116271-02) 6208549 need 5.1 MP2 release in Sun patch format (from 116271-01) 6175098 need NBU 5.1 MP1 in Sun format Patch Installation Instructions: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris. Any other special or non-generic installation instructions are described below as special install instructions, if any is applicable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Install Instructions: NOTE: For Maintenance Pack installation on a UNIX Cluster Environment: 1) Ensure that prior to installing the maintenance pack, NetBackup is at release level 5.1 and configured to run in a cluster. 2) Freeze the NetBackup group (This will avoid a 'failover' during a patch installation). 3) Install this Maintenance Pack on the inactive node(s) of the cluster (follow steps 1-3 below) 4) Install this Maintenance Pack on the active node of the cluster (follow steps 1-3 below) 5) Unfreeze the NetBackup group. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As root on the NetBackup Master Server: (for a NetBackup media server, do steps 1-3) 1) Stop the NetBackup and Media Manager daemons: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/bp.kill_all 2) Install patched binaries via patchadd. 3) Restart daemons. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid -v 4) Update the NetBackup clients, including the NetBackup master and media servers, with the update_clients script. /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients where is one of the following: Solaris Solaris7 Solaris Solaris8 Solaris Solaris_x86_7 Solaris Solaris_x86_8 Sun4 Solaris_dm Remember to include the master server's type. Note: The /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/update_clients command without any parameters will update all the Unix clients. Additional Notes: If nonroot users have been given permission to perform NetBackup or Media Manager administration, (NetBackup System Administrator's Guide, Allowing Nonroot Users to Administer NetBackup page 31 and Media Manager Administrator's Guide, Allowing Nonroot Users to Administer Media Manager, page 9), group and file permissions changes will have to be reapplied as installing this patch will reset the group and file permissions to their delivered value. This can be done by executing: /usr/openv/java/nonroot_admin_nbjava ============================================ ================== KNOWN ISSUES ================== Description: Solaris 10 is now supported as follows: Hardware Support --------------------------------------------- SPARC NetBackup Server and Client Intel x86 NetBackup Client The above support is for base OS support only. With NetBackup 5.1 MP2, the "Zones" or "Containers" feature introduced in Solaris 10 is not supported. NetBackup is supported on a system pruning global zone only, any additional local zones or containers are not supported at this time. [NetBackup 5.1 MP2 is 116271-03] The support of NetBackup Client for Solaris 10 x86 on AMD Opteron servers is not supported with NetBackup 5.1 MP2, but the support may be announced at a later time based on successful test results. Use of NetBackup Advanced Client methods are supported on Solaris 10 beginning with VERITAS Storage Foundation Suite version 4.1 releasing in 2005. Check the Sun/VERITAS web-site for availability. Solaris 10 is not supported on the base CD-ROM version of NetBackup 5.1. There are known connection and Java GUI issues that will be encountered if you attempt to run the NetBackup 5.1 GA version on Solaris 10. This is due to a new inetd design method introduced in Solaris 10. Therefore, this NetBackup 5.1 MP2 patch update must be applied. The following script must be run after this patch is installed in order for "Solaris Solaris 10" or "Solaris Solaris_x86_10" to show as a client selection in the drop down list for backup policies: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/new_clients Upon running this script, Solaris 10 choices will be available in the drop-down menu for Solaris 10 clients. ================== 116271-04 ================== ================================================================================ Etrack Incident = RSVmn00001 Description: Integrations bogus NB_51_3_M patch entry to use when checking in non delivered files (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET262145 Description: Some Linux file system types (such as, tmpfs, usbdevfs, devpts, and smbfs) were being backed up unnecessarily. Workaround: To avoid this issue, manually exclude the file systems that are not to be backed up. (NetBackup Clients: Linux2.4 Linux64 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET295113 Description: The scheduler was modified to correctly process a status 134 error - race condition in a multiplex backup. This condition occurred when a multiplex child bpsched started a backup, but the storage unit was over committed. A status 134 error was sent back to the multiplex child bpsched, but the child sched was already adding another backup to the multiplex group. The child sched attempted to send the new jobs information to bpbrm, but bpbrm had exited and the connection was defunct. The scheduler was incorrectly logging the defunct connection in the job progress log. With this change, the scheduler will not log the broken socket, but will correctly read and process the status 134 from the in-bound connection. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET293094 Description: When the SUI bit is set for some admin commands on an AIX 5.2 platform, the system os-level command will leave a directory in /tmp. This does not occur for the root user. (All NetBackup Servers: RS6000) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET283809 Description: Some levels of the Linux kernel do not support netstat correctly and the message, "Device not found," is produced. (All NetBackup Servers: Linux) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET270622 ET270620 Description: There are cases when a NetBackup administrator can administrate most things on a NetBackup master server (such as policy configuration), but is not allowed to access Host Properties on clients. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET276469 Description: When attempting to quit by using the key in bpadm, the key is ineffective and it fails with the error, "Attribute 254 cannot be changed". The key works in AIX 5.1, so this issue seems to be exclusive to the AIX 5.2 platform. (All NetBackup Servers: RS6000) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET270167 Description: The SCSI TEST UNIT READY timeout value has been increased from 2 seconds to 60 seconds. RS6000 media servers running many concurrent jobs to multiple drives simultaneously could result in SCSI TEST UNIT READY error messages that are logged into the system log. (All NetBackup Servers: RS6000) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET294713 Description: An problem occurred that caused bpretlevel loops to echo the word, "What?," when changing retention levels. No input seemed to be a satisfactory response to exit the loop until a ctrl-C was entered. Solution: An earlier change had changed all occurrences of gets() to fgets(), but failed to recognize that fgets() will return the '\n', whereas gets() did not. The subsequent strcmp was not expecting the '\n', and always failed. The solution was to strip the [new] trailing '\n' to emulate the gets() behavior. