Chapter 1 - Installation Overview

This section describes what you need to do to install Yosemite Backup.

In this section

• System Requirements

• Supported platforms

• Before You Install Yosemite Backup

• Installing Yosemite Backup

• Installing a service pack

System Requirements

Most operating systems list both minimum and recommended system requirements. As a general rule, if your system meets the minimum requirements for the operating system, it will also meet the minimum system requirements for Yosemite Backup. However, for better performance, we recommend that your system meet or exceed the recommended system requirements.

For example, Windows XP Professional requires a 233 MHz Pentium or Celeron family or AMD-K6, AMD Athlon or AMD Duron family processor, 64MB of RAM and 1.5GB of available hard disk space. But Microsoft recommends a 300 MHz processor and 128MB of RAM.

Depending on your specific requirements, your system should also meet the following:

• 20 GB of hard disk space

The Yosemite Backup Catalog requires additional space. When you install Yosemite Backup on the machine that will serve as the master server, Yosemite recommends that you select a hard drive other than the default drive. A disk drive with at least an additional 20 GB is recommended.

• VGA display with 1024x768 resolution, for use with Windows or X Window

• Tape backup device for use with Bare Metal Disaster Recovery

• CD drive for Yosemite Backup installation (recommended)

• CD or DVD writer for use with the Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (recommended)

• Bootable tape backup device for use with Bare Metal Disaster Recovery (optional)

Supported platforms

Yosemite Backup is supported and has been tested with many different versions of Windows, NetWare, Linux and UNIX operating systems. For a current list of supported platforms, visit www.yosemitetech.com.

2 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

NOTE: We always recommend that you install the latest service packs and updates for your operating

system.

Installing a service pack

Yosemite Backup is updated regularly. To ensure optimum performance and communication when you update your installation to a newer service pack, install the same service pack on every machine that is part of a Yosemite Backup management domain.

Before You Install Yosemite Backup

Even though Yosemite Backup is easy to install, you must first make some important decisions about how to implement Yosemite Backup. Before you install Yosemite Backup, resolve the following issues.

Yosemite Backup management domain

When you install Yosemite Backup, you will define a Yosemite Backup management domain. Each Yosemite Backup management domain includes one storage management server, a computer that contains the Yosemite Backup catalog. Each Yosemite Backup management domain may also include other computers, including other PC desktops or servers. Since Yosemite Backup is scalable, you can easily upgrade your license whenever you need to expand the Yosemite Backup management domain.

To define the Yosemite Backup management domain, identify:

• The name of the new Yosemite Backup management domain (if creating a new Yosemite Backup

management domain).

• The computer that will be the storage management server.

• The PC desktops or servers that will belong to the Yosemite Backup management domain.

For more information about creating and managing Yosemite Backup management domains, refer to the User’s Guide and Technical Reference.

Yosemite Backup Service

The Yosemite Backup service lets you schedule jobs to run automatically, whether or not an operator is present. When installed, the Yosemite Backup service automatically loads at system startup. It runs in the background without the user interface. At any time, you can start Yosemite Backup. Later, when you close Yosemite Backup, the Yosemite Backup service continues to run in the background.

If the system loses power, the Yosemite Backup service automatically restarts following system restart. Therefore, your backup jobs still run as scheduled.

You must install either Yosemite Backup or the Yosemite Backup service on each computer that will be included in an automatic backup schedule.

NOTE: Yosemite Backup service is only available as a service on Windows and X Window (as a daemon) (Linux/UNIX) platforms. The Yosemite Backup Agent is available for NetWare systems.

For information on configuring and using the Yosemite Backup service, refer to the User's Guide and Technical Reference.

Chapter 1 - Installation Overview 3

Yosemite Backup License

When fully implemented, Yosemite Backup can work with any network configuration of Windows, NetWare , UNIX and Linux machines with no limit of PC desktops, servers or backup devices. However, depending on the edition or license that you purchased, the number of servers and the network platform in a storage management domain may be limited. You can purchase licenses for a single PC desktop, a single server or an unlimited number of servers. Likewise, your license determines whether Yosemite Backup runs only on a Windows, NetWare, UNIX or Linux network or on a mixed network.

