Prerequisites for Install

What needs to be existent on 64 Linux systems is a 32bit runtime environment.

On all Unixes and older Linux distributions (even 64bit) 32bit runtime environments are usually existent.

Newer Linux 64bit kernels (2.6.3x) do not have it by default and it needs to be installed.

On redhat like kernels for instance, ask the system:

yum whatprovides /lib/ld-linux.so.2

and install the packages listed (yum install ...).

On Linux backup servers a running inetd or xinetd is needed.

On redhat like kernels for instance, install it using

yum install xinetd

and check if it is running by using

/etc/init.d/xinetd status

Start it if necessary using

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

On Windows backup servers the following pre-requisites shall be met:

Removable Storage Manager shall be disabled

DeviceManager->Tapedrives->Properties->Driver shall be the driver from the tape vendor

DeviceManager->MediumChanger->Properties->Driver shall be Windows generic SCSI driver (published 2006)
