Adding Ubuntu Microfocus Data Protector Backup Client... 

Please note that Data Protector doesn’t support installing locally on Ubuntu, you have to use a HP-UX/Redhat Linux DP installation server 

To install DP Backup client into a Ubuntu.

On Ubuntu Client:

root# apt-get install rpm

root# which rpm

"will tell you that the following rpm is used:"

/usr/bin/rpm

root# echo $PATH

The Ouput will tell you that

/usr/local/bin

is before /usr/bin

So I created a file

/usr/local/bin/rpm

containing the following line

/usr/bin/rpm --force-debian $@

root# vi /usr/local/bin/rpm

--start--

/usr/bin/rpm --force-debian $@

--End--

root# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/rpm

Now edit the .omnirc file on the Redhat Installation Server to include the following:-

root# vi /opt/omni/.omnirc

Add below Parameter in Omnirc file :

OB2_SSH_ENABLED=1

this will make the installation to use SSH ).

After all the above done you can Install DP Backup client to the Ubuntu server successfully.
