Problem
How to setup LiveUpdate for NetBackup 7.x using IIS (Information Internet Server) to host the files.
Solution
- Ensure that your Master/Media server is equal to or higher than the version to which you are updating the clients.
- Master and Media servers should be updated manually.
- Only clients should be updated using LiveUpdate.
- Download the NetBackup LiveUpdate files: NetBackup Downloads - https://www.veritas.com/docs/100019594
- Please note that the links for downloading the files are located near the bottom of the page.
- LiveUpdate files are prefixed with NBLU
- For Windows platforms download only the updates you need for your architectures: x86, x64, or IA64.
- For Unix platforms you will need to download all three files.
- Unzip these files into a directory on the Web Server.
- Windows and Unix files can all be extracted into the same directory.
- Allow duplicate files to be overwritten.
- Configure IIS.
- Create directory for LiveUpdate patches (mkdir e:\LiveUpdate)
- Configure IIS (Add Virtual Directory to Default Web Site)
-
- Right-click Default Web Site
- Select New
- Select Virtual Directory.
- Select Next on Welcome to the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard
- Enter LiveUpdate for Alias on Virtual Directory Alias dialog box
- Enter directory name from step above (e:\LiveUpdate) for Path on Web Site Content Directory dialog box
- Enable Read and Browse permissions on Virtual Directory Access Permissions dialog box
- Add a .flg MIME type to the IIS web server.
IIS 6.0 does not serve unknown MIME types - https://support.microsoft.com/kb/326965
- Create a LiveUpdate Policy
- In the policy, specify the path to the LiveUpdate directory: https://webservername.com/LiveUpdate
- Add clients to the LiveUpdate policy
