Re: [Veritas-bu] VBR Setup Q's

That's crazy. It sounds like they are
digging for more info or trying to get you to convert to VBR.
We are on this licensing model and the
data we send them is via Aptare. I don't understand why they are making
you do that.
Sorry, that was of no help to you. We
installed an older version of VBR to test against Aptare and it wasn't
anywhere near as complicated as you are describing.
I might suggesting making sure that
there isn't a specific port/ports that need to be open? Does VBR have the
equivalent of checkinstall?

| [Veritas-bu] VBR Setup Q's |

Hello all,
(Hopefully there's a user or two
out there who's using VBR instead of Aptare ;-)
Long story short, Symantec
is trying to convince me to change my licensing scheme to a completely
usage-based licensing model (some of you probably are doing this) instead
of the current individual license purchase/support I have currently. Doesn't
cost me anything to check it out, with the caveat they're forcing me to
install and configure VBR, even though I have a fully functional Aptare
server that could give them (likely) the exact data they need.
Anyways, VBR 6.6 looks like
a beast, this user's guide is 617 pages long and honestly, for the
once per year I'm going to run a report (if I go through with this), it
ain't worth fully learning. Looking for some quick hits on how to
set it up. I've got the VBR install done, and I've set it up pretty much
as far as I can go without help. Here's what I've done:
1) Install VBR Server onto a Windows
server.
2) Install VBR Agent onto the
same Windows server.
3) Install RAC (Netbackup Remote
Administration Console 6.5GA) onto the same Windows server.
4) Added the name of the VBR Server
to the bp.conf on my master server (RedHat, 6.5.3.1) , confirmed the VBR
server can run a "bpdbjobs -S <master_server>" successfully.
5) Added a data collector instance
within the VBR Agent configuration.
I left the polling intervals at
their defaults, and backups ran normally last night but no data was collected.
Did I miss out on any key setup steps?
Cheers,
Jon
