Using Recorder
This page outlines the steps needed to run Recorder either after Virtual Agents have been created or as part of a full migration.
Examples for running under Linux and Windows is provided below.
Using Recorder in Linux
Step 1
Download the Tranzman Agent. The Agent will be in a TGZ type file. This agent will need to be run on the physical/ real server.
Step 2
Once the file has been copied to the target system, change the permissions to 777 to allow it to be extracted.
|
chmod 777 tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz |
Step 3
Extract files from the TGZ archive using the tar command.
|
tar xvzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz |
Step 4
Modify access to all files extracted in the newly created tzm_recorder folder.
|
chmod 777 tzm_recorder -R |
Step 5
Run tzm_recorder found in the extracted folder.
|
./tzm_recorder |
Step 6
Once all Catalog information has been collected, it will be be saved into a ZIP file.
Step 7
Copy the generated ZIP file to a temporary location, then upload it to relevant Virtual Server on the Tranzman Appliance via the Web-GUI.
Step 8
Once the upload process is complete, resume the relevant Virtual Agent for it to process the Catalog information from the source server.
Using Recorder in Windows
Step 1
Download the Tranzman Agent by clicking on the action button as shown below. This agent will need to be run on the physical/ real server.
Step 2
Copy the generated ZIP file to the target system.
Step 3
Unzip the contents of the file to a temporary location, and launch tzm_recorder.exe from a CMD Window.
 |
Note: The CMD window needs to be run from an account with Administrator rights for it to work properly. |
Step 4
Once TZM_Recorder finishes analysing the system, all information will be saved to a ZIP file which can be uploaded to the Tranzman Appliance.
Step 5
Upload the ZIP file to the relevant Virtual Server from the Web-Browser by selecting the upload button, highlighted in the image below.
Step 6
After the upload completes, resume the Agent. The information provided will be used to re-create the Backup Catalog from the source server.
