HOW TO Install HP Data Protector 5.5 on Linux

Contents

This manual describes the install of HP Data Protector 5.5 Core component, Disk Agent and Media Agent on a Linux server. In this manual the backup server is backupserver.demo.local and the linux server is linuxserver.demo.local

Background

The HP Data Protector 5.5 suite does not contain a simple installation for Linux Agents, therefore this manual is necessary.

This manual uses:

-          hp OpenView Storage Data Protector 5.5 for HP-UX 11.23 IA-64 cdrom

-          Enterprise Linux / CentOS installation on server (linuxserver.demo.local)

-          ncompress-4.2.4-41.rhel4.x86_64.rpm

-          putty and winscp

Please check these components before continuing installation.

Install

1. Use winscp in binary mode to copy DP_A0550_UXia64_IS.sd_depot from the cdrom to /var/tmp on the linux server
2. Connect to the linux server with putty.
3. Logon with root credentials
4. type vi /etc/hosts
• add 10.10.10.10 backupserver.demo.local to the hosts file
5. type cd /var/tmp
• go to dir where depot file remains
6. type tar -xvf DP_A0550_UXia64_IS.sd_depot
• extract the depot file
7. type mkdir /tmp/omni_tmp
• create a temporary installation location
8. type cd /tmp/omni_tmp
• go there
9. type tar -xvf /var/tmp/DATA-PROTECTOR/OMNI-CORE-IS/opt/omni/databases/utils/gpl/i386/linux-60/utils.tar omni_rinst.sh
