Prerequisites
- Make sure you have reviewed the following KB https://eis-vss.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VSSPublic/pages/1889697894/UTORrecover+-+NetWorker+TCP+IP+and+Firewall+Checklist#TCP/IP-Requirements
- Access to the ITS Private Cloud (VSS) Users Storage (https://vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca)
- Ensure that the PATH variable for the root and user accounts contains the
/usr/sbin
directory. - If the SELinux on your Linux system is in “enforcing” mode then you must change is to “permissive” by running the command:
setenforce permissive
After the installation is complete, you must revert the SELinux to default value, that is, the value before the installation of RPMs
🐧 Linux x64 Installation Package Requirements
The NetWorker installation for all supported x64 Linux operating systems and versions requires two packages that the default OS installation might not include:
-
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.1.x86_64.rpm
or later -
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.1.i686.rpm
or later
🤠 RHEL 7 and later and CentOS Package Requirements
Manually download and install the following Linux OS packages. The NetWorker installation fails when these packages do not exist on the host:
-
ksh
-
glibc.i686 0:2.17-55.el7
or later -
nss-softokn-freebl.i686 0:3.15.4-2.el7
or later -
libncursesw.so.5
🦎 SuSE Package Requirements
When you use the rpm command to install the NetWorker software, the installation displays a list of missing required operating system packages. You must install the required packages before you install the NetWorker software.
...
For SLES 15, there is a dependency on libncursesw
.
Default Directory Locations
Before you install the NetWorker software, you should become aware of the default directory locations and space requirements for the binary files, the databases, and the log files on the target host.

📁 Changing the Default Directory Locations
To store the configuration, log, and database files on file system that has more free disk space than the / file system, create a symbolic link from a new directory to the /nsr directory.
...
Create another /nsr directory on a disk with sufficient space. For example:
Code Block mkdir /disk3/nsr
Link the new directory to the
/nsr
directory, by typing the following command:Code Block ln -s /disk2/nsr /nsr
\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions
Log in to the target host and promote your account to super user.
Verify the contents of
/etc/hosts
contains an entry for the IPv4 loopback address and the first entry is the hostname, i.e.:Code Block 27.0.0.1 host host-alias host.subdomain.utoronto.ca localhost
Fetch the installer from
the VSS Users Storage with SCP or an equivalent SCP/SFTP client using the following settings:
host:
vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca
VSS username and password.
UTORrecover SharePoint site: https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/sites/its-eis-UTORrecover
Navigate to
/ut-vss-lib/networker/pub/networkernix/LINUX
as shown below. Then download the right installer for your OS architecture.
If you are running on the ITS Private Cloud, you are likely to use nw191002nw191005_linux_x86_64
contents.

Before starting the
networker
service, make sure you have populated the UTORrecover NetWorker servers in/nsr/res/servers
.
...
