CA BrightStor 11.5 under linux (Arcserve R11.5)

I have tonight install CA Brightstor 11.5, on my Linux servers. I am running Debian so it’s pretty easy; we just need these two files:

/cdrom/cmagent/babcmagt.deb
/cdrom/babagent/babagtux.deb

So it’s just: dpkg –i /cdrom/cmagent/babcmagt.deb
dpkg –i /cdrom/cmagent/babagtux.deb

Then we need to setup the 2 files:
/opt/CA/BABuagent/uagentsetup
/opt/CA/BABcmagt/caagentsetup

Then wee need the agent to start automatic
cd /etc/init.d/
ln –s /opt/CA/BABcmagt/caagent .

Then wee to change something in BABcmagt config fil:
/opt/CA/BABcmagt/agent.cfg
ENV LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.18
This should be: #ENV LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.18
update-rc.d caagent defaults
caagent disable all
caagent enable all

If you forget to change this line you get some error about:

If you are using Ubuntu, please do this also:

If you want to install on Ubuntu (which uses dash as /bin/sh), you need to go through some additional steps.

Download and install getlibs

Right after you dpkg -i the 2 .deb’s, you need to change /bin/sh to /bin/bash in all files in /opt/CA. Then you can proceed as directed above, and all is good.

Thanks to Craig Andrews and Clark Burns, for this Ubuntu trick.