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET265653 ET295655 Description: Oracle Advanced Client FlashBackup backups did not work with the new 128-bit Encryption. The failures produced an error status 25 - cannot connect on socket. The bpfis debug log included messages similar to the following: 17:14:27.139 [13628] <16> bpfis main: FTL - snapshot creation failed, status 25 17:15:19.842 [13628] <4> bpfis Exit: INF - EXIT STATUS 25: cannot connect on socket (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET278777 ET272628 Description: Database agent backups may fail if 128/256-bit Encryption is used and vnetd "connect-backs" to the media server is used. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET278777 ET272628 Description: Database agent backups may fail if 128/256-bit Encryption is used and vnetd "connect-backs" to the media server is used. All NetBackup Windows Clients All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET276123 ET262341 Description: Legacy Encryption may fail if the key file on the client is large. For example, if 39 or more pass phrases are added to a key file on a Solaris client, encrypted backups or restores are likely to fail. The error message "bpbrm - read() or KEYREADFD failed" will typically be reported. Workaround: To avoid this issue, delete some pass phrases from the key file if they are no longer needed. All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET287818 Description: The bpimmedia -spangroups output was not displaying a span group if the span occurred in a copy other than copy 1, and one or more preceding copies were expired. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET287614 Description: A Synthetic Backup Image could be expired while it was still being written. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET210298 Description: Backups of NDMP clients were not displaying intermediate directories when browsing the backup contents. For example, if directory A/B/C was backed up, /A and /A/B were not appearing when browsing the backup. Although the NetBackup catalog contained the directory information, it did not return it when the directory was not explicitly backed up. This fix will enable browsing of these NDMP backups even if they were created prior to the fix. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET297729 Description: Oracle BLI backups failed on Solaris 10 when trying to backup multiple VxFS partitions. The following would be logged: For second or later file system, checkpoint mount may fail, bpbkar log: 11:58:55.199 [8353]<4> bpbkar set_clone_context: /usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs -o ckpt=NetBackup_full_orac101_1106243854 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4:NetBackup_full_orac101_1106243854 /tmp/NetBackup_checkpoints/NetBackup_full_orac101_1106243854 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null 11:58:55.464 [8353] <16> bpbkar set_clone_context: ERR - Cannot mount checkpoint NetBackup_full_orac101_1106243854 on /tmp/NetBackup_checkpoints/NetBackup_full_orac101_1106243854. (NetBackup Clients: HP HPIA64 RS6000_433 Solaris Solaris9 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET296425 Description: This bpbrm binary fixes an intermittent socket problem that occurred during database backups. The backup would fail with a status of 54. An examination of the bpbrm debug log showed the following type of message: 07:10:52.662 [3832.2768] <16> bpbrm listen_for_client: listen for client timeout during accept from name listen socket after 60 seconds An examination of the dbclient debug log showed the following type of message: 02:24:07.956 [528.660] <8> connectSock: WRN - connect() to server failed, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET299437 Description: An extended value (90 days, for example) for the "Keep Logs for x Days" global configuration setting appears not to work. The debug logs are still deleted after about a month on NetBackup media servers that are included as part of the catalog backup configuration. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET272516 Description: NetBackup sometimes incorrectly handles an exclude list with an asterisk character "*" as an entry and an include list. Workaround: To avoid this issue, use either "/" or "/*" in the exclude list rather than "*". All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET294004 Description: Backing up files which do not have a group name can fail with a Status 13. All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET291947 Description: A SAP online backup is started and a Tablespace (PSAPES46CI) in the Oracle database is placed in BACKUP MODE by the agent. However the backup receives a STATUS 134 error in BPTM & BPBRM. The bpbkar, bptm, and bpbrm processes exit and clean up after themselves. The SAP agent process remains active, awaiting the backup to be queued and run again, leaving the Tablespace (PSAPES46CI) still in BACKUP MODE. All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET294365 Description: vmd would hang after 21 days under VxSS/NBAC. (All NetBackup Servers: Solaris) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET277025 Description: When a local file system was auto-mounted to itself, NetBackup would incorrectly skip the backup of the local file system on SGI systems. This occurred when the hostname returned from the uname command and the hostname stored in /etc/mtab were not both fully-qualified or both short (for example, uname returns "machine" and /etc/mtab contains "machine.domain.com"). Workaround: Make sure the hostname returned by the uname command and the hostname specified in /etc/mtab both use either the fully-qualified hostname or the short name. (NetBackup Clients: SGI65 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET300673 Description: If a /dev/rdsk device was used as the extended copy command target, the code to convert the disk path to the sg path for scsi-passthrough commands fails if the disk is managed by the ssd driver. This caused an error to be logged in the bptm log this was similar to the following: 07:00:44.807 [13213] <2> setup_mover_tpc: open of passthru path /dev/rdsk/c1t50060E80034FED11d0s2 failed, unable to open /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@5/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/sgd@w50060e80034fed11,0:raw, No such file or directory Workaround: To avoid this issue, configure the corresponding sg path directly in mover.conf.