If you purchased a single server license, you can set up one storage management server in that Yosemite Backup management domain. To add access to multiple servers in a single Yosemite Backup management domain, you can purchase an upgrade to your license.

If you purchased a license to install on only one network platform, you cannot install on other network platforms. To install on another network platform, you can purchase an upgrade to your license.

To create additional catalogs, you must purchase additional licenses. You can only create one catalog for each license.

Backup Devices

Yosemite Backup supports a wide variety of tape devices, optical devices, storage media and libraries on the market today. Because of the device driver design, you can add support for most new devices and libraries by simply adding a few parameters in the Yosemite Backup configuration file. You can access updated configuration files from our website (www.yosemitetech.com).

Yosemite Backup automatically detects and recognizes any backup devices or libraries attached to your server or PC desktop. If your machine recognizes it as a valid device, then the device automatically appears in the catalog.

If the device does not appear, make sure your machine or network recognizes the device. Refer to the device documentation for more information.

Yosemite Backup also supports backups to virtual devices called D2D libraries. For information on setting up a D2D library, refer to the User’s Guide and Technical Reference.

Installing Yosemite Backup

First, install all of your backup devices according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Second, install Yosemite Backup on the PC desktop or server that will contain the catalog. This creates a Yosemite Backup management domain and identifies the directory in which the Yosemite Backup catalog has been installed. Yosemite Backup uses this information to configure other machines that belong in this Yosemite Backup management domain.

For Windows operating systems, refer to Chapter 2 - Windows Operating Systems. For NetWare, Linux or UNIX operating systems, refer to Chapter 3 - Non-Windows Operating Systems.

Third, install Yosemite Backup on the other PC desktops or servers in the Yosemite Backup management domain. When the Yosemite Backup installer displays available servers and Yosemite Backup management domains, select the server or Yosemite Backup management domain to join.

NOTE: When you update Yosemite Backup by installing a service pack, always install it on every machine included in the Yosemite Backup management domain.

4 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

If you have any installation problems, refer to Appendix A – Troubleshooting Guide. You can also refer to General Installation Notes and the installation notes for your platform in Chapter 4 - Installation Notes.

Upgrading Yosemite Backup

Before you install Yosemite Backup in place of a pre-existing installation of Yosemite software, consider the following:

• You must upgrade to the same version of Yosemite Backup on every machine in the Yosemite

Backup management domain in order to avoid incompatibilities between older and newer versions of the software.

• Decide whether to install in place of a pre-existing Yosemite installation or to install alongside the

pre-existing software.

Upgrading to a new version of Yosemite Backup will remove the older software and all related data. Make a full backup of your critical data for future use before you upgrade to Yosemite Backup.

Installing Yosemite Backup alongside a pre-existing installation of any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup means that you will have two versions of our software running on the machine simultaneously. Conflicts might arise if the old and new versions of the software are both running as a service. Stop any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup service on the Yosemite Backup backup server before you start the installation process.

WARNING: If you use the Upgrade command to convert any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup storage management database immediately, any active previous versions of the Yosemite Backup database will no longer be available. If you use the Install command to install Yosemite Backup alongside any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup, you will not be able to convert the contents of any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup database into the newer Yosemite Backup catalog. Instead, you must import the contents of media with Import Media jobs.

Migrating data to the Yosemite Backup catalog

When you upgrade to Yosemite Backup, information in the older database about any file objects that were backed up with any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup is converted into records in the Yosemite Backup catalog. The types of objects that are converted and appended to the Yosemite Backup catalog include word processing files, database instances like Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, and Oracle, and other data files. System state information, settings for backup, restore or verify jobs, and user information is not converted.

You may upgrade an older database to the new catalog in either of the following ways:

• Use the Upgrade command from the Yosemite Backup installer

• Import media created in Yosemite Backup into the new Yosemite Backup catalog

Each upgrade choice presents specific advantages. Use the Upgrade command to convert the database and you can manage all legacy backups performed in any previous versions of the Yosemite Backup immediately. Use Import Media jobs later to include information on media created in any previous

Chapter 1 - Installation Overview 5

versions of the Yosemite Backup and you can limit the amount of legacy backup data to be managed in Yosemite Backup.

