Discovery
Once an environment has been added to the Tranzman Appliance follow the steps provided to download and install the client agent on the targets.
The client is a tool create to collect configuration, usage and sizing information about the backup environments. It currently supports the following platforms.
- Windows 32 bit (2003 or higher)
- 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
Prerequisites
- For Linux/Unix, you must install NFS Utils on target machine so that Tranzman can transfer data to/from it.
- For Windows, SMB Signing needs to be Disabled so that Tranzman can transfer data to/from it. This can be achieved by editing the following RegEdit field;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\RequiresSecuritySignature=0
- Anti-virus products that perform on-demand scanning will significantly slow down the Tranzman agents. You should white-list the processes and folders used by Tranzman.
 |
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. |
Step 1