The job would appear to be running in the Activity Monitor until an administrator terminated it. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET301501 Description: A Scheduler race condition was occurring: Child sched was sending a ?done? to the main sched while the main sched was sending a ?term one? to the child sched. The child sched would erroneously treat the ?term one? as the response to the ?done? and then exit prematurely. The correct child response is to discard (ignore) the ?term one? request and wait for the main sched response to the 'done' command. Also missing was code to discard (ignore) a ?suspend? request after having sent a 'done' to the main sched.

Bprd, bpbrm, or bpsched were possibly affected as well. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET296072 Description: When installing NetBackup Server on SUSE 9 systems, the installation appeared to hang. Additional Notes: When the NetBackup 5.1GA install hangs, the make_scsi_dev process must be killed from another terminal session. The NetBackup install should be allowed to run to completion after make_scsi_dev has been killed. The NetBackup 5.1MP3 Maintenance Pack must then be applied, and the make_scsi_dev command run. Once make_scsi_dev completes, devices may be configured. (All NetBackup Servers: Linux) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET299846 Description: Multiplexed backup jobs would occasionally hang. This would happen if the bptm or bpdm parent process crashed, or if bptm could not successfully add the TIR fragment for a TIR backup. It may also happen because of a timing problem in bpbrm when new jobs are started. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET292021 Description: A new bperror -jobgroupid option is introduced to search the error database based on the job group ID.