Chapter 2 - Windows Operating Systems

Yosemite Backup supports many versions of Windows. (Visit www.yosemitetech.com for a current list of supported operating systems). A graphical user interface makes it easy to install and administer Yosemite Backup.

General Installation Notes

Device Buffer Sizes

To maintain optimal performance, Yosemite Backup sets a default buffer size that is allocated evenly between each device attached to your computer. For example, if two devices are attached to your computer, the buffer size is 32MB and the available free memory is 32MB or more, Yosemite Backup allocates 16MB to each device.

The default (recommended) device buffer size is 25% of physical memory. If this amount is 32MB or more, Yosemite Backup sets the buffer size to 32MB. If the 25% is not exactly equal to 16MB, 8MB, 4MB, 2MB or 1MB, Yosemite Backup sets the buffer size to the next lower setting.

For example, if 96MB is installed, 25% is 24MB. As a result, Yosemite Backup sets the buffer size to the next lowest setting (16MB).

Setting this value higher can enhance performance, especially if more than two devices are attached to your system. Yosemite Backup can buffer more data in memory by reading larger amounts of data from the disk at a time. However, do not set the buffer size to exceed available system memory or your performance will decrease due to excessive disk operations.

To change the device buffer size

1. Start Yosemite Backup and open the Device view.

2. Select the device whose buffer size you want to change.

3. Open the Configuration property page and select a new buffer size in the I/O buffer size field.

Buffer sizes can be set between 512 KB and 256 MB.

4. You can also change the default block size.

Block sizes can be set between 512 bytes and 64 KB.

5. Click Apply or OK to save your changes.

24 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

Multiple SCSI Buses with Libraries

If your library and its devices are connected to different SCSI buses, the device driver may become confused as to which device is contained within the library. If the library and its devices use either the SCSI-2 serial number or the new SCSI-3 identifier protocol, all devices will be correctly identified. However, if the library supports neither the SCSI-2 serial number nor the SCSI-3 identifier protocol, you must connect the library and its devices to the same SCSI bus. You can also configure the drivers manually as follows:

1. Log in to Yosemite Backup.

2. From the Device view, select the library.

3. Open the Configuration property page.

4. Update device information as required.

5. To enable or disable a device driver, select the Driver Control page for the library.

6. Save your changes.

7. Restart Yosemite Backup.

8. Access the Device page again to verify the name of the library and its devices.

NetWare Installation Notes

Running Yosemite Backup for NetWare for the First Time

When you run Yosemite Backup the first time after installing Yosemite Backup on a NetWare Server, NetWare asks you to enter the NetWare Directory Services (NDS) login user name and password for the administrator. You must enter this password before you can log in to Yosemite Backup.

The default NDS information provided by Yosemite Backup may not be correct for your NDS installation. If the NDS login displays something like:

cn=admin.ou=organizationalunit.o=organization

Try changing the path to:

cn=admin.o=organization

After you successfully log on to NDS, the normal Yosemite Backup display login screen appears.

NOTE: You are only asked to enter the NDS login password once. After you enter the password, the normal Yosemite Backup login screen always appears.

Users with Adaptec Controllers Must Install the Latest Drivers

Some NetWare users with Adaptec controllers may be using outdated drivers, which will affect Yosemite Backup operation. Therefore, if you have an Adaptec controller, please update your drivers before installing Yosemite Backup.

Using NWASPI.CDM

NWASPI.CDM is a NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NWPA) driver written as a Custom Device Module (CDM). It allows applications that access devices with the ASPI interface to do the same on a NetWare server.

Chapter 4 - Installation Notes 25

You must load NWASPI.CDM for both SCSI and fibre channel devices. Refer to the appropriate section below to configure NWASPI.CDM for single or multiple LUNs.

