DNS

For smooth installation of SEP sesam backup software in the network, name resolution must work properly. Specify a fully qualified name for each SEP sesam component, e.g., every server and client in network.

When finding a client, the operating system (Windows or Linux) first checks the hosts file for name resolution. Next, the configured DNS server is checked. If the DNS server is misconfigured or missing, the hosts file must be set up correctly to provide DNS. You have to enter the names and addresses of all SEP sesam components: SEP sesam Server, backup clients and machines running the graphical user interface (GUI). You must not remove or modify any existing entry of localhost in your hosts file. For details, see How to check DNS configuration.

A DNS server is preferred over entries in the hosts files of all devices. A DNS server allows a system-wide solution. All SEP sesam components must have their names and IP addresses (reverse lookup) added to the DNS server.

PostgresSQL/64-bit

On 64-bit Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris PostgresSQL is used as the SEP sesam database. When SEP sesam is installed on MS Windows, SQLite database is automatically installed. When SEP sesam is installed on a 64-bit Unix operating system, PostgresSQL has to be installed before the SEP sesam Server to enable the DB instance to be set up for use.

.NET

On MS Windows, .Net Framework 4 is required for SEP sesam Server installation.

Antivirus software

Deactivate or remove the antivirus software before installing SEP sesam components on each computer. Failure to disable active antivirus software may result in a failed, corrupt or incomplete installation. If antivirus software is installed, it is strongly recommended to turn off any on-demand scanning while a backup is running. For more details, see What effect does an antivirus scanner have on SEP sesam.

Si3 Deduplication Hardware Requirements

  • For the minimum Si3 hardware requirements that apply to SEP sesam Si3 deduplication server, see the above requirements list. Keep in mind that these requirements represent the demand for deduplication only. In addition, the amount of memory for the operating system and other services should be taken into account.Si3 Deduplication Hardware Requirements/en

Java Compatibility Matrix

SEP sesam version Java version
5.1.0 Apollon [V2] Java 17 Note1, Java 11, OpenJDK 11 LTS

Note1
  • On Windows, SEP sesam recommends Java 17.
  • On Linux, SEP sesam versions ≥ 5.0.0.9 Jaglion V2 and 5.1.0 Apollon support Java 17 only on demand, if the use of Java 17 from the command line has been enabled with sm_setup set_java_path -f <java_17_installation_path>.
Note2
5.0.0.9 Jaglion V2 is the last version of SEP sesam that supports Java 1.8.
Note3
Java 1.8 (≥ 1.8.0_111) is only accepted if it is already installed and the computer does not have a 4K display.
