NOTES

  • This prompt is displayed only when you are installing on AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris computers.
  • Select 32 bit when installing on a 32-bit computer.
  • When installing on a 64-bit computer, if this is the first package, determine whether you want to install 32-bit binaries or 64 bit binaries.

    You can determine this by verifying whether all the components that you wish to install in this computer are supported in 64-bit in System Requirements.

    Note that when the first component is installed using 64-bit binaries, you cannot subsequently install another component using 32-bit. (Or vice-versa.)

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)

13. Press Enter. Do you want to use the agents for restore only without consuming licenses? [no]
14. Type the appropriate number to install the latest software scripts and 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.
Installation Scripts Pack provides extra functions and latest support and fix performed during setup time. Please specify how you want to get this pack.

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]

15. Press Enter. Latest Service Pack provides extra functions and latest support and fix for the packages you are going to install. You can download the latest service pack from software provider website.

If you decide 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.

Do you want to download the latest service pack now? [no]

16. Press Enter to accept the default path and continue.

Or, type a path to modify the default path and then press Enter.

Please specify where you want us to install Calypso binaries.

It must be a local directory and there should be at least 170MB 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]

17. Press Enter to accept the default path and continue.

Or, type a path to modify the default path and then press Enter.

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]

18. Indicate whether you would like to launch processes with inherent database access rights.

Press Enter to assign a new group, or

Type No and then press Enter to continue.

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]

19. 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.

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".
Press <ENTER> to continue ...

20. 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.

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]

21. If this computer and the CommServe is separated by a firewall, type Yes and then press Enter.

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.

Is there a firewall between this client and the CommServe? [no]
22. Type the fully qualified name of the CommServe computer and press Enter.

NOTES

  • Ensure that the CommServe is accessible before typing the name; otherwise the installation will fail.
Please specify hostname of the CommServe below. Make sure the hostname is fully qualified, resolvable by the name services configured on this machine.

CommServe Host Name:

23. Type path for the Job Results Directory and press Enter. Please specify the name for the JobResults directory.

Since you are installing Calypso on a virtual machine, the JobResults directory must reside on a shared disk and should have at least 20MB of free space available. The directory will be used to store intermediate data that should be passed from one backup phase to another.

JobResults Directory:

24. Press Enter. Commcell Level Global Filters are set through Calypso GUI's Control Panel in order to filter out certain directories or files from backup Commcell-widely. If you turn on the Global filters, they will be effective to the default subclient. There are three options you can choose to set the filters.

1) Use Cell level policy
2) Always use Global filters
3) Do not use Global filters

Please select how to set the Global Filters for the default subclient? [1]

25. Type the number of a Client Group and press Enter.

A confirmation screen will mark your choice with an "X". Type d for done with the selection, and press Enter to continue.