Single LUN Devices

For Yosemite Backup to “see” your single LUN devices, you must load NWASPI.CDM. However, single LUN devices do not require any LUN support.

1. Add the following line to the STARTUP.NCF file:

load NWASPI.CDM

NOTE: Add this line above all HAM drivers in the STARTUP.NCF file. Otherwise, NetWare will not load the HAM drivers.

2. Restart the NetWare server and load Yosemite Backup.

3. Access the Device page to verify that the device appears.

Multiple LUN Devices

WARNING: The command and procedures to enable multiple LUNs on SCSI adapters vary. Always

consult the manufacturer's documentation for the correct command for your device. The following example serves as a guide to illustrate the process.

For Yosemite Backup to “see” your multiple LUN devices, you must load NWASPI.CDM and enable LUN support for the device.

1. Add the correct line for your device to the STARTUP.NCF file. For example:

load NWASPI.CDM /LUN

NOTE: This line should be added above all HAM drivers in the STARTUP.NCF file. Otherwise, NetWare will not load the HAM drivers.

2. If a similar line already exists, make sure it includes the /LUN option if appropriate for your device.

3. Locate the HAM driver for your device in the STARTUP.NCF file. For example, the following line appears for an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card:

load ADPT160M.HAM

4. Add lun_enable=ff to the end of driver line. For example, to enable LUN support for an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card, the new line would be:

load ADPT160M.HAM lun_enable=ff

Consult your manufacturer's documentation for the correct statement.

5. Restart the NetWare server and load Yosemite Backup.

6. Access the Device view to verify that the device appears.

26 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

Linux/UNIX Installation Notes

Copying the Yosemite Backup Installer to a Local Disk

If you copied the installation files from the Yosemite Backup CD-ROM and the installation failed, you must change the executable attribute on the install and ytunxins files.

NOTE: In the following sections, <os> represents the operating system directory on the Yosemite Backup CD-ROM, for example, /lin (Linux).

1. Enter the following from the command prompt:

chmod +x <os>/install chmod +x <os>/ytunxins

2. Then try the install again.

Graphical User Interface

The graphical user interface of Yosemite Backup has the look and feel of the KDE desktop. However, it does not require that you install KDE or GNOME. You can run Yosemite Backup from any window manager.

Yosemite Backup Icon for the X Window Desktop

Many users choose to put a Yosemite Backup icon on the desktop so they can start Yosemite Backup with a single click. To do so, select a custom installation and select Create Backup Desktop Shortcut.

Linux Installation Notes

SCSI Libraries may not be detected

By default, most Linux kernels do not enable LUN support. To support libraries, you must enable LUN support and recompile your Linux kernel. Once enabled, you must update the configuration file to force the kernel to scan multiple LUNs.

To update the configuration file and verify the configuration (LILO)

1. Add the following line to the end of each boot selection section in the /etc/lilo.conf file:

append=“max_scsi_luns=2”

NOTE: Set max_scsi_luns to the value required by your library. In most cases, this value is 2.

2. Update your system configuration, using the following command:

lilo

3. Save the file and reboot your system.

4. Verify that the change has been implemented, using the following command:

cat /proc/cmdline

Chapter 4 - Installation Notes 27

5. If max_scsi_luns=2 does not appear, you did not update the configuration file correctly. Start over with step 1 above.

6. Verify that your system detects the library, using the following command:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

To update the configuration file and verify the configuration (GRUB)

1. Locate the grub.conf file. This file may also be called menu.lst. Possible locations include /boot/grub and /etc.

2. Add the following text to the end of each kernel image line in the grub.conf file:

max_scsi_luns=2

Each kernel image line will read similar to the following:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.2.6-2 ro root=/dev/hda3 max_scsi_luns=2

3. Save the file and reboot your system.

4. Verify that the change has been implemented, using the following command:

cat /proc/cmdline

5. If max_scsi_luns=2 does not appear, you did not update the configuration file correctly. Start over with step 1 above.

6. Verify that your system detects the library, using the following command:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

IDE/ATAPI Support

Yosemite Backup supports the use of IDE/ATAPI tape devices. If your Linux distribution compiled the ide-tape.o module into the kernel, update the configuration file and verify the configuration to access these devices.

