Overview

A complete SEP sesam environment consists of different modules, which can be combined according to your needs to implement optimized backup. Modules interact with one another through SEP APIs which are also used for interaction with another software.

Essential modules of each SEP sesam environment are: SEP sesam Server, SEP sesam GUI, SEP sesam Remote Device Server (RDS), and SEP sesam Client(s). Each module is installed separately. The SEP sesam environment is managed centrally by the SEP sesam GUI.

SEP sesam also provides additional modules and functionality that enable consistent backup of databases (Oracle, MS SQL, IBM DB2, Informix SAP R/3, etc.), applications (like SAP), groupware systems, and virtualization environments. Some of these extensions are already a part of a Client package, and some require a separate license in order to function. For details on licenses, see Licensing. Check SEP sesam OS and Database Support Matrix to learn what is supported on which platforms. For list of all supported extensions and their configuration, see Extensions.

Once you have determined how you want to set up your SEP sesam environment, you can install the required components. Note that the installation procedure depends on the platform on which you are installing a SEP sesam package. Also, the procedure for installing different packages might differ.

Installation

SEP sesam provides four installation packages: SEP sesam Client, SEP sesam GUI, SEP sesam Remote Device and SEP sesam Server (includes the Client and GUI components). In the installation example below, we will use the SEP sesam Server installation package.

  1. Locate the winXX directory on the installation CD/DVD or the download folder where you saved the SEP sesam installation package and double-click the sesam-srv-<VersionsID>-windows.x<SysTyp>.exe file to start the installation. Note that on Windows 7, you must explicitly execute the .exe file as administrator even if you are logged in as an administrator. Select your installation language and click Next.
  2. Agree to the license agreement and click Next again.
  3. Choose whether you want the the SEP sesam services to run under the Standard system accountor a Custom user account. It is recommended to give the SEP sesam Server services a Domain user account belonging to the Domain admins and the Local administrators groups. After choosing a user account, click Next.

  4. Select an installation directory for the program files (including the folders <SESAM_ROOT>\bin and <SESAM_ROOT>\skel) and the application data (including the folder <SESAM_ROOT>\var. This folder requires significant storage space if installing a server). Click Next.
    InstallChangeInstallationFolder en.png


  5. In the next window, select which of the four SEP sesam components you want to install (SEP sesam Server, SEP sesam Remote Device, SEP sesam GUI or SEP sesam Client). There is an additional option of installing a GUI with the SEP sesam Remote Device and a client with the SEP sesam GUI.
    InstallSesamFeatures en.png


  6. After selecting a component, click Next.
    Note that a Server package already includes all other components. If you are installing a Remote Device Server (RDS), you can also include a GUI. If you are installing a GUI, you can also include the Client.
  7. Depending on which components you are installing, proceed accordingly:
    • If you are installing the SEP sesam Server, click Install and then Finish to complete the installation.
    • If you are installing the SEP sesam RDS, SEP sesam GUI or SEP sesam Client, type the name of the SEP sesam Server (in the example below, the name of the server is Informatix).
    Information sign.png Note
    You must enter the hostname and not the IP address of the SEP sesam Server. The server name may not contain underscores.

  8. Click Next. The firewall information dialog is only intended for purposes of information. Take note of the information and click OK. Click Install to install the selected SEP sesam component and then click Finish to complete the installation.

Linux

SEP provides RPM packages for the most common Linux distributions (for example, SuSE and RedHat) and DEB files for Debian Linux distributions. The latter run on most Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

