Installing the VRTSvbs package using Veritas Operations Manager

To install the VRTSvbs package using Veritas Operations Manager

Skip this section if you installed or upgraded to VCS 6.0 or SFHA 6.0. VRTSvbs is automatically installed with these products.

Perform these steps if you installed an earlier supported version of VCS or SFHA. You must install the VRTSvbs package on each host of each cluster that you want to manage. VRTSvbs is not supported on the Management Server.

Note:

Before you install the VRTSvbs package on a managed host, ensure that the VRTSsfmh package version 4.1 is installed on the host. If VRTSsfmh 4.1 is not installed, installation of VRTSvbs fails.

  1. Download the VRTSvbs package to a temporary directory on your computer from the following location:

    https://sort.symantec.com/vom

    The package is available for download from Symantec FileConnect and Trialware too.

  2. In the Veritas Operations Manager console, select Settings > Deployment Management.
  3. Upload the package to the repository by using the Actions > Upload option in the Deployment Management view.

    You need to upload the VRTSvbs package for each platform that you want to deploy VBS on.

  4. Select VRTSvbs package, and then do one of the following:
    • Click Actions > Install.

    • Right-click VRTSvbs package and then select Actions > Install.

    Note:

    If you installed the VRTSvbs package on a host manually, the Management Server might not show that the VRTSvbs is installed on the host. To work around this issue, navigate to Settings > Host Management, and click the host on which you installed VRTSvbs manually. Click Actions > Refresh Host(s).

  5. In the Install Solution panel, select the required option (Hosts or Platfoms). Select the hosts or platforms on which to install the VRTSvbs package and deploy Virtual Business Services.
  6. Click Actions > Install.
  7. In the Result panel, click OK.

    Windows systems: When VRTSvbs is installed, an entry named VRTSvbs is created in the Programs and Features (Windows 2008) or Add or Remove Programs(Windows 2003) menu.

Note:

Though you can also install the VRTSvbs package on a managed host from the Management Server, you can uninstall VRTSvbs only by using the command line on UNIX systems. On Windows systems, you can uninstall VRTSvbs only by using the Programs and Features (Windows 2008) or Add or Remove Programs(Windows 2003) option from the Control Panel.
