HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)

• Supported platforms
The Cell Manager can be installed on either the Windows or HP-UX platform.
See http://www.hp.com/support/manuals for details on supported
versions/releases of these platforms.
• Reliability of the Cell Manager system
Since the Cell Manager contains the IDB and since backup and restore cannot
be performed if the Cell Manager is down, it is important to choose a very reliable
system in your environment for the installation.
• Database required disk space
The Cell Manager holds the Application Recovery Manager Internal Database
(IDB). The IDB contains information regarding the backed up data and session
messages.
Refer to HP Application Recovery Manager software product announcements,
software notes, and references for minimum disk space requirements for the IDB.
NOTE:
You do not have to use the Cell Manager as the graphical user interface system. For
example, you may have a UNIX Cell Manager, but a user interface component installed
on a Windows client.
What’s next?
To determine the minimum requirements for your future Cell Manager system, refer
to
“Installing the Application Recovery Manager Cell Manager (CM) and Installation Server(s) (IS)” on page 31.
Choosing the Application Recovery Manager user
interface system
Application Recovery Manager provides a GUI and CLI. The user interface is installed
as an Application Recovery Manager software component.
The system selected to control the cell will be used by a network administrator or a
backup operator.
However, in a large computer environment, it may be desirable to run the user
interface on several systems, and if the environment is a mixed one, on various
platforms.
