4.11.0 Installation Procedure for Linux/UNIX-Based Systems
The section describes the NVBU installation procedure for the following operating systems. It describes the installation prompts that are displayed once the
installation has been initiated.
AIX
HP-UX Itanium
Linux (all versions)
MP-RAS
Solaris
For details on the steps required to initiate an installation, refer to the relevant operating system’s section in this chapter.
1. Select a Language 1. English 2. Japanese EUC 3. Chinese Simplified 4. Korean 5. French 6. German Select language? [1]:
Press 1 or Enter to install the English version of NVBU. For other languages, press the corresponding key.
2. Have you read and agreed to the terms of the license? (y = yes, n = no, d = display license) (y n d) [d]:
y – To accept the license agreement. The installation will continue if you press y (the license agreement will not be displayed).
n – To reject the license agreement. The installation will terminate if you press n. Select a Language 1 English 2 Japanese EUC 3 Chinese Simplified 4 Korean 5 French 6 German Select language? [1]:1 - English selected
Have you read and agreed to the terms of the license? (y = yes, n = no, d = display license) (y n d) [d]:y
Should a client or server version of NetVault be installed? (c s) [c]:s
Where should NetVault be installed? [/usr/netvault]:
Where should NetVault database be installed? [/usr/netvault/db]: Please enter a NetVault machine name
using A-Z, a-z, _ and 0-9 [LinuxServer]:
Please enter the NetVault password for this machine: Please confirm password:
d – To display the license agreement. This is the default value. When you press d, the agreement is displayed in parts. The percentage of text displayed is shown at the bottom. To display the next part, press Enter. Continuously holding down the Enter key will scroll through the entire agreement, and end with the next prompt.
Important: It is strongly recommended that you thoroughly review the license agreement before proceeding with the installation.
3. Should a client or server version of NetVault be installed? (c s) [c]:
c – This option is selected by default. It refers to a “Client” installation of NVBU. With this type of installation the system will be set up to serve as a Heterogeneous Client of the NVBU Server. Its data can be backed up under the control of an NVBU Server. This machine will either need to be added to an existing NVBU Server or use the NVBU Console to access the NVBU Domain Management window and select an existing NVBU Server to act as its Domain Controller. This installation offers the quickest install and requires a lesser amount of space on the target machine.
s – This option refers to a “Server” installation of NVBU. The recipient system can then be configured to regulate the backup of all NVBU Clients that are later added to it. With this installation a little more space is required as the NVBU Server software requires a directory to house the NVDB – a central repository that contains all relevant information pertaining to NVBU operations.
4. Where should NetVault be installed? [/usr/netvault]:
On Linux/UNIX platforms, the default installation location is /usr/netvault. On Solaris platforms, it is /opt/netvault. This path is configurable.
To use the default installation directory, press Enter. NVBU automatically creates this directory during installation.
To change the installation directory, type the path. All the directories in this path must already exist. NVBU will not create them during installation
5. Where should NetVault database be installed? [/usr/netvault/db]:
On Linux/UNIX platforms, the default installation location for the NVDB is
/usr/netvault/db. On Solaris platforms, it is /opt/netvault/db. This path is configurable.
To use the default installation directory for NVDB, press Enter. NVBU automatically creates this directory during installation.
To change the installation directory for NVDB, type the path. All the directories in this path must already exist. NVBU will not create any non- existent directory during installation.
Note: The NVDB is not installed on the NVBU Clients. Therefore, the NVDB location is irrelevant and this path can be left as is for the client installations.
6. Please enter a NetVault machine name using A-Z, a-z, _ and 0-9:
The NVBU Machine Name is used for identification by other NVBU machines on the network.
By default, NVBU uses the machine’s O/S-assigned name as the NVBU Machine Name. To select the default name, press Enter.
To change the NVBU Machine Name, type a valid name. For details on valid NVBU Machine Names, refer to Determining the NVBU Name and Passwordon page 22.
7. Please enter the NetVault password for this machine:
The password is associated with the NVBU Machine Name and used to restrict access by other NVBU machines. For example, to add this machine as a Heterogeneous Client to another NVBU machine, you require the NVBU Password. For details on valid NVBU Passwords, refer to Determining the NVBU Name and Passwordon page 22.
Important: If you do not set any password for NVBU during installation, then NVBU uses the system’s root or administrator password.
8. Please confirm password:
Re-enter the password, and press Enter. If no password was set in the previous step, press Enter.
9. The installation will begin. When it completes, a message “Installation completed successfully” appears on the screen.