(All NetBackup Servers: HP Intel-NT Linux RS6000 Solaris) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET286656 Description: bpverify would fail with a status 191 on a single master/media server because of a socket timeout. Workaround: To avoid this issue, do not run bpverify on very large backups with a slow or stressed network. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET266342 Description: bplist returned duplicate listings for a DB2 file; and the .f file showed only one instance of the file. This problem did not occur for other similar client backups. If IMAGE_LIST file was removed, the file would be listed only once. Workaround: To avoid this issue, turn off image indexing. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET303564 ET302345 Description: The main sched failed to recognize a media server that was initially off line, and then brought on line after the main sched went active. If the media server was brought back while the scheduler was not active or the master server was bounced, then everything worked correctly. This fix enables the scheduler to ?pick up? the newly introduced media server by using the ?/bp/bin/admincmd/bpschedreq ?read_stunits? command. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET302345 ET303564 Description: Backups using in line tape copy (ITC) and storage unit groups, failed to give preference and select the local storage unit. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET303449 Description: Backup failed with disk full even though there was still room on the disk.

But the GUI does not read these messages, so the message would stay queued until the main sched exited. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET323183 Description: If the stream in control snap failed on a WOFB, then the other streams were allowed to continue a non-snap backup. This was the correct operation. The problem was that the non-control streams performed a backup of all files in the file list, but they should have only backed up their specific files. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET316635 Description: User backups failed to check if an exiting backup was the last backup job from a specific SPID before removing all user backups from the work list. This oversight caused the removal of active jobs from the work list, and resulted in a sched core.

(All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET315056 Description: WORM tape support uses sixteen byte SCSI-3 commands. Some HBA's have problems with these commands, and can cause SCSI Bus Reset's. A new touch file, volmgr/database/NO_SIXTEEN_BYTE_CDB, can be created to disable these commands. This will effect your ability to use WORM tape with some drives. Solaris platforms have been found to not handle sixteen byte commands on Parallel SCSI HBA's, so devices on these HBA's are automatically prevented from using sixteen byte SCSI commands. Workaround: To avoid this issue, use an HBA that supports sixteen byte commands.

Workaround: Add /system to the exclude list for file systems you wish to exclude during backup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: 6238932 When restarting NBU on Solaris 10 box I get errors in /var/adm/messages. When restarting NetBackup on a Solaris 10 server, the following message may be observed in /var/adm/messages: pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error in underlying service module. Workaround: It appears that the PAM module pam_dial_auth emitted the message to stderr, which the jnbSA perceived as legitimate protocol traffic. PAM is not to be denied, and is writing to /var/adm/messages. The message is of no interest to bpjava, and does not hinder NetBackup from functioning. Hence the message can safely be ignored. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: 6227864 Patchadd -d option failes the instalation on NBU5.1 MP2 patch.

All NetBackup Windows Clients All NetBackup Unix Clients -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET236426 ET230514 Description: If NetBackup is told to duplicate an image and also configured to change the retention level of the new copy to a retention level that is configured as "expires immediately", then the original image also appears to be expired at the end of the duplication. Any backup taken after that, brings back the original image. Workaround: Any subsequent backup would expunge expired copy from the image file, and bring back the original image (to image list and for restore operation). (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET234522 Description: SCSI-3 library commands have standardized on op code 0x37 for the command INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS w/RANGE. Previous implementations by numerous vendors had used vendor-unique code 0xE7 - which was implemented by NetBackup. SCSI-3 libraries will return sense data 20/00 when sent an E7. Workaround: Use only tapes with barcodes valid for your library vendor. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET234298 Description: NetBackup was not properly using the firmware revision to retrieve the correct device mapping in the device mappings file. This has never been a problem in the field because we have never had to use the firmware rev in the device mappings file - this is being done for new device support.

