FT Media Server configuration on Linux:

  1. Ensure supported Linux Release.
  1. Ensure using official kernel levels. Out-of-the-box kernel are recommended for easiest configuration method.
  1. Ensure using compatible QLogic Fibrechannel Host Bust Adapter (FC-HBA) controllers.
  1. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -nbhba to enter NBHBA mode to run NBHBA commands.

5. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbhba -l in NBHBA mode to scan and list compatible qlogic controllers.

6. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbhba -modify -wwn <WWPN> -mode target to mark the controller by WWPN for target mode.

7. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config to exit NBHBA mode and load windrivers (and START FT Services).

Text Transcript: Installing the JungoWinDriver and Fibre Transport Server. Uninstalled WinDriver for FT Server mode.Removing ql2300_stub. 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 Installed driver for FT Server mode. /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions updated with JungoWinDriver

permissions. Installed WinDriver for FT Server mode. NetBackup Fibre Transport Server started. Would you like to make these changes persist after a reboot? [y,n] (y) Running mkinitrd. Previous initrd image is saved at /boot/initrd-2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp.img.04-24-09.15:32:52.

8. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a to check for nbftsrvrand nbfdrv64 processes.
