NOTES
- Do not install the software to a mapped network drive.
- Do not use the following characters when specifying the destination path:
/ : * ? " < > |
It is recommended that you use alphanumeric characters only. - If you intend to install other components on this computer, the selected installation directory will be automatically used for that software as well.
- If a component has already been installed, this screen may not be displayed if the installer can use the same install location as previously used.
-
If you intend to use the SnapProtect™ feature for Windows File System iDataAgent, the agent should be installed on a non-system drive and not a filer volume.
Click Browse to change directories.
Click Next to continue.
Firewall Configuration
- If this Client communicates with the CommServe Server and/or MediaAgent across a firewall, select Yes, configure firewall services, and then click Next to continue. Proceed to the next Step.
- If firewall configuration is not required, click No, do not configure firewall services and then click Next to continue. Proceed to the next section.
NOTES
- Operating systems, such as Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, may have more than one profile present. When you select No to configure firewall services, verify that firewall settings are not enabled in the profile(s).
- If the system detects firewall settings are present in the profile(s),
you must select from the following:
- Disable firewall for ALL profiles: Employ caution when choosing this option; firewall settings will be disabled in all profiles. This requires a system reboot; installation automatically resumes after reboot.
- No, Firewall is not enabled: Select this option if your
firewall settings allow communication with the CommServe computer.
Click Back to configure firewall services.
For all one-way firewalls allowing incoming connections and those one-way firewalls allowing outgoing connections without additional port filtering, skip this step.
Click Next to continue.
NOTES
- Consider the following:
- On the CommServe Server, this list should include all the MediaAgents and Clients that are on the other side of the firewall.
- On the MediaAgents/Clients this should include the CommServe computer, and any other Clients/MediaAgents on the other side of the firewall with which communications will be established.
- For each machine on the other side of the firewall that you want to
configure, choose the type of firewall configuration based on the firewall setup in
your environment. Choose from the following options:
- Click on 2-way firewall if you can open certain ports as bi-directional ports.
- Click 1-way firewall; host is reachable from this machine on the machine that is on the secure side of the firewall.
- Click 1-way firewall; host is NOT reachable from this machine on the machine that is on the public / DMZ side of the firewall.
- If you wish to communicate with computers in a clustered environment, ensure that you add the Host Name/IP Address of all physical nodes in the cluster (even if no CommCell components are installed) and all the virtual nodes in which CommCell components are installed.
- Type the host name or the IP address and the GxCVD port number of the host name, and click Add to place it in the Host Name/IP Address List.
If firewall separating this computer from others allows incoming connections, but these connections can be made only on a limited set of ports, then configure the appropriate port range here. For all other scenarios, skip this step.
Note that if you do not specify hostname(s) as well as port number(s), then the firewall services will not be configured.
NOTES
- Typically in a two-way firewall, the open ports must be indicated for all computers. In a one-way firewall, the ports must be specified on computers in the open side, if they are open in a restricted way. Note that the port ranges are not required for computers that are fully closed in the one-way firewall. For example, laptops which are configured as clients in the Workstation Backup Agent.
- In a clustered environment, make sure the firewall ports specified here are open for communication on all the physical nodes as well as the virtual nodes.

- The local (NetBIOS) name of the client computer.
- The TCP/IP IP host name of the NIC that the client computer must use to communicate with the CommServe Server.
NOTES
- Do not use spaces when specifying a new name for the Client.
- The default network interface name of the client computer is displayed if the computer has only one network interface. If the computer has multiple network interfaces, enter the interface name that is preferred for communication with the CommServe Server.
- If a component has already been installed, this screen will not be displayed; instead, the install program will use the same name as previously specified.
Click Next to continue.
- Type the location of the client's job results directory, or click Browse.
NOTES
- The Agent uses the job results directory to store the client's backup and restore job results.
- For SharePoint Archiver, this folder must always be local.
Client Group Selection
Click Next to continue.
NOTES
- This screen will be displayed only if Client Groups are configured in the CommCell Console. For more information, see Client Computer Groups.
