Networking updates
- Unfortunately the way Legato does name resolution it will fail to resolve the backup server names and the short name of your computer.
- Updating Windows hosts files
- Start Menu -> Programs -> Assessories -> Right Click on MS DOS Command Prompt -> Run as administrator -> OK
- cd \Windows\Systems32\drivers\etc\hosts
- You will need to know the hostname of your machine - for example we will use scspcxyz.cs.uwaterloo.ca below
- nslookup scspcxyz.cs.uwaterloo.ca - write down the ipaddress - we will use 129.97.168.123
- notepad hosts
- Append these two lines
- 129.97.167.100 backup.cs
- 129.97.167.100 backup-0.cs
- Append your host IP address and short hostname without any domain specs.
Windows 7 Legato Configuration

- zypper install openmotif (you need this)
- Follow the Redhat user install notes
- Note: I think it is safe to ignore the error grep: /etc/syslog.conf: No such file or directory
TCP wrapper settings
If you use TCP wrapper security add the following configuration
/etc/hosts.allow
- ALL: backup.cs.uwaterloo.ca
Firewall issues
- IF you use a firewall add backup.cs and backup.math to your rule set
Ubuntu Shorewall rule (allow TCP7937-9936 from backup.cs)
* ACCEPT net:129.97.167.100 $FW tcp 111,7937:9936
MAC Ports
- OSX, TCP ports 7937-7939 and 10001-10100 should be sufficient.
Redhat Firewall
If you use a firewall you need to read this Manual Method
- Update firewall by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables place these lines before COMMIT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp -s 129.97.82.10/32 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp -s 129.97.152.100/32 -j ACCEPT
- Using GUI Tool For the firewall, use the GUI tool * "system-configure-securitylevel" [desktop--system--security level](run it from the commandline if you must).
-
- It writes the file /etc/sysconfig/system-config-securitylevel, which you can modify under the covers if necessary.
- The GUI syntax is a comma-delimited list of port:protocol pairs, eg 22:tcp for SSH
- The syntax in the file is one rule per line, of the form "--port=nnn:prot", eg "--port=22:tcp" opens SSH.
- Note that for the GUI you will have to know the system's root password, or run the command from the commandline via sudo.
Mac OS X client installation
- download nw_macosx.pkg on your desktop.
- Rightclick nw_macosx.pkg -> Open
- Open Terminal
- Become root
- echo backup.cs.uwaterloo.ca >/nsr/res/servers
- echo backup-0.cs.uwaterloo.ca >>/nsr/res/servers
- /bin/launchctl stop com.emc.NetWorker
- Update Firewall to permit access
- /usr/bin/nsrports -S 7937-7941
- /bin/launchctl start com.emc.NetWorker
