4.0 Installation

Installation performs the following tasks:

  1. Installs the GroupWise Disaster Recovery System software to the path: /opt/beginfinite/reload.

  2. Creates initialization scripts to start the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Daemon on server bootup.

  3. Creates various GroupWise Disaster Recovery initialization scripts such as "reload, reloadd, reloadm, and reloadj" in the /usr/sbin directory, so that they are available to the Linux administrator "root".

  4. Sets up a default GroupWise Disaster Recovery System configuration.

  5. Starts the GroupWise Disaster Recovery Daemon.

  6. If needed, the installation also installs the GroupWise DBCOPY and GroupWise Agent packages, unless these packages have been installed before, or if the installation determines that other GroupWise agent software is already installed.

  7. If the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server has a connection to the Internet and can browse the web, then the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server will attempt to install a piece of software called Xdialog. The Xdialog is used to view GroupWise Disaster Recovery log files in a graphical user interface. It cannot be bundled with GroupWise Disaster Recovery, because of licensing issues, so GroupWise Disaster Recovery downloads it to the GroupWise Disaster Recovery server if the server has a connection to the Internet. Xdialog is not required.

  8. Installs a GroupWise Disaster Recovery Administration icon to the root user's Xwindows desktop. If you are in an XWindows type session, you should see an icon on the root user's desktop. This icon is compatible with a basic GNOME or KDE installation. The icon is for convenience, and may not work in all Linux desktop environments.
