If you have only one network interface, press Enter
to accept the default network interface name and continue. If you have multiple network interfaces, enter the interface name that you wish to use as default, and then press Enter.
|
We found one network interface available on
your machine. We will associate it with the physical machine being installed,
and it will also be used by the CommServe to connect to the physical machine.
Note that you will be able to additionally customize Datapipe Interface Pairs
used for the backup data traffic later in the Calypso Java GUI. Please check the interface name below, and make connections if necessary: Physical Machine Host Name: [angel.company.com] |
||
7. | Press Enter. |
Please specify the client name for this machine. It does not have to be the network host name: you can enter any word here without spaces. The only requirement is that it must be unique on the CommServe. Physical Machine Client name: [angel] |

Keep Your Install Up to Date - Latest Service
Pack
Latest Service Pack provides extra functions and latest support and fix for the packages you are going to install. You can download the latest service pack from software provider website. If you decide to download it from the website now, please make sure you have internet connectivity at this time. This process may take some time depending on the internet connectivity. Do you want to download the latest service pack now? [no] Press <ENTER> to continue ... |

Press Enter to accept the default path.
|
Please specify where you want us to install
Calypso binaries.
It must be a local directory and there should be at least 176MB of free space available. All files will be installed in a "calypso" subdirectory, so if you enter "/opt", the files will actually be placed into "/opt/calypso". Installation Directory: [/opt] |
||
14. |
Press Enter to accept the default location.
|
Please specify where you want to keep
Calypso log files.
It must be a local directory and there should be at least 100MB of free space available. All log files will be created in a "calypso/Log_Files" subdirectory, so if you enter "/var/log", the logs will actually be placed into "/var/log/calypso/Log_Files". Log Directory: [/var/log] |
||
15. | Press Enter. |
Most of Calypso processes run with root
privileges, but some are launched by databases and inherit database access
rights. To make sure that registry and log files can be written to by both kinds
of processes we can either make such files world-writeable or we can grant write
access only to processes belonging to a particular group, e.g. a "calypso" or a "dba"
group.
We highly recommend now that you create a new user group and enter its name in the next setup screen. If you choose not to assign a dedicated group to Calypso processes, all temporary and configuration files will be created with -rw-rw-rw permissions. If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "dba" group. Would you like to assign a specific group to Calypso? [yes] |
||
16. |
Type the Group name and press Enter. Press Enter again. |
Please enter the name
of the group which will be assigned to all Software files and on behalf
of which all Software processes will run. In most of the cases it's a good idea to create a dedicated "calypso" group. However, if you're planning to use Oracle iDataAgent or SAP Agent, you should enter Oracle's "dba" group here. Group name: dba REMINDER If you are planning to install Calypso Informix, DB2, PostgreSQL, Sybase or Lotus Notes iDataAgent, please make sure to include Informix, DB2, etc. users into group "dba". |

Type a network TCP port number for the Communications Service (CVD) and
press Enter. Type a network TCP port number for the Client Event Manager Service (EvMgrC) and press Enter. |
Every instance of Calypso should use a unique set of network ports to avoid
interfering with other instances running on the same machine. The port numbers selected must be from the reserved port number range and have not been registered by another application on this machine. Please enter the port numbers. Port Number for CVD : [8600] Port Number for EvMgrC: [8602] |
||
18. | The installation is now complete. | Done. REMINDER - You must register the client before decoupled installation is considered complete. Thank you for choosing Bull. |
The following procedure provides step-by-step instructions to configure and test your snap environment.
1. | Create a Lun on the array and map it to the client
computer. Ensure that the Lun is visible on the client computer as a device node. |
|||
2. | Use the mapped device node to create a Volume Group. | For example, use the following command: On AIX mkvg –y vg_name hdisk12 On Linux: pvcreate /dev/sdd vgcreate vg_name /dev/sdd vgchange –a y vg_name |
||
3. | Create a Logical Volume in the Volume Group. | For example, use the following command: On AIX: mklv –y lv_name vg_name 2G On Linux: lvcreate –n lv_name –L 2G vg_name |
||
4. | Create a File System on the Logical Volume. |
For example, use the following command: On AIX: crfs -v jfs2 -d lv_name -a logname=INLINE -m /snaptest On Linux: mke2fs lv_name |
||
5. | Create a directory to mount snapshots. | |||
6. | Use the following commands to run the Snaptest tool:
|
|||
7. | Press Enter. |
This tool helps to perform operations such
as...
-> Automatic Snap Tests -> Individual Snap Tests -> Hardware Snapshot Engine Detection -> SCSI Inquiry -> Scan HBA/IQN Adapters NOTE: Please make sure that the mount points used for this test are not being used by any other application. If they are in use, it may cause data corruption or data loss. Please refer to our online documentation for list of supported Operating systems, Hardware Snapshot engines and File systems.

SnapTest Version
Main Menu -------------------------------------- Perform automatic snap tests or launch Advanced Operations such as Array Configuration, Snapshot Engine Detection etc. Automatic snap tests take one or more source mounts to snap and performs series of Snap related operations on them. In order to perform these snap operations, array configuration such as array id, control host and user credentials is required. If no array configuration is found, Automatic Snaptests takes you to Array Configuration screen. 1. Automatic Snap Tests 2. Advanced Operations 0. Exit Choose your option [1]: |
||
9. | Type Y and press Enter. |
SnapTest
Automatic Snap Operations ----------------------------------------------------- We will perform the following operations on the given mount point[s]. - Create snapshots - Mount snapshots - Unmount snapshots - Revert original volumes to snapshots - Delete snapshots WARNING: Revert is inherently risky and can cause data loss. Do you want to perform revert operation as part of this test? [Y/N] [N] : Y |
||
10. | Specify the path of mount directory and press Enter.

Initial deployment and successful run of SnapProtect backup may take around 4 weeks due to the various environment dependencies. The following parameters are known to affect the deployment and initial run and hence need a thorough evaluation:
