Install Requirements |
|
The driver for the File Archiver for
Windows Agent must be first installed onto all of the physical nodes of
the cluster. Once it has been installed onto the physical nodes, then
the File Archiver for Windows Agent can be installed on the virtual
server. In case of FPolicy Instance: The driver for the File Archiver for Windows Agent must be installed only on the physical nodes of the cluster and then the File Archiver for Windows Agent should be installed on all the nodes (physical and virtual). See Install the File Archiver for Windows Agent in a Clustered Environment - Virtual Server for instructions on installing the software on a virtual server. Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - File Archiver for Windows Agent. For an overview of deploying the software components in a clustered environment, see Clustering Support. The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the driver for the File Archiver for Windows Agent. If you choose to install additional components simultaneously, refer to the appropriate procedures for installation requirements and steps specific to the component. Note that when you install multiple components, the sequence of the install steps may vary. The File Archiver for Windows Agent also has a separate component, the File Share Archiver Client, that must be installed locally on all clients accessing a NAS File Server in order to recall archived data. Exceptions to this rule include configurations utilizing an FPolicy or Celerra instance to perform the recalls, in which case, you do not need to install the File Share Archiver Client software. For more information, see Instances - File Archiver. For procedures on installing the File Share Archiver Client component, see Deployment - File Archiver for Windows Agent. Do not install the File Share Archiver Client and the File Archiver for Windows Agent on the same computer. Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software: General