(All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET235410 Description: It is possible that the bpjobd process may hang under certain conditions. It has been demonstrated that this can happen if bpduplicate and bptm processes are killed, but it may occur in other situations. The bpjobd process does not die, it just loops consuming CPU time, and nothing is written to the debug log. This prevents the job DB from being updated with the status of existing jobs, or new jobs. bpjobd must be killed and restarted by the system admin to resolve this problem. This problem is indicated by the following data in the bpjobd deubg log, referring to non-existent job id 3: 18:45:00.734 [17433] <2> process_active_job: Frame type is 3 (jobid 3) Sock (93) 18:45:00.734 [17433] <2> process_active_job: Adding provider(1) for job(3) socket (93) 18:45:00.734 [17433] <2> process_active_job: Begin to write (JOBTRYFILE) at offset 68 job (3) Workaround: Kill and restart the hung bpjobd. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET223801 Description: Under some circumstances, an image file might be expired on the Master server and remain on the Media server. When media full is detected for a DiskStaging storage unit, the media server attempts to remove the 2 oldest images. If these images were no longer in the catalog on the Master server, they could not be removed and the backup would fail. The code was changed to remove the image files if the Master server no longer had them in the catalog. Workaround: Manually delete the image files causing the problem along with their .ds file.

(All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET232060 Description: To assist image database cleanup in 24x7 environments, image database cleanup will always run in background. In other words, bpsched will not wait until the cleanup is complete before scheduling new jobs. In addition, bpsched will initiate an image database cleanup at periodic intervals, 12 hours by default. The time interval may be changed by using the bpconfig -cleanup_int command. For example, to change the interval to 24 hours, execute the following command: bpconfig -cleanup_int 24 Use a value of 0 to disable bpsched from starting the periodic image database cleanup. The maximum value is 744 hours. Bpsched will still perform image database cleanup at the end of a session, however, it will be run in background. On Unix systems, bpadm may also be used to change the interval.

(All UNIX NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET233382 Description: In support case 240-064-273, the customer corrupted some of catalog files when the system ran out of disk space. This caused bpdbm to crash whenever it tried to load the corrupted catalog files. The command "bpdbm - consistency 2" also crashed every time when checking these corrupted files. The root of the problem is the buffer overrun in libcatalog when loading corrupted files: the pointers and string lengths are wrong after mapping the file into memory. The fixes are in two parts: 1) added code to safe guard buffer overrun to fix the crash of bpdbm; 2) added code in image.c to move corrupted catalog files out of /db/images (into /db.corrupt directory) when running "bpdbm -consistency 2". Readme should document the following new feature and instructions: New Feature: "bpdbm -consistency" will move corrupted catalog files out of the catalog repository "/netbackup/db/images" into "/netbackup/db.corrupt" directory. Instructions to customer after running the above command: 1 Record all file paths in /db.corrupt; 2 Re-import the files in step 1; 3 Delete files in /db.corrupt.

Files modified after the snapshot is taken but before the (non-stream 1) image is created may be missed. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET219245 Description: After an NDMP import, the file count drops by a very large number. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET225034 Description: An incremental multi-stream snap backup with forced stream 1 can miss files. The problem exists when the following conditions are true: - Snap backup (advanced client, WOFB). - Incremental backup. - Multi-stream backup. - Stream 1 is not due, but is force-started to perform the snapshot operation. Aggravated by frequency mode (frequency is NOT a multiple of 24-hours). The problem can be minimized/eliminated by configuring for an "all stream" backup: - Use calendar-based scheduling. - Use "interval" mode (frequency is multiple of 24-hours). - Avoid multi-streaming snap backups. This problem occurs because of an oversight in cloning a due stream into a non-due stream1. Remember, stream1 is not due, but is required to perform the snap shot operation. The due stream information is copied in mass to create the stream1 information, and then adjusted to make it stream1 unique. The error occurs because the backup times (last backup, last full backup, last incremental backup) were not updated to the correct stream1 values. As a result of this, stream1 uses the stream2 image creation times. Image creation times are used to compute the delta time which determines the targeted incremental backup files. Unfortunately stream2 also suffers the same failure. The stream2 incremental backup should be based upon the stream1 snap time, but stream1 is using the incorrect time for the snap. So, all the due streams suffer this failure. (All NetBackup Servers) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET219966 Description: Resume of a checkpoint backup could select a different media server if a failure on initial backup attempt occurred. The failure scenario is: 1) Backup reached a checkpoint. 2) Then failed (this case was a 13 "read failed"). 3) Scheduler attempts to programmatically re-submit. 4) But the drives were re-set & downed. 5) So, the job exited with a 213 "no storage units available". The original storage unit information was "lost" so the job could potentially resume on a different media server. If resumed in this way, the backed up data would reside on two different media servers and any subsequent restore would fail.

