To install the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers. At a Linux or UNIX server, place the Backup Exec installation media in the appropriate drive.
Re: *BETA* Backup Exec RALUS Add-on [13.0.0] I have also upgraded to the new beta agent as I am backing up with Backup Exec 2010. I am using the NDMP protocol and am happy to report that so far I haven't run into any issues. Hi, We are moving to Commvault Simpana 8 as our new backup service. We have an existing Backup Exec 12.5 which is installed on a file server. I wanted to install the commvault backup agent on this file server where Backup Exec 12.5 is currently running.
Log on as root on the server on which you want to install the Remote Agent. Navigate to the following directory on the installation media. Copy the RALUSRMALSRAMS.gz file in this directory to a directory on the local computer. Unzip the file.
For example: gunzip RALUSRMALSRAMS.gz. Untar the file. For example: tar -xf RALUSRMALSRAMS.tar.
Start the installralus script. For example:./installralus.
Do one of the following. To install the Remote Agent on the local server Press Enter. To install the Remote Agent to one remote server Type the name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of a Linux or UNIX server. To install the Remote Agent to multiple remote servers Type the names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names of the Linux or UNIX servers.
Leave a space between each identifier. After the installer checks for a valid Linux or UNIX operating system during the initial system check, press Enter. Review the package installation summary, and then press Enter. After the system installation requirements check completes, press Enter.
Start the prerequisites check by pressing Enter. Type the name, IP address, or fully qualified domain name of the media server (directory host) that you want to back up the Remote Agent. Type any additional names, IP addresses, or fully qualified domain names of media servers that you want to back up this Remote Agent. Do one of the following.
Do the following in the order listed:. To let the installer create the beoper group, type y. To select the next available Group ID, type n. To add the root user account to the beoper group, type y. Continue with the next step. Start the installation by pressing Enter.
After the installation completes, press Enter to start the configuration process. After the configuration process completes, press Enter to save the installation log to the following file: /var/tmp/vxif/installralus summary file number/installralus.log. If the Remote Agent installer did not create a beoper group, you must create it. Start the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers daemon. Configure the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers as appropriate.
Note- On Windows 2008, Vista or Windows 7, right click Setupaa.cmd and Run as Administrator. The command prompt will appear blank between a few seconds and a couple minutes while the remote agent installs.(Figure 2) Figure 2 5.
Once completed, the command prompt cursor will appear awaiting further input. Open the Windows Services Applet by clicking Start Programs Administrative Tools Services 7. Verify that the 'Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers' service is listed and started (Figure 3). Figure 3 The machine is now able to be selected for backup in the selections list on the media server. A reboot of the system is recommended as soon as possible after the install (As a workaround restarting the 'Backup Exec Remote Agent Service' might also work).
