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 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.
Commvault Package to Install
-
For installations using the CommCell Console, install the SAP for Oracle package, which is under the Database category.
-
For installations using the installation package, install the SAP for Oracle package.
Note
The File System Core package and the File System package are automatically installed with the package that you selected. The File System Agent is not displayed in the CommCell Console and does not consume any licenses.
To configure the File System Agent on your client, right-click the client computer, point to All Tasks, and then click Create File System Agent. The File System Agent will consume a license, and you can back up the file system content on your client computer.
To gather the required information for the File System Agent, refer to the Gather Installation Data section in the Preinstallation Checklist for the Windows 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.
Restart the SAP for Oracle Services
After the installation, you must restart Oracle services.
-
For installations using the CommCell Console, select the Restart Oracle/DB2 Service (if applicable. Oracle DB2 instance needs to be restarted to load Commvault media library for Data Protection) option.
-
For installations using the installation package, select the Process Manager option.
