Add a Lotus Notes Database Partition on Unix

Although it is possible to create multiple partitions during installation of the iDataAgent, you may need to add additional partitions at a later date. For clients running Unix, you repeat the installation procedure except as noted below:

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Required Actions

To add a Lotus Notes Database partition on Unix

1. Log on to the client as root.

2. Place the software installation disc for the Unix platform into the disc drive. You can also install the product using a disc drive mounted on another computer on the network.

3. Open a Terminal window, navigate to the disc and enter cvpkgadd. This package contains scripts which need super-user permission to execute.

4. Read the license agreement. Type y and press Enter to continue.

5. The following message displays (note that the menu options displayed below will vary depending on platform):

   1.CVGxMA

   2.CVGxOrIDA

   3.CVGxDB2IDA

   4.CVGxLndbIDA (Add New Partitions Only)

   5.CVGxLndocIDA

   6.Exit

   Module number: [4]

   Enter the module number corresponding to CVGxLndbIDA (Add New Partitions Only).

6. The partition number that displays reflects how many partitions have already been created.

   In this example, two partitions are already in existence; therefore, the new partition is numbered as 3:

   Please enter Notes DB Partition Name for partition 3.

   Partition Name:

   Type the name of the partition, then press Return (or Enter).

7. The following message prompts you to enter the Notes User Name for the partition. This is the user name used by the iDataAgent to log on to the Notes database.

   Please enter Notes User Name for this partition.

   Notes User Name:

   Type the Notes User Name for the partition, then press Return.

8. The following message prompts you to enter the Notes Home Directory for the partition. This is the directory in which the Lotus Notes software is installed.

   Please enter Notes Home Directory for this partition.

   Notes Home Directory:

   Type the Notes Home Directory for the partition, then press Return.

9. The following message prompts you to enter the Notes Data Directory for the partition. This is the directory in which all databases reside.

   Please enter Notes Data Directory for this partition.

   Notes Data Directory:

   Type the Notes Data Directory for the partition, then press Return.

10. The following message displays:

    You have entered all the required information for this partition.

    Please review it now, and accept "yes", if it is correct:

    Partition Name........ your entry here

    Notes User............ your entry here

    Notes Home Directory.. your entry here

    Notes Data Directory.. your entry here

    Is this correct? [yes]

    After verifying the above information, press Return to continue.

11. The following message displays:

    Configured 3 partition(s) of Notes so far.

    Would you like to configure another partition? [no]

    If you don’t want to configure another partition, press Return. (To configure another partition type yes and press Return to repeat the process starting at Step 5.)

12. The following message displays:

    Please select one storage policy for this IDA from the list below:

    1)SP_Library2_2

    2)SP_MagLibrary3_3

    Enter the module number corresponding to the storage policy to use for the configured partition.

13. After configuring the partition, the install program verifies the information entered during install and checks all requirements. A summary similar to the following displays:

    Successfully installed CVGxLndbIDA.

    Press ENTER to continue ...

    Press Return when prompted.

14. If this is the last component to be installed, enter the number corresponding to the Exit option on the menu.

This task is now complete.
