Prepare for installation

1. On the system that is to be your Application Recovery Manager Cell

Manager:

a. Enable TCP/IP protocol and hostname resolution. To check if they are

enabled:

i. Verify that name resolution is working properly by finding the

name of the computer. Open Command Prompt (on Windows platform) or Terminal (on

UNIX platform), and type:

hostname

The name of your computer will be displayed.

ii. Verify the name resolution and reachability:

Type:

nslookup Hostname

Trigger a reverse DNS lookup by typing the following:

nslookup IPAddress

The network is set up properly when you get the same hostname and IP address from both commands.

If you have problems with your network, see the HP Application Recovery Manager software installation and licensing guide.

b. Assign a static IP address.

2. Log on to the system as Administrator (Windows) or root (UNIX).

3. Set up a separate operating system account for use with Application

Recovery Manager, such as dpadmin. On Windows, ensure that:

• The user is a member of Administrators and Backup Operators.

• The user has logon rights as service (Windows advanced rights). This user account is needed solely to provide the required services. It will

not be used to log on to an individual's system. The account should be used as the Application Recovery Manager service

account in server and client installations. In a Windows domain, you only need to set up the account on the Primary Domain Controller.
