3 CraigBox 1 !! Installing BackupExec on DebianLinux (10.x)

3 The Remote Agent has been renamed RALUS (for Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX Servers) and an excellent HOWTO on using [RALUS on Debian|http://newvibes.net/linux/backup.html] is available.

9 WilliamStockall 5 Don't forget to run <tt>update-rc.d VRTSralus.init defaults</tt> to make it start/stop appropriately.

7 Note, you need to [have a RALUS license on your media server to use RALUS 10|http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/276788.htm], but you can use v9 for 'free'.

11 Untar and install to <tt>/usr/local/bkupexec</tt> and copy the <tt>agent.cfg</tt> from there to a newly created <tt>/etc/bkupexec</tt> directory. Now create a <tt>/etc/init.d/bkupexec</tt> file with the following content:
12
13 <verbatim>
14 #!/bin/sh
15 #
8 AristotlePagaltzis 16 # Starts and stops the Backup Exec agent
1 AristotlePagaltzis 17 # Craig Box, 25/8/03

20 DAEMON=/usr/local/bkupexec/agent.be
21 CONF=/etc/bkupexec/agent.cfg
22
23 # clear conflicting settings from the environment
24 unset TMPDIR
25
26 # See if the daemon is there

58 !! Can't see my agent
59
8 AristotlePagaltzis 60 Run <tt>agent.be</tt> with <tt>-nd</tt> to debug and use the guide for [How to read a UNIX Agent debug log | http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/263307.htm] to find out what’s wrong.

8 AristotlePagaltzis 62 !! "<tt>The function is not implemented</tt>" when viewing your remote agent
4 CraigBox 63
8 AristotlePagaltzis 64 Check that <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> has the right details ([FQDN], [IP] address) for the server you are running RALUS on.
6 CraigBox 65
8 AristotlePagaltzis 66 !! "<tt>**** getservbyname(grfs, tcp) failed! ****</tt>"
6 CraigBox 67
8 AristotlePagaltzis 68 You need an entry in <tt>/etc/services</tt>. As root,
69
70 <verbatim>
6 CraigBox 71 echo 'grfs 6101/tcp' >> /etc/services
8 AristotlePagaltzis 72 </verbatim>
6 CraigBox 73
74 !! Not seeing the agent in the Windows server
75
8 AristotlePagaltzis 76 You need the hostname of the server you are announcing *to* in the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file as well.
6 CraigBox 77
78 Check the debug log to see you're getting a connection to port 6101 (which translates in Weird VERITAS Binary to 23.213):
79
8 AristotlePagaltzis 80 <pre>
81 rcvr addr=10.7.13.10.23.213
82 attempting to connect. state=0
83 </pre>
6 CraigBox 84
8 AristotlePagaltzis 85 Telnet to that IP on port 6101 and ensure you get a response. If not, check the Agent Browser service on the Windows machine.
