Getting Started - File Archiver Deployment on a Cluster

mount -t iso9660,udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Run the following command from the Software Installation Package or mount point:

     ./cvpkgadd

Press Enter.

Advance options provide extra setup features such as creating custom package, recording/replaying user selections and installing External Data Connector software.

1) Install data protection agents on this computer

You now have a choice of performing a regular Calypso install on the physical host or installing Calypso on a virtual machine for operation within a cluster.

Most users should select "Install on a physical machine" here.

1) Install on a physical machine

2) Install on a virtual machine

3) Exit

If you have multiple network interfaces, enter the interface name that you wish to use as default, and then press Enter.

Please check the interface name below, and make connections if necessary:

Physical Machine Host Name: [angel.company.com]

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]

Please select the Calypso module(s) that you would like to install.

If you choose 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.

1) Download from the software provider website.

2) Use the one in the installation media

3) Use the copy I already have by entering its unix path

Your choice: [1] 2

Do you want to download the latest service pack now? [no]

Press Enter to accept the default path.

• If you want to specify a different path, type the path and then press Enter.

• If you want to install the software binaries to an NFS shared drive, specify the directory on which you have mounted the NFS file system and then press Enter.

  In order to make sure that the client computer has read/write access to NFS shared drive, review the steps described in Installing Software Binaries to an NFS Shared Drive.

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]

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]

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 Software processes, you will need to specify the access permissions later.

If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "dba" group.

Would you like to assign a specific group to Software? [yes]

Press Enter again.

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: sky1

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 "sky1".

IMPORTANT : Please read install document "Configure Kernel Parameters - Unix/Macintosh" from "Books Online" before you start configuring kernel parameters. Please enter the total number of streams that you plan to run at the same time. We need to make sure that you have enough semaphores and shared memory segments configured in /etc/system.

Number of streams [10]

Type a network TCP port number for the Client Event Manager Service (EvMgrC) and press Enter.

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 : [8400]

Port Number for EvMgrC: [8402]

If this computer is separated from the CommServe by firewall(s), type Yes and then press Enter. For firewall options and configuration instructions, see Firewall Configuration and continue with the installation.

The installation is now complete.

Now you have an option of either installing certain Calypso on another virtual machine

or adding a new package to the existing installations.1) Add a new package to PM angle(angel.mycompany.com)

2) Add a new package to VM docm (docm.mycompany.com)

3) Install  Calypsopackages on a new virtual machine

4) Exit this menu

Your choice: [1] 4

Calypso now supports the concept of instances, each of which can be installed to a separate CommServe and be totally independent of others. Instances are not the same as the virtual machines on a cluster, in fact, you will be given a choice to configure one or more virtual machines later. Contrary to previous releases of Calypso (6.1 and older), all virtual machines installed on the same host now share the same set of binaries and the same set of services.

Instances, on the other hand, have unique set of binaries and services and one situation where it is useful is when you want to back up the same host to several CommServes.

You already have one instance configured.

1) Add agents to existing Instance001 going to CS mycommserve.company.com

2) Create a new instance of Calypso

3) Exit this menu

Your choice: 3

If you do not have Storage Policy created, follow the procedure given below.

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Policies.
2. Right-click the Storage Policies and then click New Storage Policy.
3. Follow the prompts displayed in the Storage Policy Wizard. The required options are mentioned below:
   • Select the Storage Policy type as Data Protection and Archiving and click Next.
   • Enter the name in the Storage Policy Name box and click Next.
   • From the Library list, click the name of a disk library to which the primary copy should be associated and then click Next.

     Ensure that you select a library attached to a MediaAgent operating in the current release.

   • From the MediaAgent list, click the name of a MediaAgent that will be used to create the primary copy and then click Next.
   • For the device streams and the retention criteria information, click Next to accept default values.
   • Select Yes to enable deduplication for the primary copy.
   • From the MediaAgent list, click the name of the MediaAgent that will be used to store the Deduplication store.

     Type the name of the folder in which the deduplication database must be located in the Deduplication Store Location or click the Browse button to select the folder and then click Next.

   • Review the details and click Finish to create the Storage Policy.

The script is provided as a generic template, and it must be run at the beginning of node shutdown and at the end of new active node startup. In both cases, data protection services must be up and running.

cvclusternotify -inst <Instance> -cn <Client Name> -start|shutdown

Where:

cvclusternotify - Program to notify Calypso of cluster failovers.

This command notifies the drivers to stop or start monitoring the file system.

Example:

For two node cluster, if the virtual client name is "virtual" and the application instance is "Instance001", run the following command:

• To Shutdown:

  cvclusternotify -inst Instance001 -cn "virtual" -shutdown

  This will notify the driver to stop monitoring the shared file systems on the current node.

• To Start Up:

  cvclusternotify -inst Instance001 -cn "virtual" -start

  This will notify the driver to start monitoring the shared file systems on the current node.
