Enbaling Fibre Transport Service on Natbackup Media Server on Solaris 10/09
I am trying to configure Solaris Netbackup 6.5 Server to backup SAN clients. To do this, I need to mark one of the FC ports as a target on the Netbackup Media Server( which is also my master server). I follow the Netbackup guide for this by running the following:
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -dhba -lftsrv_config -nbhba
Installing nbhba driver.
Waiting for driver references to ql2300_stub to free up (this may take some time).
The following driver aliases need to be removed:
qlc "pci1077,2312"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.100"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.101"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.102"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.104"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.105"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.109"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.10a"
qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.10b"
Would you like to run update_drv to remove these now? [y,n] (y)

Error #11: system call failed
From Symantec [{font:Calibri}{color:#000000}http://support.veritas.com/docs/325332{color}{font}|http://support.veritas.com/docs/325332] one is advised to "
Remove
NetBackup FT drivers, reinstall Solaris 10 Fiber Channel patches 125184-08 and
125166-12 then reinstall the NetBackup FT drivers "
However patches 125184-08 and
125166-12 have been obsoleted by other higher patches which are part of Solaris 10/09 and not even installed by EIS DVD and therefore cannot be removed.
I tried installing another machine with Solaris 10/06, installed the said patches and their prerequisites, installed Netbackup and tries the same configuration. It failed with the same error.
Have anyone been able to enable FT server on Solaris 10/09? I am missing something from the document NetBackup Shared Storage Guide pg 143?
