the directory you just created for this purpose.

Installing the CA BrightStor ARCserve Agent

This section explains how to install the CA BrightStor ARCserve Agent versions

11.5 and 12.0.

Notes

• This procedure assumes that you are using the default SnapServer configuration;

and you have created a directory called agent (to which to copy your agent/client

files) on the default share (SHARE1), such that the path to the directory is /shares/

SHARE1/agent.

• Installing the BrightStor ARCserve backup agent on a SnapServer requires three

agent (*.rpm) files. These agent files are available from your BrightStor ARCserve

CD, but some ARCserve CDs may not contain all the required files. To obtain the

files you need, contact Computer Associates. If you have questions about the

agent configuration, refer to your CA ARCserve documentation.

Prepare the SnapServer

1 Connect to the SnapServer via SSH.

Note SSH v2 is required. If you fail to connect to the server, ensure that your SSH

client is configured to connect via SSH v2.

2 At the prompt, log in as admin, using the password you created for this account

during the initial setup of the server.

3 You are placed into the CLI shell. However, a standard Linux shell must be used

to install the agent. To launch a shell, type the following command and press

Enter:

osshell

To change to superuser, enter the following command, and press Enter:

su -

5 At the prompt, enter the admin user password, and press Enter.

6 To change to the agent directory, type the following command and press Enter:

cd /shares/SHARE1/agent