NOTE: When Yosemite Backup runs, it loads the ide-scsi module. This may cause the ide-cdrom module to fail to load, which may affect CD operation. To work around this problem, mount the CD as a SCSI device, even though it is an IDE device.

To update the configuration file and verify the configuration (LILO)

1. Add the following line to the end of each boot selection section in the /etc/lilo.conf file:

Master on primary IDE append=“hda=ide-scsi” Slave on primary IDE append=“hdb=ide-scsi” Master on secondary IDE append=“hdc=ide-scsi” Slave on secondary IDE append=“hdd=ide-scsi”

2. Update your system configuration, using the following command:

lilo

3. Save the file and reboot your system.

4. Verify that the change has been implemented, using the following command:

cat /proc/cmdline

28 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

5. If hda=ide-scsi (or similar) does not appear, you did not update the configuration file correctly. Start over with step 1 above.

6. Verify that your system detects the tape device, using the following command:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

To update the configuration file and verify the configuration (GRUB)

1. Locate the grub.conf file. This file may also be called menu.lst. Possible locations include /boot/grub and /etc.

2. Add the appropriate text from the following to the end of each kernel image line in the grub.conf file:

Master on primary IDE hda=ide-scsi Slave on primary IDE hdb=ide-scsi Master on secondary IDE hdc=ide-scsi Slave on secondary IDE hdd=ide-scsi

Each kernel image line will read similar to the following:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.2.6-2 ro root=/dev/hda3 hda=ide-scsi

3. Save the file and reboot your system.

4. Verify that the change has been implemented, using the following command:

cat /proc/cmdline

5. If hda=ide-scsi (or similar) does not appear, you did not update the configuration file correctly. Start over with step 1 above.

6. Verify that your system detects the tape device, using the following command:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Libraries missing from Linux distribution

Problem: I cannot launch the X Window version of Yosemite Backup. It gives me the following message:

error while loading shared libraries libstdc++.so.5

Cause: Either the libstdc++ library is missing from your version of Linux distribution or the wrong version of the library is installed.

Solution: Install the missing library.

1. Identify the required version of the library:

a. Navigate to the Yosemite Backup directory in a terminal window. The default directory is .

b. Type ldd YTadmin.bin from the command prompt and press Enter. A list of libraries required

for Yosemite Backup appears.

The name of the missing libstdc++ library will be similar to libstdc++.so.5.

2. Contact your Linux distributor for the missing library.

NOTE: If you are using RedHat Linux EL 4, you can use an RPM package called "compatlibstdc++.rpm" to install the necessary library.

3. Install the library according to the documentation provided by your distributor.

Chapter 4 - Installation Notes 29

4. Try to launch the X Window version of Yosemite Backup. It should work properly.

Recognizing LUNs

Some Linux systems do not immediately recognize all LUNs for a library.

To verify that all LUNs are recognized

1. Enter the following command

“cat /proc/scsi/scsi”

2. If a LUN does not appear, force the system to recognize it with the following command:

echo “scsi add-single-device w x y z” > /proc/scsi/scsi

Where the parameters are as follows:

• w is the host adapter ID where the first adapter is zero (0)

• x is the SCSI channel of the host adapter, where the first channel is zero (0)

• y is the SCSI ID of the device

• z is the LUN number of the missing LUN, where the first LUN is zero (0)

3. Once the device has been detected properly, stop and restart Yosemite Backup and the Yosemite Backup service if it is running.

Appendix A - Troubleshooting Guide

Troubleshooting Installation

I selected ‘Join existing Yosemite Backup management domain’ during installation, but the domain is not displayed in the product.

First, make sure the designated storage server is running. Also, make sure that the necessary networking software is installed and operating properly. You can verify this by using the Catalog view. Open the Network folder on that page and select the machine you intended to be the Yosemite Backup management domain. If that machine has been configured for network operation, you will see a driver named Xpt-... in the detail area of the page (on the right side). If you don’t see that driver, you must reinstall Yosemite Backup on the storage server in order to add networking support.

