Open Solaris and Debian on NetWorker

Debian, Ubuntu and Open Solaris are not in NetWorker support matrix.  So don't expect to get any support from EMC.

For Debian, so far, I don't encounter issue by following the steps in the uWaterloo website to install NetWorker client software.  I had issue with IPV6 with NetWorker in Debian.  Backup is fine with IPV6 turned off.

I obtain the binary from PowerLink.

1. Install alien to convert rpm packages 
2. apt-get install alien
3. Convert to debian packages and install
4. alien --to-deb -i lgtoman-7.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm
5. alien --to-deb -i --scripts lgtoclnt-7.6.4-1.x86_64.rpm (ignore scripts warning)
6. cd /etc/init.d
7. Get script networker: Legato Networker Startup Script
8. chmod 755 networker
9. update-rc.d networker defaults
10. Update /nsr/res/servers adding backup.cs.uwaterloo.ca (/nsr directory isn't created until after networker is started the first time, even then the servers file isn't created)
11. ./networker start

From uWaterloo website, there is a reminder for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 10.10 now has a recover command that can undelete files and conflicts with the Legato install

I find out Open Solaris will not work in NetWorker from a blog.  I have never tested it but it recommends 7.4.5 seems to work.

========================================================================
NetWorker 8 support Debian and Ubuntu.  Open Solaris is not supported though.  Check EMC Software Compatibility Guide for latest information.
