HP StorageWorks Application Recovery Manager Installation and Licensing Guide (T4395-96002, February 2008)

Overview of the Installation Procedure

Chapter 14

Performing a backup on the backup system minimizes the load on the

application system. The VSS integration coordinates backup and restore

processes.

Before you install Application Recovery Manager on your network,

define the following:

✓ The system on which the Cell Manager will be installed. See the

support matrices at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals

for

supported operating systems and versions.

Each cell can have only one Cell Manager. You cannot run Application

Recovery Manager without having a Cell Manager installed.

✓ The systems that will be used to access Application Recovery

Manager functionality through the user interface. These systems

must have the User Interface component installed.

✓ The systems that will be backed up (application systems). These must

have the ZDB Agent and Microsoft Shadow Copy Integration

components installed.

✓ The systems that will have ZDB disk arrays connected (backup

systems). These must have a ZDB Agent and Microsoft Shadow Copy

Integration components installed.

✓ The system(s) on which the Application Recovery Manager

Installation Server(s) will be installed.

The choice of Installation Server computer is independent of the Cell

Manager and the system(s) on which the User Interface is installed.

The Cell Manager and Installation Server can be on the same system

or on different systems.

An Installation Server can be shared between multiple Application

Recovery Manager cells.

When you have determined the roles of the systems in your future

Application Recovery Manager cell, the installation procedure consists of

these general steps:

1. Checking the prerequisites for installation.

2. Installing the Application Recovery Manager Cell Manager.

3. Installing the Installation Server(s) and the User Interface.

4. Installing client systems either remotely (recommended option,

where possible), or locally from the CD-ROM.
