Configure MediaAgent Specific Information
The software in a Unix cluster can be installed from the active node in the cluster group using the following procedure. Note that for a passive node in a Unix cluster, you need to install the software separately on the passive node in the cluster group.
For an overview of deploying the software components in a clustered environment, see Clustering Support.
Review the following Install Requirements before installing software on a Unix cluster:
Complete the following steps:
You can use the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) package management system to install all Linux versions of the agent. Also, you can use the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) package management system to install all Debian Linux versions of the agent. For step-by-step instructions, see Base Software Install for RPM Package Manager and Base Software Install for APT Package Manager.
If you are installing on a HP-UX computer, you must manually mount the installation disc as described in Mount the Software Installation Disc.
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] |
Cluster Selection |

6. | Type 2 and press Enter to install on a virtual 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.
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] |
7. | Type the name of the virtual machine that you want to configure or its corresponding IP address and press Enter. |
Please enter the hostname
or IP address of the virtual machine being installed. It can be either short
or long; the only requirement is that it must be resolvable by the name
services configured on this machine WARNING: You should follow this path ONLY if this host participates in a cluster and you really want to install Calypso on the virtual machine. This is NOT how most people will use Calypso. If you got into this screen by mistake, hit ^C and restart cvpkgadd. Virtual Machine Host Name: |
8. | This prompt appears if you entered the short form of the virtual machine host name in the previous step. If you want to use the long form of the host name, accept the yes default; if not, type no. Then press Enter. |
It looks like name
"example.company.com" resolves to the same IP as "example". Generally,
it's better to use longer name to address a host: less chances for
name-to-IP resolution problems on CommServe or other IDA/MA.
Would you like to use fully qualified "example.company.com" instead of "example"? Use longer "example.company.com" name? [yes] |
9. |
If you have already installed the software on the
virtual machine for the active node, accept the yes default to
install for the passive node, press Enter, and go to the next
step.
If you still must install for the active node, type no, press Enter, and perform the install for the virtual machine for the active node. NOTES
|
When installing new
Calypso packages on a virtual machine, you should start with the active
node, that is the host where the virtual machine is currently running. This node appears to be passive, so we will assume that you have already installed Calypso for example.company.com on the active node. Is this correct? [yes] |
10. | Type the name of the virtual client and press Enter. |
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.
Virtual Machine Client Name: [hpuxmc1] |
11. |
Specify the network interface that you want to
associate with the physical machine and press Enter. NOTES
|
Even though it is a
virtual machine that you are installing now, we still have to ask you to
provide hostname and client name for the physical node.
Network interfaces with the following IPs are available on your system. Please select the one that you want to be associated with Calypso physical machine. The interface should be static, and should not get disabled in case of cluster failover. 1) mackrel71 Interface number: [1] 2 |
12. | Verify the name of the physical interface and make any required changes. Then press Enter. |
Please verify the
physical interface name below. Make it as complete (with fully qualified
domain name) as possible.
Physical Hostname: [mackrel] |
13. | Enter a node name for the physical machine and press Enter. |
Even though you are
installing Calypso on a machine, we still need to ask you to provide a
node name for the physical 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 Node Name: [mackrel] |

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] |
21. |
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. For installs on a Solaris computer, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, skip to Setup Complete. |
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". |
