Prerequisites; Before You Begin; Cluster-Aware Clients; Configuring Sybase Users - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Prerequisites

• Ensure that you have correctly installed and configured Sybase Server.
• For supported versions, platforms, devices, and other information, see the HP
Data Protector product announcements, software notes, and references or
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
• For information on the Sybase Server, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise
System Administration Guide and Adaptive Server Enterprise Installation and
Configuration Guide.
Every Sybase instance and its default Sybase Backup Server must be configured
on the same system.
• Ensure that you have correctly installed Data Protector. On how to install the Data
Protector Sybase integration in various architectures, see the HP Data Protector
installation and licensing guide.
Every Sybase Server system you intend to back up from or restore to must have
the Data Protector Sybase Integration component installed.

Before you begin

• Configure devices and media for use with Data Protector.
• To test whether the Sybase Server system and the Cell Manager communicate
properly, configure and run a Data Protector filesystem backup and restore on
the Sybase Server system.

Cluster-aware clients

Configure Sybase instances only on one cluster node, since the configuration files
reside on the Cell Manager.
If you intend to use the Data Protector CLI, set the Data Protector environment variable
OB2BARHOSTNAME to the virtual server name.

Configuring Sybase users

On UNIX, add user root and the Sybase Server administrator (the owner of the
isql utility) to the Data Protector admin or operator user group. For information,
see the online Help index: "adding users".
This chapter assumes that the Sybase Server administrator is user sybase in the
group sybase.
