Installing backup client for linux

[eclidad]

Hi,

I'll try and get away with the short version of the story.
We are running Arcserve Version 9. Have been for quite
a while.

We moved some files to a linux server that is not part
of the windows domain and the backup server does not
see them.

When we purchased the software we did buy the client
agent for linux. As far as I know this was not installed.
We did not need it at the time.

How can I tell if it is installed? What CD would it be on?
Universal Client Agents? Main install disk? Arcserve 7 for
Linux?

How does one push it out to the linux box or does the
install process guide you through this.

Thanks,
- Joel

the agent should be located on the CD ROM. Mount the CD-ROM, search the Linux file (ie. Linux.tar.Z), extract it to the Linux machine. Make sure backup server and linux machine can ping each other by name and IP-adress.
Run ./install from the extracted files and follow the instructions.
Also check Linux compatibility first from supportconnect.ca.com. Things have changed pretty much since ARCserve v9.

additionally if the install script is not working, you can
manually install the agent as follows:

1) move to the cmagent directory

rpm -i babcmagt.rpm

2) move to the babagent directory

rpm -i babagtux.rpm

After the installation is done.

3) move to the /opt/CA/BABuagent directory (default)

run ./uagentsetup

This should report uagent is enabled and running, if not
start the agent with "uagent start"
