16. Type Yes and press Enter to enable laptop backup features.
  The following Laptop Backup features are enabled:
  • Automatic Ownership
  • Automatic Scheduling
  • Backup Monitor Tool

For more information, refer to FAQs.
Do you want to configure the iDataAgent for laptop or desktop backups? [no] yes
17. Press Enter. Do you want to use the agents for restore only without consuming licenses? [no]
18. Type the path for installation directory and press Enter. 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:
19. Type the path for log directory and 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:
20. Type Yes and then press Enter. 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?
21. Press Enter to assign user group.
 
  • It is recommended that you create a new user group before creating package, to specify access permissions to Calypso processes.
  • If you do not have user group created, type no and skip to next step.

If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "dba" group.

Would you like to assign a specific group to Calypso? [yes]
22. If you indicated Yes in above step, type the Group name and then press Enter. Please enter the name of the group which will be assigned to all Software files and on behalf of which all Software 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: galaxy

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".
23. If you enter no in step 21, you will be prompted to assign permissions for other users.
  • Type the appropriate number and press Enter.
  • A confirmation screen will mark your choice with an "X".

    Type "d" for Done, and press Enter.

 Access Permissions for Other Users

Installer will assign full access rights to root user and its belonging group for all installed Software files and its processes.

For any other users, you can specify the access permissions now.

However, since you chose not to assign a dedicated group in previous step, make sure you specify sufficient access rights for other users if you are also planning to install Software agents involving third party software protection.

[X] 1) Allow read permission to other users
[X] 2) Allow write permission to other users
[X] 3) Allow execute permission to other users
