Base Software Installation

Otherwise, accept no, press Enter to continue.

NOTES

• Select Download from the software provider website to download the latest software scripts from your software provider website.

  Make sure you have internet connectivity when you are using this option.

• Select Use the one in the installation media, to install the software scripts from the disc or share from which the installation is performed.
• Select Use the copy I already have by entering its unix path, to specify the path if you have the software script in an alternate location.

If you choose to download it from the website now, please make sure you have internet connectivity at this time. This process may take some time depending on the internet connectivity.

1) Download from the software provider website.

2) Use the one in the installation media

3) Use the copy I already have by entering its unix path

Your choice: [1] 2

NOTES

• Internet connectivity is required to download updates.
• This step is applicable for multi instancing.

Press Enter to continue.

NOTES

• The amount of free space required depends on the components selected for install, and may look different from the example shown.

Press Enter to accept the default path and continue, or
Enter a path and then press Enter to continue.

Press Enter again to confirm the path.

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.
Press ENTER to continue ...

NOTES

• All the modules installed on the computer will store the log files in this directory.
• The amount of free space required depends on the components selected for install, and may look different from the example shown.

Press Enter to accept the default path and continue, or
Enter a path and then press Enter to continue.

Press Enter again to confirm the path.

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.
Press ENTER to continue ...

Press Enter to assign a new group, or
Type No and then press Enter to continue.

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]

Enter the group name and then press Enter to continue.

Press Enter again to continue.

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".
Press <ENTER> to continue ...

NOTES

• For more information about Network TCP Ports, see Network TCP Port Requirements.
• For more information about these services, see Services.
• If the port number you entered already exists, a message will be displayed Port #### is already reserved in /etc/services. To work around this issue, enter different port number.

For firewall options and configuration instructions, see Firewall Configuration and continue with the installation.

If you do not wish to configure the firewall services, type No and then press Enter to continue.

NOTES

• Ensure that the CommServe is accessible before typing the name; otherwise the installation will fail.
• If you enter a short name which resolves to the same IP address as the fully qualified CommServe name, you will be asked if you would prefer to use the fully qualified name.

Kernel Parameters

NOTES

• The number of streams specified ensures that concurrent backup/restore streams would have sufficient system resources. For more information on the subject, see Configuring Kernel Parameters for Macintosh and Configuring Kernel Parameters for Solaris.

This prompt is relevant only when you install/upgrade on a Macintosh or Solaris computer as appropriate.

Number of streams: [10]

Type Yes, and then press Enter to automatically update the file and continue, or
Press Enter to accept the default No and continue (if you do not want to automatically update the file).

This prompt is displayed only when you install/upgrade on a Solaris (8 or 9) or Macintosh computer.

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)
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=8420 (was 7780)
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=10320 (was 9680)
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=8570 (was 7930)

NOTES

• The settings that are displayed are the maximum or minimum required settings. Value ’640’, which is provided for various shared memory segment or semaphore requirements, is a maximum value based on 10 streams.

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.

Configure the Index Cache

NOTES

• You can accept the default or choose another location. In either case, the location must be local.
• If desired, you can change the index cache location to a network drive from the CommCell Console, any time after you have installed the MediaAgent software.
• The recommended minimum space required for the index cache directory is 256 MB.
• It is recommended that the index cache location to be on a partitioned drive used exclusively for holding an index cache.
• For information on calculating the space requirements for index cache, see Calculating the Storage Space Required for Index Cache.
• Do not specify the root directory as the index cache directory.

Press Enter to accept the default path and continue, or
Enter a path and then press Enter to continue.

NOTES

• This prompt is displayed when the specified Index Cache directory is not found.
  If you wish to specify another directory for Index Cache, type No and then press Enter.
  Specify the location for the MediaAgent's Index Cache.

Are you sure you entered its name correctly? [yes]

Press ENTER to continue ...

CVGxWA Installation

In order for the Solaris MediaAgent to utilize a tape library attached to this computer, you must install the WA SCSI driver after installing the MediaAgent. If you are using only a disk library, it is not required to install the CVGxWA package.

If you do not want to install the WA SCSI driver, enter the number corresponding to Exit option and skip to Setup Complete.

Press Enter to continue.

Press ENTER to continue ...

Do you want us to load the driver into the kernel(yes/no)? [yes]

The installation is now complete.

Post-Install Considerations

General

• Review Install Considerations after installing the software.

• Install post-release updates or Service Packs that may have been released after the release of the software. When you are installing a Service Pack, 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.
