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

Installing Application Recovery Manager on Your Network
Installing Application Recovery Manager Clients
Chapter 2 27
Prerequisites To install a client, you must have the Administrator rights. The Windows
system that will become your future Application Recovery Manager
client system must meet the following requirements:
✓ Have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.
✓ Have sufficient disk space for the Application Recovery Manager
client software. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Application Recovery
Manager Release Notes for details.
✓ Have port number 5555 (default) free.
✓ Have the Microsoft implementation of the TCP/IP protocol installed
and running. The protocol must be able to resolve hostnames. The
computer name and the hostname must be the same. Refer to
“Setting Up the TCP/IP Protocol on Windows Systems” on page B-20
for information on installation and configuration of the TCP/IP
protocol.
Limitation • Due to the security restrictions imposed by the Windows operating
system, Installation Server can be used to remotely install clients
only in the same domain.
Cluster-Aware
Clients
Additional prerequisites are required for installing cluster-aware clients.
Refer to “Installing Cluster-Aware Clients” on page 47 for more details.
Before starting the installation procedure, decide which components you
need to install on your client system. For the list of the Application
Recovery Manager software components and their descriptions, see
“Application Recovery Manager Components” on page 28.
HP StorageWorks
Fast Recovery
Solution
You can install Application Recovery Manager on the same system where
you have the HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solution (FRS) installed.
These two products can coexist on the same system as long as they use
different disk array volumes.
During the Application Recovery Manager setup, an existing FRS
installation is detected. If you install a client locally, choose one of the
three options: Continue with installation, Cancel installation, or
Deinstall FRS. Note that the backups made with FRS cannot be
restored with Application Recovery Manager. If you install a client
remotely, FRS is left on the system.