  • Before starting the SEP sesam installation, make sure that you are logged in as a local administrator or domain administrator.
  • To install any of the SEP sesam components (SEP sesam Server, Remote Device Server, Client or GUI), you will require an installation file which can be downloaded from Linux download. Make sure to download the correct file for your processor type.
  • If you are planning to install a server (including the GUI) or the GUI, Java Runtime Environment must be installed on the system. For details on the required Java version, see Java Compatibility Matrix.
  • SEP sesam uses network resolution for server to client communication. Before installing, you should test DNS name resolution by simply pinging (using both, long and short name) from server to client and back.
  • Ensure that any used SCSI devices are recognised by the operating system to which you are installing SEP sesam. SEP sesam checks the SCSI bus attached storage devices during the installation and adds its data to the database. SEP sesam can only see devices recognised by the operating system.
  • It is recommended to disable firewall to avoid problems during the SEP sesam installation. Once SEP sesam is installed, you can enable the firewall with exceptions made for the SEP sesam services.
Information sign.png Note
On RHEL, the SEP sesam installation changes the permissions of /var/run/postgresqlto grant SEP sesam users PostgreSQL access privileges.

Server installation

To install the SEP sesam Server, select the linux directory on the CD/DVD or the download folder where you saved the SEP sesam Server installation package.

  • Use the following command to install *.rpm files:
rpm -Uvh sesam_srv<Version.OS.SystemTyp>.rpm
  • Use the following command to install *.deb files:
dpkg -i sesam-srv<Version.SystemTyp>.deb

The SEP sesam Server installation includes a GUI which is automatically installed. If the display variable has been set, the GUI starts immediately after the installation is completed. To start the GUI manually, use the following command:

/opt/sesam/bin/gui/sesam_gui

Client installation

To install the SEP sesam Client, select the linux directory on the CD/DVD or the download folder where you saved the SEP sesam Client installation package.

  • Use the following command to install *.rpm files:
rpm -Uvh sesam_cli<Version.OS.SystemTyp>.rpm
  • Use the following command to install *.deb files:
dpkg -i sesam-cli<Version.SystemTyp>.deb

Run the following command on the client to grant the SEP sesam Server access rights and to allow it to contact and backup the client:

/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_setup set_client <SEP sesam Server Name>

Fujitsu FlexFrame Environments

After the SEP sesam Client package has been installed onto the master image, execute the sm_install_flex_frame.sh script in order to move the writable directories to a private area for each node. The script resides in /opt/sesam/skel/templates. Note that all client nodes share the installation's ini directory (and therefore the client configuration) of the SEP sesam Client installation.

GUI installation

The SEP sesam GUI package can be installed individually or together with a SEP sesam Client. The SEP sesam Server installation package already includes a GUI, which is installed automatically.

To install the SEP sesam GUI, select the linux directory on the CD/DVD or the download folder where you saved the SEP sesam GUI installation package.

  • Use the following command to install *.rpm files:
rpm -Uvh sesam_gui<Version.OS.SystemTyp>.rpm
  • Use the following command to install *.deb files:
dpkg -i sesam-gui<Version.SystemTyp>.deb

On KDE and Gnome, the installation generates a link on the root user desktop to start the GUI. This link must target the correct SEP sesam Server. Open the link properties and add the following parameter to the command line:

-S <SEP sesam Server Name>

Mac OS X

Two SEP sesam installation packages are available for Mac OS X: the SEP sesam Client installation package and the SEP sesam GUI installation package, which also includes the SEP sesam Client.

SEP sesam Client for Mac OS X 10.8 supports standard file backups with ACL's. Disaster recovery is not supported!

Prerequisites

  • Before starting the SEP sesam installation, make sure that you are logged in as a local administrator or domain administrator.
  • To install any of the SEP sesam components (SEP sesam Client or GUI), you will require an installation file which can be downloaded from download center.
  • If you are planning to install a GUI, Java Runtime Environment must be installed on the system. For details on the required Java version, see Java Compatibility Matrix.

Client installation

  1. Select the macos directory on the CD/DVD or the download folder where you saved the SEP sesam Client installation package.
  2. To install the SEP sesam Client, double-click the sesam-cli_<VersionsID>-macosx.pkgfile.
  3. The SEP sesam Server requires access rights to the Mac OS X Client so that it can contact and backup the client. Open the Mac OS X System Preferences, select the Sesam Server tab and enter the server hostname. Click Apply.
