  • Windows 64 bit (2003 or higher)
  • Linux 32 bit (kernel 2.6 or higher)
  • Linux 64 bit (kernel 2.6 or higher)
  • AIX 5.X or higher
  • HPUX 10.* or higher
  • Solaris 9 or higher

Step 8

In the case of a Linux installer, navigate to the temporary folder and run the following command.

Use "return" to go back one menu on the Appliance.

> ./package_name

Step 9

Follow the on-screen wizard to complete the installation.

Other things to keep in mind when installing the client are;

  • Install NFS Utils on target machine.
  • If target machine is running Windows, SMB Signing needs to be Disabled. This can be achieved by editing the following RegEdit field;
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\RequiresSecuritySignature=0
  • Disable or prevent any AV products from scanning the processes and folders used by Tranzman.
Note.png Note: Remember to start the agent as the required user. For Windows system either as an Administrator/ System account, and for Linux as a root level account.
