Manual Number: 0-NWSM-CDINST-01 Welcome to the Palindrome Software Evaluation: Thank you for taking time to evaluate Palindrome Storage Manager 4.0 the first integrated backup, restore and capacity management software for any size LAN. This Evaluation includes valuable tools and software for evaluating and demonstrating Palindrome Storage Manager 4.0 NetWare Edition. The following files are required for this evaluation: PSM4DSK1.ZIP PSM4DSK2.ZIP PSM4DSK3.ZIP PSM4DSK4.ZIP PSMPREP1.ZIP PSMPREP2.ZIP Before You Start: To install Palindrome Storage Manager evaluation software, you must have a valid serial number. Call one of the following Palindrome offices to obtain a valid serial number.

Crows Nest, NSW 2065, Australia 61 2 956 3878 Palindrome Deutschland Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Str. 34 47877 Willich Germany +49 2154916350 Install the Hardware: Before installing the software, install a supported backup device, host adapter, and driver software appropriate for your type of machine. Also, be sure to install a termination block on the last device in your SCSI bus. For a list of certified backup devices and host adapters, see the README.TXT file in PSM4DSK1.ZIP. Workstation/Server Requirements - Workstations (at a minimum) must be able to run Windows 3.1 or 3.11 in enhanced mode (at least a 386SX or greater with 4 Mb RAM). - Palindrome recommends a 486-based PC with 8 Mb of RAM. - Color monitor is recommended but not required. - The latest versions of NetWare's IPX (or IPXODI) and NETX or NetWare DOS Requestor (VLM). VLMs are required to access Backup Director installations on NetWare 4.x servers. - At least 8 Mb of disk space for the Windows executables and DLLs and 3 Mb disk space on your SYS: volume for NLMs. - Server memory should have at least 3 Mb of available memory and 1 Mb of memory for each process (backup, restore, and/or utility) you want to run. Thus, to run one process at a time you need 4 Mb of RAM; to run three processes concurrently, you need 6 Mb of RAM. Determine where to install the software: You can install Storage Manager on any NetWare 3.11, 3.12, 4.02, or 4.1 server. To ensure your servers are running the most recent NetWare modules and backup agents (called Target Service Agents or TSAs) are copied to your server, you must run SETUP.NLM on each server you are backing up. SETUP.NLM automatically copies Palindrome NCF files, updated TSAs, and NetWare modules to each server you are backing up. You should run SETUP.NLM on all servers that you want to back up prior to installing Storage Manager software. Create Server Preparation Diskettes: Before running SETUP.NLM, you must copy the contents of the PREP1.ZIP and PREP2.ZIP onto two blank formatted floppy disks and then run SETUP.NLM from the diskette at your server. The directory structure stored in the zip file must be preserved. Example: PKUNZIP PSMPREP1.ZIP A: -D Run SETUP.NLM Insert the first diskette (that you created in the previous steps) into the local drive of your server. At the server console, type: LOAD A:SETUP (where A: is the drive your diskette is in.) If necessary, down the server(s) to ensure any modules that were updated are loaded on the server(s). If you do not need to down the server, run PALSTART.NCF on the server(s). At the server console prompt type: PALSTART PALSTART.NCF contains statements to automatically load required files such as your device driver, Palindrome NLMs, and Target Service Agents. SETUP.NLM copies PALSTART.NCF to the SYS:\SYSTEM directory of each server that you run SETUP.NLM on. Create the Auto Login User: To access servers and the Storage Manager job queue, Storage Manager relies on an auto login user (a user you define or that is already defined on the network). Using a single auto login user to attach to remote servers provides maximum security for backup and restore operations. Auto Login User Requirements: During installation of the software, you will be prompted to specify a single auto login user (either as a Bindery user or as an NDS user) that is stored in the Storage Manager System Control Database. If the auto login user doesn't exist on those servers (or in the NDS tree), the program prompts you to specify a user and password to access those resources when you attempt to configure the resources for backup operations. During installation of the software the user installing the software displays as the auto login user name. You can use this user or any other existing user that has supervisor-equivalent rights to each server you want to back up. Rights: In NetWare 3.x environments, the auto login user must exist on every server and have supervisor-equivalent rights. In NetWare 4.x environments, the user only needs to exist once in the tree and should have supervisor object rights to each server object you want to back up and to the container that the installation server is in.<$&AUTO[v]> *Do not limit concurrent connections for the auto login user. Install the Software: Load PALLOADR on the installation server PALLOADR.NLM allows Storage Manager to automatically load other Palindrome NLMs while running the install program from a Windows workstation. PALLOADR is copied to your installation server when you run SETUP.NLM. If you have already loaded PALSTART.NCF, PALLOADR should already be loaded and you can skip this step. From the server console prompt of your installation server, type: LOAD PALLOADR Log in to the network as a supervisor-equivalent user (must have rights to create directories and users). In a 4.x environment, the user installing the software must have write rights to all properties of the root object and supervisor object rights to the container the installation server is in. Be sure you have a drive mapped to the volume where you will install Storage Manager. Create Workstation Installation Diskettes: The client portion of Storage Manager 4.0 can be installed from floppy disks or by unziping PSM4DSK1, PSM4DSK2, PSM4DSK3 and PSM4DKS4 to a common directory. At a workstation, run Windows. Open the File menu and select Run. In the command line text box, type: A:SETUP.EXE (where A: is the drive where the Evaluation software is located). Follow the instructions on screen. NOTE: If you are currently using Palindrome software, do not upgrade your installation with the evaluation version of the software. Choose a directory other than your current installation directory when prompted. At the end of the installation program, you will be asked whether or not to add the installation server to the Protected Resource List. Choose OK. To run your first backup immediately, choose YES when prompted.
