2) Advance options

3) Exit this menu

Your choice: [1]
6. Press Enter. 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. 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 interface name that you wish to use as default, and then press Enter.

  The interface names and IP addresses depend on the computer in which the software is installed and may be different from the example shown.
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. 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.

Physical Machine Client name: [angel]

Press Enter to accept the default path.

  • If you want to specify a different path, type the path and then press Enter.

  • If you want to install the software binaries to an NFS shared drive, specify the directory on which you have mounted the NFS file system and then press Enter.

    In order to make sure that the client computer has read/write access to NFS shared drive, review the steps described in Installing Software Binaries to an NFS Shared Drive.

  Do not use the following characters when specifying the path:

!@#$%^&*():/?\
Please specify where you want us to install Calypso binaries.

It must be a local directory and there should be at least 176MB 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]
16. Press Enter to accept the default location.
 
  • Enter a path to modify the default location and press Enter.
  • All the modules installed on the computer will store the log files in this directory.
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]
15. Specify the location of the Data Classification cache directory and then press Enter.
  If the cvdccache directory does not exist at the specified location, it is created automatically. Press Enter to create the directory.
Calypso DC needs a dedicated directory where it will maintain the cache of file system changes. The amount of free space in that directory should be at least 512MB (you will be able to customize it later.)

DC Cache Directory:  /dcache
16. Press Enter to install Data Classification Enabler in a MONITOR mode.

For SnapProtect backups, install the Data Classification Enabler in MONITOR mode.

  In the MONITOR mode, the Data Classification Scan is performed only for those volumes which are included in the monitored volumes list.

In the FILTER mode, the Data Classification Scan is performed for all the volumes on a computer, except for the filtered volumes. Type No and press Enter to install Data Classification Enabler in a FILTER mode

 

 By default DC would monitor all volumes except system volumes (/, /opt, /usr, /tmp ...) and filtered volumes.  You can alter this behavior by choosing to monitor only specific volumes.

Do you want to monitor only specific volumes? [yes]

17. Press Enter.
  You can provide the list of volumes after the install. For more information refer to Add Volumes to the Monitored Volumes List.

 

 You can give list of volumes to monitor now or you can specify those volumes later after install.

Do you want to specify the volumes now? [no]

 
18. Pres Enter.
  By default, the DC Database directory for any volume is created at the root of the volume. You can change the location later. For more information, refer to Change the Data Classification Database Location. For SnapProtect backups, do not change the location of the database directory as it should reside on the source volume.
DC Database Directory

Simpana DC package needs a databse directory for each volume. The amount of
free space in that directory should be at least 2GB. You can specify a central
location now for the purpose.
If you do not specify the location, the DB will be created at the root
dirctory of each volume by default. You can, however, use the DCConsole or the
command line tool dccmd to relocate them after installation.

Do you want to specify the directory now? [no]
19. Enter the number corresponding to the Exit option and then press Enter to continue.

The installation is now complete.
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.

Currently you have Calypso installed on physical node stone.company.com.

Now you have a choice of either adding another package to the existing installation or configure Calypso on a virtual machine for use in a cluster.

1) Add another package to stone.company.com
2) Install Calypso on a virtual machine
3) Exit

  • If you are installing Data Classification Enabler in a cluster, install the software on the active node of the cluster.
  • Navigate to <Software Install Directory>/Base and give the following command to create a list of all the shared volumes

    ./DcClient -cluster volcreate <cluster name> /shared_vol

    Here <cluster name> is the name of the cluster where you are installing Data Classification Enabler

    The list of shared volumes is created and stored in the Job Results directory on the active node.
