Install Requirements

The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgent. The Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgent for UNIX is installed on the computer from which the iDataAgent secures data. (This computer is referred to as the Client computer in this install procedure.)

You must install the Image Level iDataAgent for Unix on the client before you can install the Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgent for Unix on the client. Otherwise, the Image Level ProxyHost installation will fail. When you install the Image Level iDataAgent for Unix, the Unix File System iDataAgent and QSnap (CVGxCXBF) are automatically installed as well. All of these components are required in order to install the Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgent. See Install the Image Level iDataAgent - Unix for step-by-step Image Level installation procedures.

Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - Image Level ProxyHost iDataAgent.

Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software:

Press Enter to continue

NOTES

  • When you install on non-clustered computer, you must select the number associated with the option Install on a physical machine.
Certain Calypso packages can be associated with a virtual IP, or in other words, installed on a "virtual machine" belonging to some cluster. At any given time the virtual machine's services and IP address are active on only one of the cluster's servers. The virtual machine can "fail-over" from one server to another, which includes stopping services and deactivating IP address on the first server and activating the IP address/services on the other server.

Currently you have Calypso installed on physical node stone.company.com.

Now you have a choice of either adding another package to the existing installation or configure Calypso on a virtual machine for use in a cluster.

1) Add another package to stone.company.com
2) Install Calypso on a virtual machine
3) Exit

Your choice: [1]

7. If you have only one network interface, press Enter to accept the default network interface name and continue.

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

NOTES

  • The interface name and IP addresses depend on the computer in which the software is installed and may be different from the example shown.
Network interface with the following IPs have been found available on your system. One of these interfaces should be associated with the physical machine being installed. It will also be used by the CommServe to initiate connections to the physical machine. Note that you will be able to additionally customize Datapipe Interface Pairs used for the backup data traffic later in the Calypso Java GUI.

Please select the correct network interface below.
1) client (201.42.33.598)
