Install Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux)

Install Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) on a Linux server to manage backup and restore operations. After you install Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux), you can open the user interface from any computer using a web browser and the server is referred as Backup Server.

At the beginning of installation, the installation script verifies if some of the mandatory applications are installed on the Linux server and the applications are running.

The following mandatory applications are required for the installation file to work:

• sshd (SSH Daemon)
• Perl

The installation file also verifies the following optional applications at the beginning of the installation:

• rpc.statd - This application is used by the NFS server to implement the file lock.
• mkisofs - Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) uses this application to create a Live CD.
• mount.nfs - Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) uses this application to mount the NFS server.
• mount.cifs - Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) uses this application to mount the CIFS server.
• ether-wake - Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) uses this application to send the wake-on-lan request.

Notes:

• Ensure that the Linux server has minimum 2 GB memory. For more information about the system requirements for a Linux server, see the Arcserve UDP Release Notes v6.5.
• Use sudo to install Linux Server on Microsoft Azure.
• For Debian/Ubuntu system, the root is not permitted to log into ssh by default. To grant non-root user the permission to log into Linux Backup  server UI, see Grant Login Permissions to non-root user.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Linux server as a root user.
2. Download the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) installation package (*.bin file) to the root folder.

   Important! When you download the installation package file to a local folder, the full path of this local folder must not contain any special characters except blank spaces and the path should only include the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - and _.

3. Provide the execution permission to the installation package.
4. Run the following command to start installation:
5. ./<linux_installation_file_name>.bin
6. The installation package verifies the supported platform and displays a confirmation message.
7. If a non-supported platform is detected, type Y and press Enter to confirm the non-supported platform installation.

Notes:

• If a non-English operating system is detected, you are prompted to select the applicable language before continuing with the installation process.
• To support Korean language when you upgrade a build, perform the following steps:
1. Modify the following configuration file in the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) server: /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/nls/nls.cfg
2. set D2D_LANG= ko_KR.
3. Restart the d2dserver using the following command: #/opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/bin/d2dserver restart.

5. Type Y and press Enter to confirm the installation.

   The installation package displays the licensing agreement information.

6. Type Y and press Enter to accept the licensing agreement.

   The Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) installation process begins.

   When the restore-utility package installation is complete, the Live CD build information is displayed.

   /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/packages

   Note: Live CD is required to get the IP address of the target node when you perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR).

   Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is installed and the URL to browse the Linux Backup Server is displayed.

   Note: Ensure that the following incoming ports are enabled on your firewall for the Backup Server:

   • TCP port 22 (SSH Server)
   • Broadcast port 67 (Boot Server)
   • 8014 (Agent Web Service)
   • User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 69 (TFTP Server)
   • 8016 (Instant BMR service)
   • 8021 (Backup service)
7. Ensure that the following incoming port is enabled on your firewall for the client nodes that you want to back up:
• TCP port 22 (SSH Server)
8. Ensure that the required outgoing port for NFS, CIFS, or both backup destinations are enabled on your firewall for the Linux Backup Server and BMR target nodes.
9. Note: For details about ports, view Communication Ports Used by Arcserve UDP.
7. (Optional) To install Linux backup server to a VM on Amazon EC2 or Azure, perform the following steps to create a D2D user:
8. Note: When the server starts, a message prompt asks you to create a D2D user that is used to log in at Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) web UI.
