If a UNIX computer is in an environment that uses PowerBrokerTM servers for root access control, you must configure a few settings before you install the Commvault software on the UNIX computer.
Procedure
Use the following steps to enable installations from the CommCell Console (remote installations) for computers in a PowerBroker environment.
Step 1: Verify permissions for the PowerBroker profile.
The PowerBroker profile must have the following permissions:
-
Permission to run any command from the following locations:
-
/tmp directory
-
Commvault installation directory
-
-
Permission to execute the following command:
chmod a+x /tmp/cvpkgseed
Step 2: Configure an additional setting on the CommServe computer.
Configure the sCmdToExecForNonRootUsers additional setting to enable remote installations for non-root users.
-
Log on to the CommCell Console.
-
From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe node and click Properties.
-
In the CommCell Properties dialog box, on the Additional Settings tab, click Add.
-
In the Add Additional Settings on Windows Client dialog box, complete the following steps:
-
In the Name box, type sCmdToExecForNonRootUsers.
The Category and Type details fill automatically.
-
In the Value box, specify the full path for the pbrun command. For example:
/usr/local/bin/pbrun -u root
-
Click OK.
-
-
Click OK to close the properties dialog box.
You can now perform remote installations on UNIX computers.
