Supported Applications

The Data Classification Enabler for Exchange is supported for the following applications:

Microsoft Exchange 2007 64-bit Server

Data Classification for Exchange is not supported only if Exchange 2007 Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) Configuration is installed on Windows 2003.

SRM Support

See System Requirements - SRM Windows File System Agent

Processor

All Windows-compatible processors supported

Memory

8 MB plus an additional 8-13 MB for each NTFS volume minimum required

Hard Disk

For the software, a file stored at the root of each NTFS volume of approximately 40 MB for every 100,000 files/folders on that volume with the default Indexes. The DC_CREATE_INDEX registry key allows you to administer indices for Data Classification databases.

The metafiles (databases) created by Data Classification usually consume about 5% of the total space on the hard disk. Depending on the type of data and folder layout, the metafiles may consume additional space.

Peripherals

DVD-ROM drive

Network Interface Card

Miscellaneous

TCP/IP Services configured on the computer.

Task Scheduler services configured on the computer The Data Classification Enabler on Unix supports the following file system types:

Supported File System(s)

Platform Associated with the Enabler

Enhanced Journal File System (JFS2) AIX

Extended 2 File System (ext2) Linux

Extended 3 File System (ext3) Linux

Global File System 2 (GFS2) Linux

Unix File System (UFS) Solaris

VERITAS File System (VxFS) Solaris

'X' File System (XFS) Linux

Zettabyte File System (ZFS) Solaris

Data Classification can be installed independently of any agent. For System Requirements and install information specific to the File System iDataAgents, refer to:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package is automatically installed. Note that Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package can co-exist with other versions of this software.

.NET Framework 2.0 is automatically installed. Note that .NET Framework 2.0 can co-exist with other versions of this software.

If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.

To create SELinux policy module, perform the following steps as user "root":

Create the following files in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory:

File Name

Content of the file

<directory>/<file_name>.te

where:

<directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel

<file_name> is the name of the Unix file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file.

For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.te

The content of the file should be as follows:

policy_module(<name>,<version>)

##############################

where:

<name> is the name of the policy module. You can give any unique name to the policy module, such as a process or application name.

<version> is the version of the policy module. It can be any number, such as 1.0.0.

For Example: While creating a policy module for the backup_IDA application, you can use the following content.

policy_module(backup_IDA,1.0.0)

<directory>/<file_name>.fc

where:

<directory> is /usr/share/selinux/devel

<file_name> is the name of the Unix file, created to save the policy module statement. It is a good idea to use the same name for policy module and the file.

For example: When you are creating a policy module for backup_IDA application, you can use the following file name: backup_IDA.fc

The content of the file should be as follows:

Note that the following list of files is not exhaustive. If the process fails to launch, check /var/log/messages. Also, if required, add it to the following list of files.

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCTreeWrapper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libCVMAGuiImplgso -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2locale.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2osse.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDb2Sbt.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libdb2trcapi.so.1 -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libDrDatabase.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libIndexing.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

/opt/<software installation directory>/Base/libSnooper.so -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t,s0)

Create the policy file from command line. Use the following command. Ensure that you give the following commands in the /usr/share/selinux/devel directory.

[root]# make backup_IDA.pp

Compiling targeted backup_IDA module

/usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/backup_IDA.tmp

/usr/bin/checkmodule: policy configuration loaded

/usr/bin/checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 6) to tmp/backup_IDA.mod

Creating targeted backup_IDA.pp policy package

rm tmp/backup_IDA.mod tmp/backup_IDA.mod.fc

[root]# semodule -i backup_IDA.pp

[root]#

Execute the policy module. Use the following command:

[root]# restorecon -R /opt/<software installation directory>

SELinux is now configured to work with this application.

DISCLAIMER

Minor revisions and/or service packs that are released by application and operating system vendors may, in some cases, affect the working of our software. Although we may list such revisions and/or service packs as �supported� in our System Requirements, changes to the behavior of our software resulting from an application or operating system revision/service pack may be beyond our control. However, we will make every effort to correct such disruption as quickly as possible. When in doubt, please contact your software provider to ensure support for a specific application or operating system.

Additional considerations regarding minimum requirements and End of Life policies from application and operating system vendors are also applicable.
