Pre-installation checklist

• All Solaris packages from Zmanda Network are compressed using GNU zip (gzip). The gzip package is available from Zmanda Network.

• Check if SSH (secure shell) software is installed: the Amanda Solaris Client 10 requires Solaris package SUNWsshcu to be installed on the client machine. The SUNWsshcu Solaris package is available from your Solaris distribution.

• Install GNU tar from the Zmanda network downloads page. Solaris CSWgtar version 1.15.1 is required for Amanda client installation.

• Install any optional packages from Zmanda network downloads pages. - CSWgnupg (if GPG data encryption is required on the Amanda client), CSWstar (if Schily tar will be used as backup program on the Amanda client).

• To use Amanda SSH transport authentication, SUNWsshdr, SUNWsshdu, SUNWsshr and SUNWsshu from the Solaris distribution are required.

• Clients being restored to must also have the SUNWsshcu package installed. In addition, the following entry must be added to the $HOME/.ssh/environment configuration file:

PATH="/opt/csw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin"

• Download the Amanda Enterprise Edition 3.0 Solaris client package from the Zmanda network downloads page.
• Save or copy the Solaris package to the Amanda client machine, for example, to the /tmp directory.

# gunzip AmandaEnterpriseBackupClient-3.0-SunOS5.10-sparc.pkg.gz
