SEPsesam Server readme for Solaris 9 SEP sesam is a data backup solution for heterogeneous environments Requirements: 1. Operating system: - Sun Solaris 9 (sparc) 2. Additionally required software: - libgcc-3.3 - zlib - readline - PostgreSQL 8.0.1 or higher all required software packages may be downloaded from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc9.html. - SUN Java >= 1.4.2 Installation: 1. Log in as user: 'root' 2. Create a user group 'sesam' 3. Create user 'sesam' in the group 'sesam' The 'PATH' environment variable must allow 'sesam' to find the PostgreSQL programs. Since the 'rpath' in some PostgreSQL libraries is not correctly set, the system must also find the 'glibc' library '/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1'. Hence, add '/usr/local/lib' to 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH', or include it in the standard library search path. 4. Unpack the archive into a temporary directory. > cd /tmp > gunzip -c solaris-srv.2.4.X.X.tgz | tar xvf - 5. Re-check the requirements with the following command: > cd sesam_srv_2.4.X.X > ./sm_check_preinst.sh This verifies the following: - User 'root' - User 'sesam' and group 'sesam' - Java version - PostgreSQL installation - 'PATH' of the user 'sesam' Once you are certain that the above requirements have been fulfilled, you can now continue with the installation. 6. Installing Sesam Server > ./sm_setup Answer the questions requested by the setup program. After the installation Sesam will start automatically and complete a self-test. Important information for the hardware configuration - in the tape drive configuration a 'non-rewind' device must be selected, e.g. '/dev/rmt/0hn' - don't use BSD style tape device (no 'b' in device name) - in the event that a tape loading device is to be used by sesam, it must be accessible using the 'sgen' Driver from Solaris. Information on how to create the 'sgen' devices can be found under 'man sgen'. When the driver is configured correctly, you can see the SCSI Ids by executing ''/bin/sesam/slu scan' Start Sesam Server with the following command: /bin/sesam/sm_startup Stop Sesam Server with the following command: /bin/sesam/sm_shutdown During a normal installation Sesam will be included in system startup. The Sesam GUI will start with the following: /bin/gui/sesam_gui Documentation is located at: /bin/gui/html The SEP sesam User and Administration Handbooks can be accessed directly from the sesam GUI. $Id: README.Solaris,v 1.2 2006/01/25 09:57:18 sesam Exp $
