Install CA ARCserve Backup UNIX and Linux Data Mover on Linux operating systems

1. Log in to the Linux computer as root.

   Insert the CA ARCserve Backup installation media into the computer's DVD drive.

   Mount the DVD to an available or newly created directory on the computer. For example,

   # mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom
   

2. Browse to the operating system directory on the mounted DVD. For example,

   # cd /mnt/dvdrom/DataMoverandAgent/Linux
   

3. Execute the following script:

   # ./install
   

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
5. When running on the target data mover server, the installation script detects the version of the above file system agents, if any, that exist on that server. If the installation script detects a supported platform, you will be prompted to install the latest versions of the above file system agents.

Note: You must register the data mover server with the primary server to allow the respective servers to communicate. As a best practice, you should register the data mover server with the primary server when prompted by the installation script. Optionally, you can register the data mover server using the regtool utility or Device Configuration from the primary server after you run the installation script on the data mover server.
