Clustered NetBackup upgrade procedure

For distributed NetBackup deployments, only Data Collector software is installed on each NetBackup Master Server.

Clustered NetBackup Nodes require a unique upgrade strategy in order to keep their Data Collector versions in synch:

  • The active node automatically updates during the Portal upgrade process.

  • The passive node requires a manual update.

To ensure that both the active and passive nodes in a clustered pair are operating with the same version of the Data Collector, take the following steps:

  1. After a Portal upgrade, the Data Collector automatically updates the NetBackup Master active node to the latest aptare.jar version. This process then pushes the update to all the collectors in the policy.

  2. Fail over to the passive node in order to make it the active node.

  3. At the command line of the newly active node, use the downloadlib utility to manually download and update aptare.jar.

    Windows: <Home>\mbs\bin\downloadlib.bat
    Linux: <Home>/mbs/bin/downloadlib.sh

Note:

Check with your Veritas representative to determine if anything needs to be disabled prior to taking this step on the newly active node so that the upgrade does not trigger an event.
