Net-Backup Issues

mhvtl - A Linux Virtual Tape Library http://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2/ How to  ENABLE MHVTL/VTL on Linux Machine for NETABCKUP

Its a Very simple process for MHVTL installation for Netabckup, I have seen so many method on net but not so good. So thought to write this post. Disable Selinux:

vi /etc/selinux/config       - disable selinux

Stop Iptables;

chkconfig iptables off    - disable iptables

Install below dependent packages. yum install iscsi*

yum install lsscsi*

yum install scsi*

yum install mt*

rpm -ivh mhvtl-utils-1.5-4.x86_64.rpm

rpm -ivh kmod-mhvtl-1.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

lsscsi -g  <----- will not show library until you restart MHVTL

service mhvtl start

lsscsi -g

Note: If above command doesnt show vtl then reboot box.

Good Luck......:)
