:
$> ./DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -install

NOTE: The location for installing the plug-in is not user-configurable.

5.

After the RDA with OST plug-in installer has stopped running, and the system prompt returns, verify that the plug-in

has loaded properly by checking the output using the following NetBackup command on the Linux media server:
$> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -plugininfo

This NetBackup command lists the plug-in details as shown:

Plug-In Name: libstspiDellMT.so

Prefix: DELL

Label: Dell OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in

Build Version: 10

Build Version Minor: 1

Operating Version: 10

Vendor Version: (EAR-2.0.0) Build: 41640

6.

Retain the plug-in installer on the media server so you can use it if needed to uninstall the plug-in.

Uninstalling the RDA with OST Plug-In for Linux

Use the following process if you need to uninstall the RDA with OST plug-in from a Linux-based media server:

1.

Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -uninstall option.
(The plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to uninstall the
OST plug-in.)

2.

Run the RDA with OST plug-in installer with the -uninstall option, which uninstalls the plug-in, using the following

command:
$> ./DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -uninstall

3.

Check that the plug-in is uninstalled by using the following NetBackup command on the Linux media server:
$> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -plugininfo

NOTE: If the -pluginfo command returns any plug-in details, this means that the plug-in has not been
uninstalled.

4.

Retain the plug-in installer on the media server in case you need to use it to reinstall the plug-in.
