Install Software in a PowerBroker^™ Environment from CommCell Console

If your Unix client computers are residing in an environment that uses PowerBroker^™ Servers for your Unix root access control, you are recommended to configure few additional settings prior to performing the remote installation. Use the following steps to install the software in a PowerBroker^™ environment from the CommCell Console.

Prerequisites

Prior to installing the software components in a PowerBroker^™environment from the CommCell Console, do the following:

1. Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the System Requirements.
2. Verify if the PowerBroker profile that you want to use for installing the software has sufficient permissions. See Required permissions for more information.
3. Configure the following registry key on the CommServe. For step-by-step instructions, see Configuring the CommServe section.

   sCmdToExecForNonRootUsers

4. Copy the cvpkgseed file from SoftwareCache\CVPackages\9.0.0\Unix location on CommServe's Software cache to CVPackages\UnixSeedPackages folder.

Required permissions

Make sure that the PowerBroker profile that you use for installing the software has the following permissions:

1. Permission to run any command from the following locations:
   • /tmp directory
   • Calypso install directory. For example: /opt.
2. Permission to execute the following command:

   chmod a+x /tmp/cvpkgseed

Configuring the CommServe

Before installing the software components for the first time, you are required to configure few additional settings on the CommServe. Use the following steps to configure the CommServe.

Logon to the CommServe computer as an Administrator. Click the Windows Start button, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK. From the Registry key editor, add the Registry key sCmdToExecForNonRootUsers at the following location. This registry key takes a String Value. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\Instance<xxx>\Deployment If you do not find the Deployment key under <Instance001> , you must create it. Set the string value to:Full path to pbrun along with the appropriate options. For example: /usr/local/bin/pbrun -u root Close the Registry key editor.

Once you have configured the CommServe, use the following steps to install the software components on a Unix computer that resides in a PowerBroker^™ environment:
