Subject:    [Veritas-bu] Workaround for Netbackup 4.5 and Red Hat 9

[Download RAW message or body]

The following workaround appears to work for us.  We do NOT suggest it 
will work for you, but since Veritas has, in our opinion, dropped the 
Netbackup support ball on our RH foot, perhaps it is of some interest...

    cheers, wayne


Netbackup v4.5 vs. RH9



The problem:

     Because of some library issues when some Netbackup 4.5 executables 
are run in RH9, a message is produced on stdout. The Netbackup server 
doesn't tolerate this message and the backup or restore process is 
terminated. The message is: Incorrectly built binary which accesses 
errno, h_errno or _res directly. Needs to be fixed.

The workaround:

     It appears to be sufficient to strip this message out. Netbackup 
processing continues.

The details:

     *

       cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin; mkdir rh9fix
     *

       mv bpbackup bpbkar bpcd bpclimagelist bplist rh9fix
     *

       create an executable named rh9fix.sh as:

       #! /bin/bash

       # Wrapper script  to get rid of message:
       #Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno or _res 
directly. Needs to be fixed.
       #
       # Message throws netbackup server off...

       progname=$(basename $0)
       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/rh9fix/$progname | tail +2

     *

       create links for moved executables as follows:

       ln -s rh9fix.sh bpbackup
       ln -s rh9fix.sh bpbkar
       ln -s rh9fix.sh bpcd
       ln -s rh9fix.sh bpclimagelist
       ln -s rh9fix.sh bplist
