Verify License Requirements
Based on the licensing mechanism used in your CommCell environment, verify that the CommCell has the required licenses to use the Notes Database Agent. For more information, see License Requirements - Notes Database Agent.
Determine the Installation Location
Install the Notes Database Agent on a Domino that you want to back up. The Notes Database Agent cannot be installed on cluster environments.
Gather Installation Data
Refer to the items in this section to gather the information that you will need during the installation. Record the information before you begin installing the software, so you can refer to it during the installation.
You can install the Notes Database Agent using either the CommCell Console or the installation package created by the Download Manager. Any item that applies to only one of these installation methods is noted.

Note
If the File System Agent is not installed on the computer, the File System Core and File System packages are automatically installed with the package that you selected. The File System Agent will not consume any licenses.
Note: To gather the required information for the File System Agent, refer to "Gather Installation Data" in Preinstallation Checklist for the UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh File System Agent.
Client Computer Details
If the File System Agent or another package is already installed on the computer, you are not required to gather all the computer details again. The level of detail depends on how the package you selected is installed, as follows:
-
For installations using the CommCell Console, the installation program requests only the name of the client computer.
-
For installations using the installation package, the installation program reads the details from the previous installation.
Setting a UNIX Group
Ensure that Domino Notes users belong to the specified UNIX group.
