Step 1:
Install rsh-Server (rexec)

Step 2:
Install Telnet Server

Step 3:
On the Linux client machine, insert the Omniback CD (HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 5.5 for HP-UX 11.23 IA-64 installation server) and mount it.

Open a Root Console:

Then create the following directories:
# mkdir /usr/omni
# mkdir /tmp/omni_tmp
Step 4:
Get omni_rinst.sh from the utils.tar file and place it in /tmp/omni_tmp
Path: media/cdrom/DP_DEPOT/DP_A0550_UXia64_IS.sd_depot/DATA-PROTECTOR/OMNI-CORE-IS/opt/omni/databases/utils/gpl/i386/linux-60/utils.tar



Step 5:
Copy the CORE packet.Z file to the /tmp/omni_tmp directory
PATH: /media/cdrom/DP_DEPOT/DP_A0550_UXia64_IS.sd_depot/ DATA-PROTECTOR/OMNI-CORE-IS/opt/omni/databases/vendor/omnicf/gpl/i386 /linux-60/A.05.50/packet.Z


Step 6:
In the /tmp/omni_tmp directory run the following command. (This will install the CorePackage)./omni_rinst.sh /tmp/omni_tmp/packet.Z co a.05.50 gpl/i386/linux-60 /usr/omni backup.domain.org
(NOTE: Substitute backup.domain.org with the DNS name of your DP backup server.)
NOTE: If the exact name of the cell manager is not known, go to the cell manager machine and run the following command:
C:\>Program Files\OmniBack\bin\omnidbutil -show_cell_name
You will receive the following message:
Warning: Update of the omni_info file failed for co!
Omniback II software package successfully installed !
This install will delete the packet.Z file when finished.
You should now have a /usr/omni directory

Step 7:
Copy packet.z file for the Disk Agent install.
PATH: /media/cdrom/DP_DEPOT/DP_A0550_UXia64_IS.sd_depot/DATA-PROTECTOR/OMNI-OTHUX-P/opt/omni/databases/vendor/da/gpl/i386/linux-60/A.05.50/packet.Z
Step 8:
In the /tmp/omni_tmp directory run the following command. (This will install the DiskAgent Package)
./omni_rinst.sh /tmp/omni_tmp/packet.Z da a.05.50 gpl/i386/linux-60 /usr/omni backup.domain.org
(Note Substitute backup.domain.org with the DNS name of your DP backup server.)
Again, this erases the packet.Z file and puts files into the /usr/omni directory.
Step 9:
Check that an omni Service file has been created in /etc/xinetd.d/omni
Launch midnight commander (with the command 'mc').


Step 10:
Check that you have an /etc/pam.d/rexec (This should be installed as part of the installation of the rsh-server earlier.

Step 11:
omni_info:- Create a file /usr/omni/bin/install/omni_info
- Put the following information into it:
CORE_VERSION A.05.50
DISK_AGENT_VERSION A.05.50 - (F10) Save it and quit.
- In Midnight Commander I like to copy (F5) an existing file and then edit it.

Step 12:
Edit /etc/services and add the following entry:omni 5555/tcp # Omniback II inet server
You should also comment out any existing services for this port. See Below.

Step 13:
Create an .rhosts file in the /root directory with the following information:
Backup.domain.org root


Step 14:
Make sure you can resolve the server by DNS.
Ping backup.domain.org.
If DNS is not configured you may need to add it to the host file. /etc/hosts
Step 15:
Restart the xinetd service by going to:
YAST —> System —> Run Level Editor —> Expert mode —> Choose xinetd service —> Stop Now:

You should now be able to telnet to the OES server on port 5555.
