Software Installation Roadmap
NetWorker’s default installation program installs all the NetWorker software packages
during a single session.
Read the sections referenced for each procedure before you install the NetWorker
software following these steps:
1. If you have an earlier version of NetWorker installed on your HP 3000, you must
remove the existing NetWorker software before you install this release of
NetWorker. See “Removing an Earlier Release of NetWorker” on page 16.
2. Confirm that you have met each of the system requirements. See “Installation
System Requirements” on page 16.
3. Load the NetWorker software from the product tape. See “Loading the NetWorker
Software” on page 17.
4. Install the required NetWorker software (client and storage node) on the system
you want to designate as the NetWorker client and storage node. See “Installing
the NetWorker Software” on page 17.
5. If you did not create the MPE group when installing the software, you must
manually create the MPE Group and reinstall NetWorker. See “Manually Creating
the MPE Group” on page 19.
6. Create the MPE user. See “Creating the MPE User” on page 19.
7. Start the NetWorker daemons. See “Starting the NetWorker Daemons” on page 20.
8. Configure the MPE client on the NetWorker Server. When you configure the MPE
client on the server, you must use the correct naming conventions for the MPE
volume sets.
NetWorker for MPE/iX allows you to list the groups in an MPE volume set, back
up multiple save paths in parallel, and determine what server-initiated saves will
run. See the following sections for more information:
– “Naming Conventions for Backing Up MPE Volume Sets” on page 24
– “Backing Up Multiple Save Paths in Parallel” on page 25
– “Determining What Server-Initiated Saves Will Run” on page 25
