Use this preinstallation checklist to prepare the computer where you will install the Documentum Agent and to gather all the information that you will need during the installation.
Verify System Requirements
Verify that the computer where you will install the Documentum Agent satisfies the minimum requirements. For more information, see System Requirements - Documentum Agent.
Verify License Requirements
Based on the licensing mechanism used in your CommCell environment, verify that the CommCell has the required licenses to use the Documentum Agent. For more information, see License Requirements - Documentum Agent.
Determine the Installation Location
Based on your environment, install the Documentum Agent on the appropriate computer.
|
Environment |
Where to install the software |
|---|---|
|
Non-clustered |
On the computer on which the Documentum Repository resides with the Oracle or the DB2 databases |
|
Clustered |
On the physical nodes of the cluster where the Documentum Repository resides with the Oracle or the DB2 databases |
Review Installation Scenarios
Verify that the Documentum Content Server and the database application (for example, Oracle, DB2, or SQL) are installed on the same computer or on separate computers. Note the following:
-
If 32-bit Documentum Content Server and 32-bit database application are installed on the same computer, the setup is known as Single Server Setup. Similarly, a 64-bit Documentum Content Server and 64-bit database application installed on the same computer is also known as Single Server Setup.
-
If 32-bit Documentum Content Server and 32-bit or 64-bit database application are installed on different computers, the setup is known as Distributed Server Setup.
Note
You must restart the Oracle database application after installing the Documentum Agent on Oracle database.
Prepare 64-bit Computers for 32-bit Agent Installations
You can install a 32-bit Documentum Content Server and a 32-bit database application (for example, Oracle, DB2, or SQL) on a 64-bit Windows operating system. For more information, see Enabling 32-Bit Installations on 64-Bit Windows Computers.
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 Documentum 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
Install the Documentum package, which is under the Database category.
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.
