Installing the OST Plug-In for NetBackup on Windows

This topic describes how to install the Dell OST plug-in on a media server running the supported Microsoft Windows
server operating system software (and using the NetBackup DMA).
Ensure that you have downloaded the Dell OST plug-in installer into the correct directory on the designated media
server. The OST plug-in installer is saved as DellOSTPlugin64.msi, or DellOSTPlugin.msi (DellOSTPlugin64.msi is for 64-
bit operating systems and DellOSTPlugin.msi is for 32-bit operating systems). Please ensure that the correct plug-in is
downloaded to support your 64-bit or 32-bit systems.
NOTE: The Dell OST plug-in needs to be installed on client systems to support client-side deduplication.
1. Stop the NetBackup services if they are running, by using the following command:
Verify if a previous version is already installed. If it is, uninstall it. If SETUP performs this check, there is no need to
do it manually.
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpdown.exe
2. Run SETUP to install the OST plug-in.
3. Check that the plug-in is installed by using the following NetBackup command on the Windows media server:
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpstsinfo.exe -pi
This NetBackup command lists the Dell OST plug-in details along with other plug-in details, as shown in the
following example:
– Plug-In Name: libstspiDellMT.dll
– Prefix: DELL
– Label: OST Plug-in that interfaces with the DR Series system
– Build Version: 9
– Build Version Minor: 1
– Operating Version: 9

4. Start the NetBackup services by using the following command:
$INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpup.exe
