HP Data Protector installation and licensing guide

Local installation

If you do not have an Installation Server for UNIX installed in your environment, you

have to perform local installation from the UNIX installation DVD-ROM. See “ Local installation of UNIX clients ” on page 148 for instructions.

Remote installation

You install the Tru64 client software from the Installation Server for UNIX to clients using the Data Protector graphical user interface. For the step-by-step procedure for

remotely installing the software, refer to “ Remote installation of Data Protector clients ” on page 80.

As soon as the client components have been installed, the target system automatically becomes a member of the Data Protector cell.

Tru64 Cluster

You must have root permissions on every target system.

Data Protector has to be installed locally or remotely on the shared disk of the Tru64

Cluster. Use one of the cluster nodes to perform an installation.

After the installation, the cluster virtual hostname and individual nodes have to be

imported to the Data Protector cell. For a detailed procedure, see “ Importing a cluster-aware client to a cell ” on page 214.

Connecting a backup device to Tru64 client

Once you have a Media Agent component installed on an Tru64 client, proceed as follows:

1.

Shut down the computer and connect your backup device to the SCSI bus.

NOTE:

It is not recommended to connect the backup device on the same SCSI bus as the hard disk drive.

Check that no other device is using the same SCSI address which has been selected for your backup device.

See http://www.hp.com/support/manuals for details about supported devices.

2.

Switch on the computer and wait until the boot process completes. Verify that the system correctly recognizes your new backup device.
