Install Requirements
The File Share Archiver Client is installed on any computer from which you wish to recover files archived by the File Archiver for Windows Agent (this computer is referred to as the Client computer in this install procedure). Configurations utilizing an FPolicy or Celerra instance to perform recalls for archived data do not require the File Share Archiver Client software. For more information, see Instances - File Archiver.

Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - File Archiver for Windows.

The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the File Share Archiver Client. If you choose to install multiple 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.

In order to use the File Share Archiver Client component, you must install the File Archiver for Windows Agent. See Deployment - File Archiver for Windows Agent for procedures on installing the 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

  • This version of the software is intended to be installed in a CommCell where the CommServe and MediaAgent(s) version is 8.0.0.
  • Close all applications and disable any programs that run automatically, including anti-virus, screen savers and operating system utilities. Some of the programs, including many anti-virus programs, may be running as a service. Stop and disable such services before you begin. You can re-enable them after the installation.
  • Verify that you have the software installation disc that is appropriate to the destination computer’s operating system.
    Make sure that you have the latest software installation disc before you start to install the software. If you are not sure, contact your software provider.

Before You Begin
  • Log on to the client as local Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group on that computer.
  • Incase any driver has been uninstalled prior to the client installation it is advisable to reboot the system and then run the batch file.

Install Procedure

Getting Started
1. Place the software installation disc for the Windows platform into the disc drive.
  • Navigate to the NetworkStorage_DM_Client.bat file. Double click the batch file to run the installation in silent mode.
  • You would be prompted to confirm press any key to continue or Ctrl + C to cancel the installation.
2. Reboot the computer after installation.

Post-Install Considerations

General

  • Install post-release updates or Service Packs that may have been released after the release of the software. If you are installing a Service Pack, verify and ensure that it is the same version as the one installed in the CommServe Server.
  • You can override the stub file port number by using the EVMGRC_REMOTE_PORT_OVERRIDE registry key.  Use this key when the port number changes. Keep in mind that using this key defeats the benefit of being able to recall data using different port numbers for multiple Agents.
