we are upgrading a solaris 10 media server from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6 and then to 7.6.0.2. in the upgrade from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6 we are noticing the install script takes forever during the preinstall check phase.
in looking under the covers i can see that it is running nbtelemetry and then nbcheck. each of which takes about an hour to complete. in truss-ing these commands i can see it going thru a long series of stat system calls on files in /net/nbtools/..... which each take about a minute to timeout since these would be automounted nfs shares that do not exist. IE:
stat("/net/nbtools/tools/perl/5.16.1/app/SunOS_5.10_sparc_SunS_5.8/lib/site_perl/5.16.1/sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64/auto/List/Util", 0x1002A69E8) (sleeping...)
stat("/net/nbtools/tools/perl/5.16.1/app/SunOS_5.10_sparc_SunS_5.8/lib/site_perl/5.16.1/sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64/auto/List/Util", 0x1002A69E8) Err#2 ENOENT
using grep on nbcheck and nbtelemetry, i see 53 references to /net/nbtools. both of these executables are coming from the latest NetBackup_7.6.0.1_Solaris_Sparc64.tar.gz download.
has anyone else seen this. it seems like someone must have encountered this in the past.
thanks,
