156 SnapServer Administrator Guide
Installing the Symantec Backup Exec RALUS Agent
To install the Backup Exec RALUS agent, do the following:
Prepare the SnapServer
1 Connect to the server over 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 Log in as admin (using the password for the admin account).
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
4 Change to root by entering the following command:
su -
Give the root password (same as admin password).
5 Select a volume on which to put a directory called ralus.
Note If you later delete the volume the ralus directory is on, you will need to
reinstall the agent.
cd /hd
ls [lists all the volumes]
df -h [shows volume usage]
6 Determine which volume has the most available space by looking at the Avail
column in the volume usage table. Change directory to the volume with the most
available space.
cd [volumename]
where [volumename] is the name of the volume with the most available space.
7 Create a directory ralus on that volume:
mkdir ralus
8 In the ralus directory, create 3 directories called VRTS, VRTSralus, and
VRTSvxms.
cd ralus
mkdir VRTS VRTSralus VRTSvxms
ls
[to verify that the directories are there]
