Help me install Backup Exec (formerlly owned by Veritas) agent on AIX machine :(
Hi all. I hope someone could give me a hand on installing Backup Exec agent on AIX machine Smilie

Agent:
OS: AIX 5.3
Hostname: DB-HN-SRV02
IP: 10.1.4.64

Backup server:
OS: Windows Server 2003
Hostname: backup-srv
IP: 10.1.5.51

I download "Legacy Unix agent.tar", untar, then run file SETUP as superuser privilege.

This is my agent.cfg file:

Code:
name DB-HN-SRV02
force_address 10.1.4.64
export /home/system/data/backup as db-hn-srv02_backup  write_protect
tell 10.1.5.51
tell_interval 30
exclude_dir /dev

This is debug output:

Code:

      71 04/21/09 21:32:47 442432: errno=11

And this is output from netstat command:

Code:
tcp4       0      0  10.1.4.64.8193         10.1.5.51.6101         TIME_WAIT

"TIME_WAIT" makes it look like the backup server doesnt "accept" this agent? But there is no authentication method applied in backup server Smilie

Please shed some light Smilie
