[Veritas-bu] Redhat or Fedora 2.6 kernel NB 5.1?
Before anyone says it - I know none of the 2.6 kernels for RH/FC are in the compatibility matrix. My question is despite the above has anyone got it successfully working on either Redhat or Fedora Core version 4 or higher with the 2.6 kernel? If so would you be willing to share how you got it going or at least the xinetd changes you made for it? It seems I saw a thread about this some time ago but I can't find it in the archives. By the way - is there a way to search the archives for keywords? The page I went to just gives me the archives by month so I have to open each one and even then I can only search on the thread titles. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Re: [Veritas-bu] Redhat or Fedora 2.6 kernel NB 5.1?
This is what I've done to get it working on Fedora (I forget the exact kernel version). Don't know if this will work for you but it's here if you want to try. 1) Turned off SELinux because it was preventing some shared library activity required by bpcd. You have the option of running Security Enhanced Linux on Fedora but it's very paranoid and makes it hard to do a lot of things. So, we turned it off. Here's how: -Edit the /etc/selinux/config file and set the SELINUX variable to disabled -Rebooted the server (required to have this change take effect) 2) Ran the iptables commands to allow NBU servers access but I used the IP address of the master/media server instead of the hostname. 3) Then ran this to save the new iptables rules: # /sbin/service iptables save 4) Restarted xinetd /etc/init.d/xinetd restart Then we could access the client via NBU.

Well duh! I had been there but clicked on the first link for the archives. I guess I expected the link for the search would be at that first link - it didn't occur to me it would be one line down on the original page.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Redhat or Fedora 2.6 kernel NB 5.1?
Thanks. Yep - I disabled SELinux during the OS install though I will mention that FC6 has a nice little config tool for SELinux now that might actually make me consider using it for something with less time pressure. I had worked it out before you wrote. The main problem I found is that for whatever reasons FC5 and FC6 (and maybe FC4 - I haven't looked at that yet) don't install xinetd by default! When I did the client software install NBU apparently checked for xinetd and not finding it assumed it was running inetd (it wasn't) so just created an inetd.conf with what it wanted. (To me that sounds a little brain dead but considering the answer to my second question who am I to talk? :-( ) Anyway based on the realization it didn't have xinetd I did the following to get it going: Doing yum install xinetd got me the correct xinetd stuff binary. Running /etc/init.d/xinetd start got it running. Reinstalled the NBU client and it created the appropriate files under /etc/xinetd.d Started a test backup which was sitting at connecting until it dawned on me I hadn't updated iptables (firewall) for NBU. I ran /etc/init.d/iptables stop to turn off iptables since it's an internal box. I'll probably go ahead and do firewall setup for it later since I'd already worked that out for some external boxes running earlier versions of RedHat but for now it's running the backup so I'll leave it alone. By the way for anyone reading it in the archives - if you decide not to use iptables and Veritas firewall setup make sure you use chkconfig to disable the automatic start of iptables on reboots.