Although the option "Restore everything to a different location (maintain existing structure)" is selected on the General tab of the "Restore Marked Files" dialog, and a different destination is specified, NetBackup still restores the image to its original location. This problem also occurs when attempting to restore files from different drives. Workaround: The following work-around applies to the restore of a single drive. If you wish to restore several drives, then perform the restore operation multiple times, once for each drive. 1) From the Restore tab, do not choose the entire drive (e.g. C:\) by placing a checkmark in front of the drive. Instead, expand the drive and select all of its subfolders. This will cause a slash to appear in front the of drive (instead of a checkmark). 2) Click the Restore button and the "Restore Marked Files" dialog will appear. Choose the option "Restore everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)" and specify an alternate destination.

(All NetBackup Java GUI capable NetBackup Servers and Clients) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET261005 Description: When the NetBackup-Java GUI connects to a server, a process is started on the server called bpjava-susvc. A normal user with access to this server could send specially crafted commands to this process and have those commands executed with root authority. This fix is dependent on the NetBackup UNIX client patch(NB_CLT_51_2_M). The NetBackup client patch for all UNIX platforms must be installed on all NetBackup server and client UNIX hosts that you will be administering (specifying in the login dialog) using the NetBackup-Java GUIs. Workaround: Currently, a work-around is available to circumvent this exploit by requiring bpjava-susvc to use the no call-back feature. To enable this feature, the NBJAVA_CONNECT_OPTION parameter must be set to 1 on the machine where the NetBackup-Java GUI is started. This parameter is located on UNIX platforms in /usr/openv/java/nbj.conf and on Windows platforms in \java\.vrtsnbuj. (All NetBackup Java GUI capable NetBackup Servers and Clients) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Etrack Incident = ET267209 Description: With Enhanced Authentication/Authorization configured, the NetBackup-Java administration console's Capabilities Authorization was not being honored. One could not restrict access to certain components, such as, Policy Management, in the console by configuring the console's auth.conf file. This is a regression compared with the NetBackup 3.4 release. Additional Notes: A new NetBackup-Java GUI configuration option was implemented to facilitate this fix - USE_NBJAUTH_WITH_ENHAUTH. The default for this is 0, meaning do NOT use NetBackup-Java Capabilities Authorization with NetBackup Enhanced Authorization. When set to one, both authorization methods are used. This means that the general authorization configured with Enhanced Authentication/Authorization can be further restricted in the NetBackup Java console via the console's Capabilities Authorization. On UNIX hosts, edit file nbj.conf in /usr/openv/java. On Windows hosts (if you installed the NetBackup-Java GUI), the file is any of .vrtsnbuj files in \java, such as, C:\Program Files\Veritas\java or the java folder of the installation path you specified during the install. On Windows hosts, it is set using a 'set' command in the .vrtsnbuj files. You should see the pattern/other nbj.conf options when editing it. On UNIX hosts in the nbj.conf file it is configured just as the others in the file are configured. This fix has no effect on use of NetBackup Access Control, for example, when configured it takes precedence over both the Enhanced Authorization and the NetBackup-Java Capabilities Authorization methods.
