Symantec BackUp

Version 11D

Agent for Unix and Linux should be downloaded from https://fileconnect.symantec.com/ after recieving serial number from your reseller or vendor.( In my case am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS )
Download the agent ( BEWS_11D.7170_LINUX-UNIX-MAC-NT4_AGENTS.2.tar.gz )
Use "gunzip to unzip the file.
Use tar -xvf <> to extract the file.
Steps are quite easy , just follow the instrcutions as it comes, Reboot the server after successfull installation , installation logs can be found in "\var\tmp\vxif "
One method to check if the agent is working and Linux server can connect to the media server is
On Linux Box "Telnet mediaserverIP 10000" ( 10000 port is used by back up server )
Also On linux box run this command to see if the port is locally active " netstat -an grep 10000 "
similiarly from Media server "Telnet linuxip 10000 ;
