Block Filter and Snap Driver (CVGxCXBF) Installation
Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in the following:
Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software:
Red Hat Linux will create an entry in the /etc/hosts file when it is first installed, in the following format:
<ip_address> <host name> localhost
For example, if the host name of your computer is bluesky, the entry will look something like this:
192.168.1.111 bluesky localhost
If you have not already done so, edit the /etc/hosts file. The edited entry should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Depending upon your environment, and using the above example again, you may also need an entry similar to this:
192.168.1.111 bluesky

Please select a setup task you want to perform
from the list below: Advance options provide extra setup features such as creating custom package, recording/replaying user selections and installing External Data Connector software. 1) Install data protection agents on this computer 2) Advance options 3) Exit this menu Your choice: [1] |
5. |
If your computer is 32-bit, press Enter. If your computer is 64-bit, see Install Unix Agents on 64-bit Platform for step-by-step procedure. |
This machine supports both 32 bit and 64 bit
binaries. By default, we will install 32 bit binary set that has full support for
all the modules included in this package. Please note that 64 bit binary set
currently only support limited modules. 1) All platforms (32 bit) 2) FS and MA only (64 bit) Your choice: [1] |

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.
You now have a choice of performing a regular Calypso install on the physical host or installing Calypso on a virtual machine for operation within a cluster. Most users should select "Install on a physical machine" here. 1) Install on a physical machine 2) Install on a virtual machine 3) Exit Your choice: [1] |

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
|
We found one network interface available on
your machine. We will associate it with the physical machine being installed,
and it will also be used by the CommServe to connect 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 check the interface name below, and make connections if necessary: Physical Machine Host Name: [angel.company.com] |
8. |
Specify the client name for the computer.
Press Enter to accept the default name and continue, or |
Please specify the client name for this machine. It does not have to be the network host name: you can enter any word here without spaces. The only requirement is that it must be unique on the CommServe. Physical Machine Client name: [angel] |

Specify the location where you want to install the software.
NOTES
Press Enter to accept the default path and continue, or Press Enter again to confirm the path. |
Please specify where you want us to install
Calypso binaries.
It must be a local directory and there should be at least 98MB of free space available. All files will be installed in a "calypso" subdirectory, so if you enter "/opt", the files will actually be placed into "/opt/calypso". Installation Directory: [/opt] .. Calypso will be installed in /opt/calypso.

Specify the location for the log files.
NOTES
Press Enter to accept the default path and continue, or Press Enter again to confirm the path. |
Please specify where you want to keep
Calypso log files.
It must be a local directory and there should be at least 100MB of free space available. All log files will be created in a "calypso/Log_Files" subdirectory, so if you enter "/var/log", the logs will actually be placed into "/var/log/calypso/Log_Files". Log Directory: [/var/log] .. Calypso log files will be created in /var/log/calypso/Log_Files. |
15. |
Indicate whether you would like to launch processes with inherent database
access rights.
Press Enter to
assign a new group, or |
Most of Calypso processes run with root
privileges, but some are launched by databases and inherit database access
rights. To make sure that registry and log files can be written to by both kinds
of processes we can either make such files world-writeable or we can grant write
access only to processes belonging to a particular group, e.g. a "calypso" or a "dba"
group.
We highly recommend now that you create a new user group and enter its name in the next setup screen. If you choose not to assign a dedicated group to Calypso processes, all temporary and configuration files will be created with -rw-rw-rw permissions. If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "dba" group. Would you like to assign a specific group to Calypso? [yes] |
16. |
If you indicated Yes in the previous step, you will be prompted for
the group name that must be used to launch processes.
Enter the group name and then press Enter to continue. Press Enter again to continue. |
Please enter the name of the group which
will be assigned to all Calypso files and on behalf of which all Calypso processes
will run.
In most of the cases it's a good idea to create a dedicated "calypso" group. However, if you're planning to use Oracle iDataAgent or SAP Agent, you should enter Oracle's "dba" group here. Group name: dba REMINDER If you are planning to install Calypso
Informix, DB2, PostgreSQL, Sybase or Lotus Notes iDataAgent, please make sure to include
Informix, DB2, etc. users into group "dba". |
17. |
Type a network TCP port number for the Communications Service (CVD) and press Enter.
Type a network TCP port number for the Client Event Manager Service (EvMgrC) and press Enter. NOTES
|
Every instance of Calypso should use a unique set of network ports to avoid
interfering with other instances running on the same machine. The port numbers selected must be from the reserved port number range and have not been registered by another application on this machine. Please enter the port numbers. Port Number for CVD : [8600] Port Number for EvMgrC: [8602] |
18. |

continue, or Press Enter to accept the default number of streams and continue. NOTES
This prompt is relevant only when you install/upgrade on a Macintosh or Solaris computer as appropriate. |

We now need to modify the /etc/system configuration file on this
computer. It is done to make sure that there will be enough shared memory and
semaphores available for Calypso programs.
Please review the changes below and answer "yes" if you want us to apply them to the /etc/system file. Otherwise, the installation will proceed, the changes will be saved to some other file, and you will have to apply them manually. set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=8570 (was 7930) Do you want us to apply these changes now? [no] Changes saved into /etc/system.gal.1744 Press <ENTER> to continue. |

If you indicated No in the previous step, the file to which the
changes have been saved is displayed. Make sure that these values are established later to ensure that all the requirements for this setup is satisfied. NOTES
Press Enter to continue. This prompt is displayed only when you install/upgrade on a Solaris (8 or 9) computer, in cases where the install detects that the computer does not have the maximum or minimum required shared memory settings. |
Although a ’no’ answer can be selected to this question during
install, the user should make sure the min requirements (below) for shared
memory are met, otherwise the backups may fail (the message in logs is ’could
not start the pipeline’).
