Introduction
Legato Networker is a backup management application. It is a closed source application aimed at large companies that have a lot of data to keep safe.Networker manuals are online.
Find the packages
This example installs the Legato Networker backup client for Solaris. There is a CD containing five packages. You can't download these packages from their site but if you are desperate you can fill in a questionnaire and wait for a sales rep to phone you up.
Install the packages
1. put the networker CD in the CD drive of the host.2. Open a CLI on the host.
3. Use sudo to switch to the root account.
4. Change to the Solaris directory of the CD. cd /cdrom/networker/SOLARIS.
5. Start the installation process.
root@orcl:>pkgadd -d . The following packages are available: 1 LGTOclnt NetWorker for Solaris (Backup/Recover) Client (sparc) 5.5.Build.38b 2 LGTOdrvr NetWorker for Solaris (Backup/Recover) Device Drivers (sparc) 5.5.Build.38 3 LGTOman NetWorker for Solaris (Backup/Recover) Man (sparc) 5.5.Build.38b 4 LGTOnode NetWorker for Solaris (Backup/Recover) Storage Node (sparc) 5.5.Build.38b 5 LGTOserv NetWorker for Solaris (Backup/Recover) Server (sparc) 5.5.Build.38b Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: |

test the legato backup
1. Open an ssh session to the client.
2. Log in as yourself.
3. change to the root account.
4. Use /etc/init.d/networker to stop and start the daemon
5. Look for the networker processes.
root@orcl:>ps -ef | grep nsrexecd
root 895 1 0 12:44:13 ? 0:01 /usr/sbin/nsrexecd
【note】如果没有看到该进程,请通过 /etc/init.d/network start 来启动 |
The server keeps a log of its backups, calleddaemon.log. If the server cannot contact the client, this log contains entries like this.
01/16/03 23:00:51 savegrp: BAP01:probe unexpectedly exited. 01/16/03 23:00:51 savegrp: BAP01:probe will retry 2 more time(s) 01/16/03 23:01:16 savegrp: BAP01:probe unexpectedly exited. 01/16/03 23:01:16 savegrp: BAP01:probe will retry 1 more time(s) 01/16/03 23:01:41 savegrp: BAP01:probe unexpectedly exited. 01/16/03 23:01:41 savegrp: BAP01:probe will retry 0 more time(s) 01/16/03 23:02:21 nsrd: savegroup alert: Unix Daily completed, 2 client(s) (BAP01 Failed) * BAP01:All nsrexec: authtype nsrexec * BAP01:All savefs: unknown host name: customer03phlgt03.customer03group.com * BAP01:All 1 retry attempted * BAP01:All nsrexec: authtype nsrexec * BAP01:All savefs: unknown host name: customer03phlgt03.customer03group.com * BAP01:All 2 retries attempted * BAP01:All nsrexec: authtype nsrexec * BAP01:All savefs: unknown host name: customer03phlgt03.customer03group.com * BAP01:All 3 retries attempted * BAP01:All nsrexec: authtype nsrexec * BAP01:All savefs: unknown host name: customer03phlgt03.customer03group.com |
This happens when the server is not listed on the client, such as if it is spelled incorrectly in the process option list. It can also happen if the server is not listed using the fully qualified domain name eg. if the host is listed in the hosts file as customer03phlgt03 instead of customer03hglt03.customer03group.com.
When the backup is working, messages like this are written in daemon.log.
