Getting Started - Deploying in a Global Zone or Unix Servers

Where to Install

Install the software directly on the computer hosting the global zone or the Unix Server that you wish to protect. Make sure the computer satisfies the minimum requirements specified in the System Requirements.

It is recommended to install the software on the global zone to protect non-changing or static data on non-global zones. If the data is dynamic or contains application data, install the software on the non-global zone.

Use the following steps to install the SAP for MaxDB iDataAgent on the following:

Installation

Related Topics
  The software can be installed using one of the following methods:

Method 1: interactive Install

1) Install data protection agents on this computer

2) Advance options

3) Exit this menu

Your choice: [1]
5. If your computer is 32-bit, press Enter.

If your computer is 64-bit, see Install Unix Agents on 64-bit Platform for step-by-step procedure.

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 platform (32 bit)

2) FS and MA only (64 bit)

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.

NOTES

  • The interface name 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.

Enter a path to modify the default path and press Enter.

NOTES

  • 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]
14. Press Enter to accept the default location for the log files and continue, or

Enter a path to modify the default location and press Enter.

NOTES

  • 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. Type no.

NOTES

 Most of Software 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 Software processes, you will need to specify the access permissions later.

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

Would you like to assign a specific group to Software? [yes]
16. Type d for done. 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

17. If you indicated Yes in Step 15., you will be prompted for the group name that must be used to launch processes.

Enter the group name and then press Enter.

NOTES

  • See your Unix systems administrator for assistance in creating a user group.
 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: 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".
18. 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]
19. If this computer and the CommServe is separated by a firewall, type Yes and then press Enter.
