Pre-Requisites

Download the Live Optics Collector and go to the Scripts folder where the LiveOpticsNetBackup.sh resides.

Create temp ftp site (using https://ftpaccreq.emc.com)
Upload the latest “LiveOpticsNetBackup.sh” script to the FTP site a. located in <Live_Optics_install_dir>\scripts\
SSH to the NetBackup appliance, login as “admin”
Navigate to Support  Maintenance a. Note - The NetBackup appliance has a “CLISH” (cmd line shell)
Enter the password for ‘maintenance’

Run the “Intrusion Prevention System” override script to allow you to ‘elevate’ credentials, then drop down to the shell

- /opt/Symantec/sdcssagent/IPS/sisipsoverride.sh

- Enter Option “2” and select the amount of time (suggestion of 1 hour to complete this process)

After the policy has been overridden, SFTP to the site created in Step #1

Enter the password for the FTP site

Type ‘get LiveOpticsNetBackup.sh’ to download the script from the FTP site directly onto the NetBackup appliance.
- Note: This will save it to the /home/maintenance/ directory on the appliance
Enter the following cmd to make the script executable

- ```
chmod +x LiveOpticsNetBackup.sh
```

Type ‘elevate’ to elevate credentials and drop to the shell before executing the script:
- ```
elevate
```

Type the following cmd to execute the script:
- ```
./LiveOpticsNetBackup.sh
```

After the script completes, it will give you the file.
Upload it to the same FTP site using the following commands:

- ```
sftp <login-from-ftp email>@ftp.emc.com
```

enter the password from the email.
put <filename>

2. The file naming convention for the upload is “quick_<nbumaster-fqdn>.tar.gz

To log off the SFTP site, enter the following command:
- ```
bye
```

Download the .tar.gz file locally and use Live Optics collector to upload the file.