Second, if you are running TCP/IP, Yosemite Backup will only display servers on your local subnet. If you are not on the same subnet as the storage server, you must specifically add the storage server’s host address or host name during installation.

When I try to log on to NDS, Yosemite Backup keeps asking for the password.

When you run Yosemite Backup the first time after installing Yosemite Backup on a NetWare Server, NetWare asks you to enter the NetWare Directory Services (NDS) login password for the administrator. Refer to Running Yosemite Backup for NetWare for the First Time for details.

I can’t log on to Yosemite Backup.

If this is a new Yosemite Backup installation, try to log on as the ADMIN user, which is automatically created during installation. Initially, there is no password for the ADMIN user.

If the message Error 25 — Service not available appears, you may not have installed Yosemite Backup correctly. Yosemite Backup requires a Yosemite Backup management domain to be active in order for you to log on. During installation, make sure you select Create a new Yosemite Backup management domain on one of the machines you are installing. Then start Yosemite Backup on that machine before installing it on other machines.

I am using TCP/IP, but it cannot see other servers.

Under some conditions, the TCP/IP driver will not be able to display other storage management domains on the TCP/IP network. Make sure you entered a valid TCP/IP default gateway, or specify the server address in the Yosemite Backup host address dialog box during installation.

32 Yosemite Backup Installation Guide

Troubleshooting Backup Devices

I can’t see my tape drive on the Device property page.

Yosemite Backup automatically recognizes any backup device attached to your server or PC desktop. If the device does not appear, first try the following:

All devices and platforms

Use the manufacturer instructions to verify that you installed the device correctly.

• Refer to General Installation Notes for information about some platform-specific issues.

SCSI devices

• Make sure the most current SCSI drivers are installed.

• Make sure there are no SCSI ID conflicts.

• On Linux and UNIX systems, remove and reload the SCSI drivers.

IDE devices

1. Make sure the hardware jumpers are correctly set on the device. That is, set it to Master instead of Slave.

2. If the devices are correctly installed, make sure your system recognizes them. For example, on Windows platforms, you can use Windows Explorer or the Device Manager; on Linux platforms, you can use the cat /proc/scsi/scsi command.

3. Check to see if any device drivers failed when loading Yosemite Backup. Access the Messages screen: on Windows and X Window systems, select the Messages option on the Tools menu; on NetWare, UNIX and Linux systems, press Ctrl-F8. See Restarting Failed Devices in Chapter 10 — Managing Devices and Media in the User’s Guide and Technical Reference for additional information on reinitializing failed devices.

4. Check for other errors or messages in the yttrace.txt file. This file is located in your Yosemite Backup directory.

5. If your device is listed as Dev-Unrecognized device..., you are using a backup device that is not yet supported by Yosemite Backup. Contact our technical support department at Support@yosemitetech.com or visit us online at www.yosemitetech.com to see if your device is now supported.

My SCSI library is not active on the Device or Catalog views.

Check the Device view. If the library has an exclamation point icon (Windows or X Window) or if it is grayed out (other platforms), the library may be initializing. The Diagnostics property page for the library will display the loader status or error. If it is initializing, wait a minute and then refresh the device list.

Yosemite Backup does not recognize my SCSI library. The tape device is displayed, but not the library.

1. Make sure that no other backup programs are installed. Other backup programs often install drivers that are incompatible with Yosemite Backup.

Appendix A - Troubleshooting Guide 33

2. Check the following (Windows NT (or later)): Disable the library drivers in the Device Manager screen. Sometimes these drivers conflict with the Yosemite Backup drivers.

NetWare

1. Make sure NWASPI.CDM is loaded (see Using NWASPI.CDM). If this does not work, remove the NWTAPE.CDM command from the STARTUP.NCF file.

2. Remove the NWTAPE.CDM command from the STARTUP.NCF file.

3. Run YTSCSI.NLM from the command line to force a scan of all SCSI devices. If this works, you should add this command to the STARTUP.NCF file.

Linux

Refer to SCSI Libraries may not be detected.
