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
   Installing the Jungo driver and Fibre Transport Server.
   The following automatic startup and shutdown scripts 
   (respectively) have been installed.  They will cause the 
   NetBackup Fibre Transport Server daemon to be automatically shut 
   down and restarted each time the system boots.
   /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S21nbftserver
   /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S21nbftserver
   /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S21nbftserver
   /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K03nbftserver
   /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K03nbftserver
   /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03nbftserver
   It may be necessary to temporarily unload your QLogic drivers
   to free up the ports for the nbhba drivers.
   This is an optional step.  If you choose not to do this, you may 
   not have access to all of the HBA ports until a subsequent 
   reboot.
   Would you like to uninstall and reinstall your native QLogic 
   drivers now? [y,n] (y) y

2. The Qlogic drivers must be unloaded temporarily so that the stub driver (ql2300_stub) can bind to the marked HBA ports during this session.

   If you answer y, you do not have to reboot the computer during this configuration process. However, any critical devices that are attached to QLogic HBAs in the computer may be unavailable during this session. To ensure that the critical devices remain available, answer n. Then, you must reboot when prompted. The stub driver binds to the marked ports during the boot process, and the default QLogic drivers bind to the unmarked ports.

   If you answer n, go to step 5.

   If you answer y, you are prompted again to unload each QLogic driver, as follows:

   Are you sure you want to unload QLogic driver: qla2300? [y,n] 
   (y) y

3. To unload the QLogic driver, answer y. The process continues as follows:

   Removing qla2300
   Adding qla2300.
   Adding qla2xxx.
   Would you like to start the SANsurfer agent (qlremote)? [y,n] 
   (y) y

4. If the QLogic SANsurfer agent was loaded, the configuration process asks if you want to start the agent. To start the QLogic SANsurfer agent, answer y. The process continues as follows:

   Starting qlremote agent service
   Started SANsurfer agent.
   /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions updated with Jungo 
   WinDriver permissions.
   NetBackup Fibre Transport Server started.
   Would you like to make these changes persist after a reboot? 
   [y,n] (y) y

5. To ensure that the FT server always starts after a computer reboot, answer y. The process continues as follows:

   Running mkinitrd.  Previous initrd image is saved at 
   /boot/initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img.05-21-07.11:24:03.

   If you answered y in step 2, the FT services are started, and the target mode driver binds to the marked HBA ports.

6. If you answered n in step 2, reboot the computer when prompted.

   The FT services are started, and the target mode driver binds to the marked HBA ports.

To configure Fibre Transport services on Solaris

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

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config
   Installing the Jungo driver and Fibre Transport Server.
   Waiting for driver references to ql2300_stub to free up (this 
   may take some time).
   The following automatic startup and shutdown scripts 
   (respectively) have been installed.  They will cause the 
   NetBackup Fibre Transport Server daemon to be automatically shut 
   down and restarted each time the system boots.
   /etc/rc2.d/S21nbftserver
   /etc/rc0.d/K03nbftserver
   Adding "pci1077,2312.1077.101" to qlc.
   No third party drivers found with conflicting driver aliases.
   Done copying driver into system directories.
   Done adding driver.MUST REBOOT TO COMPLETE INSTALLATION.

2. Reboot the host.

   The FT services are started, and the target mode driver binds to the marked HBA ports.
