This File System iDataAgent provides backup and restore support for different kinds of data in what is often a heterogeneous network environment. The following figure shows one such example. Back to Top Supported Data Types In general, the Macintosh File System iDataAgent supports data protection operations for the following data types: Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), Hierarchical File System (HFS), HFS+, ISO 9660, Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) [for Mac OSX 10.3.x], MS-DOS, Network File System (NFS), Universal Disk Format (UDF), and Universal File System (UFS). The Unix File System iDataAgents can restore Macintosh file system resource fork data. For an overview, see Restore Macintosh File System Resource Fork Data. Page 2 of 97 Features - Macintosh File System iDataAgent In addition, the following tables provide specific information on the effect of supported data types on Macintosh File System iDataAgent backups and restores. The right-most column in each table provides references to the appropriate commentary, requirements, and/or restrictions for each scenario. If the reference is flagged by "*", be sure to check the referred section for further information if necessary.

Review general license requirements included in License Administration. Also, View All Licenses provides step-by-step instructions on how to view the license information. Back to Top Disaster Recovery Considerations z Before you use your agent, be sure to review and understand the associated full system restore (or disaster recovery) procedure. The procedure for some agents may require that you plan specific actions or consider certain items before an emergency occurs. See Disaster Recovery for more information regarding your agent. Back to Top Page 5 of 97 Features - Macintosh File System iDataAgent System Requirements - Macintosh File System iDataAgent The following requirements are for the Macintosh File System iDataAgent: Operating System Processor Apple Macintosh computer with a Mac OS X/Mac OS X Server PowerPC G4 or G5 processor that supports any of the operating systems Mac OS X v10.2.x identified in this table Mac OS X v10.3.x Mac OS X v10.4.x Mac OS X v10.5.x Mac OS X v10.4.x Intel-based Macintosh computers Mac OS X v10.5.x Mac OS X v10.6.x Memory 64 MB RAM per stream/drive minimum required beyond the requirements of the operating system and running applications Swap space = 2*RAM size Hard Disk 95 MB minimum of hard disk space for software 50 MB of additional hard disk space for log file growth 10 MB of temp space required for install or upgrade (where the temp folder resides) Miscellaneous TCP/IP Services configured on the computer. DISCLAIMER Minor revisions and/or service packs that are released by application and operating system vendors may, in some cases, affect the working of our software. Although we may list such revisions and/or service packs as “supported” in our System Requirements, changes to the behavior of our software resulting from an application or operating system revision/service pack may be beyond our control. However, we will make every effort to correct such disruption as quickly as possible. When in doubt, please contact your software provider to ensure support for a specific application or operating system. Additional considerations regarding minimum requirements and End of Life policies from application and operating system vendors are also applicable.

(This computer is referred to as the Client computer in this install procedure.) Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - Macintosh File System iDataAgent. Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software: General z Agents should be installed only after the CommServe and at least one MediaAgent have been installed in the CommCell. Also, keep in mind that the CommServe and MediaAgent must be installed and running (but not necessarily on the same computer), before you can install the Agent. z This software should be installed in a CommCell with current versions of the CommServe and MediaAgent software. z Ensure there is an available license on the CommServe for the Agent. z Verify that you have the software installation disc that is appropriate to the destination computer’s operating system. Make sure that you have the latest software installation disc before you start to install the software. If you are not sure, contact your software provider. Firewall z If the CommServe® Server, MediaAgent and/or Clients communicate across two-way firewall(s): { Ensure port 8400 is allowed connections through the firewall. { In addition a range of bi-directional ports (consecutive or discrete) must also be allowed connections through the firewall. For information on configuring the range of ports, see Port Requirements for Two-way Firewall. z If the CommServe Server, MediaAgent and/or Clients communicate across one-way firewall(s): { Identify a range of outbound ports (consecutive or discrete) for use by the software. Page 7 of 97 Features - Macintosh File System iDataAgent For information on configuring the range of ports, see Port Requirements for One-way Firewall. z If the MediaAgent/Client communicates with the CommServe Server across a one-way firewall, you must add the MediaAgent/Client host name (or the IP address) in the CommServe computer before installing the necessary software on the MediaAgent/Client computer. Multi Instancing z By utilizing the Multi Instancing feature, the same Agent and MediaAgent software can be installed on a computer multiple times, but not all components support Multi Instancing.
