Dell DR Series System Administrator Guide

This topic describes how to install the RDA with OST plug-in on a media server running the supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux server operating system software (using the NetBackup DMA).

1. Unzip the RDA with OST plug-in installer file using the following command:

   $> /bin/gunzip DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.gz

2. Configure the executable bit on the plug-in installer using the following command:

   $> /bin/chmod a+x DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin

3. Stop the NetBackup nbrmms service before using the -install option. The plug-in installer returns an error if the NetBackup nbrmms service is running when attempting to install the plug-in.
4. Run the plug-in installer using the -install option, and install the plug-in using the following command:

   $> ./DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -install

   • NOTE: The location for installing the plug-in is not user-configurable.
5. After the RDA with OST plug-in installer has stopped running, and the system prompt returns, verify that the plug-in has loaded properly by checking the output using the following NetBackup command on the Linux media server:

   $> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpstsinfo -plugininfo

   This NetBackup command lists the plug-in details as shown:

   • Plug-In Name: libstspiDellMT.so
   • Prefix: DELL
   • Label: Dell OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in
   • Build Version: 10
   • Build Version Minor: 1
   • Operating Version: 10
   • Vendor Version: (EAR-2.0.0) Build: 41640
6. Retain the plug-in installer on the media server so you can use it if needed to uninstall the plug-in.
