  • 250 MB of disk space
Client System Requirements
On Systems Running UNIX

The prerequisites for UNIX user interface installation and remote installation on the client are:

  • Netscape Navigator 4.7.x or Netscape Navigator 7.0 or Mozilla 1.4 for Data Protector online help on UNIX
  • The inetd daemon must be up and running.
  • The Web browser must be able to run under the same account as Data Protector.
Disk space and RAM requirements of Data Protector UNIX clients

The following table shows the minimum disk space and RAM requirements for the various Data Protector clients:
Client System
RAM (MB)
Disk Space (MB)
User Interfacea

NOTES:
a. The documentation (pdf files, 55MB) is included.
b. The memory requirements for the GUI system vary significantly with the number of elements that need to be displayed at a time. This consideration applies to the worst case actual display which you want to view (like expanding a single directory). You do not need to consider the total of directories and file names on a client, unless you want to expand all directories while viewing. It has been shown that 2 MB memory is required per 1000 elements (directories or file names) to display plus a base need for about 50 MB. So the 128 MB of RAM are enough to display the maximum number of file names.
c. With regard to the disk space, keep in mind, the page file alone should be able to grow to about 3 times the physical memory.

NOTE: The figures indicate requirements from the agent only. For example the "disk space" figure does not include space allocation for the OS, page file or other applications.
NOTE: The Data Protector A.06.0 HP-UX and Solaris GUI are based on Windows emulation Software and therefore require higher graphical processing power. It is recommended to use midrange (or higher) workstation system with considerable graphics power. Usage over dial-up line is not feasible.
HP-UX Systems

When installing or upgrading remotely, the available disk space in the folder /tmp should be at least the size of the biggest package being installed.
Solaris Systems

When installing a Media Agent, make sure that the following entry is in the file /etc/system: set semsys:seminfo semmni=100.
When installing or upgrading remotely, the available disk space in folders /tmp and /var/tmp should be at least the size of the biggest package being installed.
The Solaris installation CD-ROM is in the pkg stream format, which is not recognized by the standard tar utility. That is why the HP-UX, and not the Solaris installation CD-ROM must be used for the local installation/upgrade of Solaris clients.
On Systems Running Windows 2000

The prerequisites for Windows user interface installation and remote installation on the client are:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2
  • Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1
  • Have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher installed on the system.

The following table shows the disk space and RAM requirements of Data Protector Windows clients:

 NOTES:
a. The documentation (.pdf files,55 MB) is always included.
b. The memory requirements for the GUI system vary significantly with the number of elements that need to be displayed at a time. This consideration applies to the worst case actual display which you want to view (like expanding a single directory). You do not need to consider the total of directories and file names on a client, unless you want to expand all directories while viewing. It has been shown that 2 MB memory are required per 1000 elements (directories or file names) to display plus a base need for about 50 MB. So the 256 MB of RAM are enough to display about the maximum number of file names.
c. With regard to the disk space, keep in mind, the page file alone should be able to grow to about 3 times the physical memory.
NOTE: The figures indicate requirements from the agent only. For example the "disk space" figure does not include space allocation for the OS, page file or other applications.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Windows XP Service Pack 2 introduces an improved version of the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), under a new name as Microsoft Firewall. Contrary to Service Pack 1, the firewall is turned on by default.
During the installation of a new Data Protector client using the Installation Server, the installation agent is started on the remote computer. The Installation Server then connects to this agent through the Data Protector Cell port (by default 5555). However, if Microsoft Firewall is running, the connection cannot be established and the installation fails.

To resolve this, perform one of the following steps:

  • Configure Windows Firewall to allow connection through a specific port.
  • If the omnirc variable OB2FWPASSTHRU is set on the Installation Server, the installation agent automatically registers itself with Windows Firewall and the installation continues normally.
Java web reporting

Java VM versions 1.4.2 or later must be installed on the system and enabled in the Web browser. The supported browsers are Netscape Navigator 4.7.x, Netscape 7.x , Mozilla 1.7 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
You can download a Java VM plug-in for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator browsers at http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/.
Novell NetWare
  • Any Novell system that is part of a Data Protector cell must have TCP/IP version 3.1 or later installed.
  • Novell Netware 6.5 must have the Support pack 1 or later installed.
  • NOTE: DP only supports a specific OS/application version as long this is also supported by the respective vendor.
Local Client
Installation		 UNIX clients are installed locally using the installation script omnisetup.sh. You can install the client locally from the HP-UX Installation Server installation CD-ROM and import it to the Cell Manager using automated procedure. For the installation procedure, refer to the HP Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide. MPE/iX, Novell NetWare, and OpenVMS clients can be installed only locally. Remote installation is not supported.
Upgrade The upgrade procedure to Data Protector A.06.00 from Data Protector A.05.00, A.05.10, and A.05.50 is documented in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide. To upgrade from an even earlier version, you need to first upgrade to Data Protector A.05.00 and then upgrade to Data Protector A.06.00 following the procedure in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.
On Solaris, you can perform a one-step upgrade from Data Protector A.05.00, A.05.10 or A.05.50 to Data Protector A.06.00. When upgrading both, HP-UX from 10.20 to 11.x and from OmniBack II to Data Protector, you need first to remove OmniBack II, upgrade the operating system and then install Data Protector A.06.00.
Requirements for HP Data Protector Services on Windows Server 2003 HP Data Protector uses three services: OmniInet - Client backup service, CRS - Cell Server Service, and RDS - Cell Server Database Service. By default, OmniInet and RDS services are running under the Local System account, and CRS service is running under the Administrator's account.
You can change the account information for any of these services.

However, the following are minimum requirements that must be met by the new accounts:

Software Licensing The Data Protector software A.06.00 product structure is based on performance.

The more drive licenses that are installed, the more tape drives can be used for backup in parallel, thus the faster the backup will be performed. The product structure is modular and offers a lot of flexibility. You can order the license that provides the Data Protector software functionality, which best meets the specific requirements of your environment. The Data Protector software A.06.00 product structure and licensing consists of three main categories:

  1. The Starter Packs: A management server (Cell Manager) is supported on HP-UX,
    Windows, Solaris and Linux.
  2. Additional tape drive licenses, referred to as Drive Extensions, for one drive.
  3. Data Protector Functional Extensions: The functional extensions licenses are required once per instance (system, library and terabyte) for on-line backup of databases and applications, the Manager-of-Managers functionality, for libraries with more than 60 media slots, for open file backup, direct backup, Instant Recovery, NDMP, and zero downtime backup.

NOTE: The UNIX product licenses operate on the UNIX, Windows and Novell NetWare platforms, providing the functionality regardless of the platform, while the Windows product licenses operate on the Windows, Novell NetWare and Linux platforms only. Passwords are bound to the Cell Manager and are valid for the entire Data Protector cell. Clients do not require any license for file system or disk image backups.
