Veritas NetBackup™ SAN Client and Fibre Transport Guide

To configure Fibre Transport services on Linux

1. Run the nbftsrv_config script. The following is an example; output on your system may differ:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -scst -install
   Checking for SCST drivers and firmwares in the package. [yes]
   Checking whether the server is not NetBackup Appliance. [yes]
   Checking for kernel version 3.10.0-1062. [yes]
   Checking for QLE2692 QLogic 16/32Gb HBA cards on the server. [yes]
   DISCLAIMER:
   -----------
   NOTE:
   1. When you install the SAN client with 16Gb HBA, the script stops the original qla2xxx driver and updates the firmware ql2500_fw.bin. Only QLE2562 and QLE2692 16Gb HBA models are supported by this NetBackup version.
   2. Ensure that there is no other process that uses the HBAs. If there is an active process that uses qla2xxx, manually restart the process after the installation completes.
   3. If you use the SANsurfer agent during the deployment of the environment, the script stops and restarts the SANsurfer agent daemon (qlremote).
   4. Stop all the backup jobs that use the FT user interface.
   
   Do you acknowledge this disclaimer? [y,n] (n)y

2. The QLogic drivers are reloaded so that the HBA ports can be detected during this session.

   Proceeding to deploy SCST environment [ok]
   
   Reload driver qla2xxx
   
   Removing qla2xxx.
   Load driver qla2xxx

   NOTE:
   The types of HBA cards listed are QLE2692 and QLE2562. Some of the WWNs may be used to connect to an external storage and other external devices.
   
   Do you want to continue? [y,n] (n)y

3. Enter the port numbers and make sure of the operation warnings during this session.

   Please input the Port WWNs you want to use as the targets (separated by commas like: wwn1,wwn2...):21:00:f4:e9:d4:53:bb:c4
   The input is: 21:00:f4:e9:d4:53:bb:c4
   The targets you defined: 21:00:f4:e9:d4:53:bb:c4
   Do you want to redefine the targets? [y,n] (n)
   Do you want to add additional targets? [y,n] (n)
   The targets you defined: 21:00:f4:e9:d4:53:bb:c4
   The targets you have defined contain 16Gb HBA cards.
   
   NOTE:
   1. Make sure that you do not use a WWN that is used to connect to external storage.
   2. Make sure to define the input WWNs as targets.
   3. Make sure the WWNs can be zoned with WWNs of clients.
   Do you want to continue to setup the WWNs as targets? [y,n] (n)y

4. The FTMS environment is deployed.