Storage Policy Selection
NOTES
- A storage policy directs backup data to a media library. Each library has a default storage policy.
- When you install an Agent, the install program creates a default subclient for most Agents.
- If desired, you can change your storage policy selection at any time after you have installed the client software.
- If applicable, enable Global Filters for the default subclient.
- If this screen appears more than once, it is because you have selected multiple agents for installation and are configuring storage policy association for each of the installed agents.
Click Next to continue.
SharePoint Administration Account
Click Next to continue.
NOTES
The Base Services of the client will run under the user account that is specified. Use an account that meets this criteria:
- member of the local Administrator Group
- member of the SharePoint Administrator Group
- System Administrator role on the SQL Server Instance
In addition, this account must have "Log on as Service" permissions to ensure the Communication (CVD) Services will start. For more information on Base and Communication (CVD) Services, see Services.
Refer to the Knowledge Base article, ID #10573, Galaxy Service Account User Information for Windows 2003 and Window Server 2003 clients available from the Maintenance Advantage web site.

NOTES
- Schedules help ensure that the data protection operations for the Agent are automatically performed on a regular basis without user intervention. For more information, see Scheduling.
NOTES
- The Setup Complete message displayed on your screen will reflect the components you installed, and may look different from the example shown.
- If you install an Agent with the CommCell Console open, you need to refresh the CommCell Console (F5) to see the new Agents.
- If Reboot Now button is displayed make sure to reboot the computer before performing any other operations from the computer.
Click Finish to close the install program.
The installation is now complete.
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. Alternatively, you can enable Automatic Updates for quick and easy installation of updates in the CommCell component.
- After installing the Agent, you may want to configure the Agent before running
a data protection operation. The following list includes some of the most common
features that can be configured:
- Configure your subclients - see Subclients for more information.
- Schedule your data protection operations - see Scheduling for more information.
- Configure Alerts - See Alerts and Monitoring for more information.
- Schedule Reports - See Reports for more information.
The software provides many more features that you will find useful. See the Index for a complete list of supported features.
Agent Specific
-
The following configuration tasks are required
before performing an Archive Operation using the SharePoint Archiver Agent:
- Create a Subclient - See Subclients - Migration Archiver Agents for more details.
- Archiving Rules are initially disabled by default. You must clear the Disable All Rules option and deliberately enable the archiving rules before Archive Operations are possible.
-
When both SharePoint 2003 and 2007 servers co-exist on the same client with the
SharePoint Archiver Agent:
- Run the following command on the command line from the
<Software Installation Path>\Base
installation directory:
CVAddSharePointMenu -c - Restart Internet Information Services (IIS).*
*Typically, the iisreset command is used to restart IIS.
- Run the following command on the command line from the
<Software Installation Path>\Base
installation directory:
- After the SharePoint Archiver Agent has been installed, the user
may encounter the following error when attempting to access a
SharePoint site from a web browser:
This Windows SharePoint Services virtual server has not been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0.50727.42. For more information, please refer to Knowledge Base article 894903 at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42660.
In this scenario, the following command should be executed to resolve this error:
stsadm o upgrade forceupgrade url http://<URL_of_the_virtual_server>
-
In a SharePoint environment with more than 500 site collections, it is recommended to increase the size and number of log files with the <logfile>_MaxLogFileSize and <logfile>_MaxLogFileBackups registry keys. Replace <logfile> with any desired name (e.g., SPDBBackup, SPDocBackup, SPDocArchive, etc.).
Remote/ Silent/ Decoupled Installation
After completing a remote or decoupled installation of a SharePoint Agent, you must manually enter a SharePoint Server Name and SharePoint Administrator Account in the Agent's Properties dialog box. For step-by-step instructions on accounts, see Change Account for Accessing Application Servers/Filers.
Disaster Recovery Considerations
- Before you use your agent, be sure to review and understand the associated full system restore (or disaster recovery) procedure. The procedure for some agents may require that you plan specific actions or consider certain items before an emergency occurs. See Disaster Recovery for more information regarding your agent.
