!! Installing BackupExec on DebianLinux (10.x) 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. Don't forget to run <tt>update-rc.d VRTSralus.init defaults</tt> to make it start/stop appropriately. 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'. !! Installing BackupExec on DebianLinux (9.x) 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: <verbatim> #!/bin/sh # # Starts and stops the Backup Exec agent # Craig Box, 25/8/03 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin DAEMON=/usr/local/bkupexec/agent.be CONF=/etc/bkupexec/agent.cfg # clear conflicting settings from the environment unset TMPDIR # See if the daemon is there test -x $DAEMON || exit 0 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting the Backup Exec agent: agent.be" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -b --exec $DAEMON -- -c $CONF echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping the Backup Exec agent: agent.be" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON echo "." ;; restart|force-reload) echo -n "Restarting the Backup Exec agent: agent.be" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON sleep 2 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -b --exec $DAEMON -- -c $CONF echo "." ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/bkupexec {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 </verbatim> Make it executable and run <tt>update-rc.d bkupexec defaults 96</tt>, and you're away laughing. !! Can't see my agent 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. !! "<tt>The function is not implemented</tt>" when viewing your remote agent Check that <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> has the right details ([FQDN], [IP] address) for the server you are running RALUS on. !! "<tt>**** getservbyname(grfs, tcp) failed! ****</tt>" You need an entry in <tt>/etc/services</tt>. As root, <verbatim> echo 'grfs 6101/tcp' >> /etc/services </verbatim> !! Not seeing the agent in the Windows server You need the hostname of the server you are announcing *to* in the <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> file as well. Check the debug log to see you're getting a connection to port 6101 (which translates in Weird VERITAS Binary to 23.213): <pre> rcvr addr=10.7.13.10.23.213 attempting to connect. state=0 </pre> Telnet to that IP on port 6101 and ensure you get a response. If not, check the Agent Browser service on the Windows machine. [More troubleshooting notes | http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/192204.htm] are available on the VERITAS knowledge base. ---- CategoryNotes
