Installation of HP DP client

Installation of HP DP client is a straight forward process if all goes well.

In this example I'm installing HP DP version 9 on a Linux VM.

Mount the HP DP client iso image.

[root@linclient ~]# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@linclient ~]#

Next go to the LOCAL_INSTALL directroy & run the omnisetup.sh script.

(We only need to install the disk agent & if there is a DB running like oracle in my case then install the oracle integration agent too)

[root@linclient LOCAL_INSTALL]#pwd
/mnt/LOCAL_INSTALL
[root@linclient LOCAL_INSTALL]# ./omnisetup.sh

To verify the setup check for rpms:

[root@linclient LOCAL_INSTALL]# rpm -qa | grep -i OB
oddjob-0.30-5.el6.x86_64
OB2-CORE-A.09.00-1.x86_64
pygobject2-2.20.0-5.el6.x86_64
OB2-DA-A.09.00-1.x86_64
libbasicobjects-0.1.1-11.el6.x86_64
perl-Object-Accessor-0.34-136.el6_6.1.x86_64

oddjob-mkhomedir-0.30-5.el6.x86_64
[root@linclient LOCAL_INSTALL]#

To check HP DP client version run the following command:

[root@linclient omni]# /opt/omni/bin/omnicc -ver
HP Data Protector A.09.00: OMNICC, internal build 87, built on Wed 11 Jun 2014 12:08:18 AM AEST

In case you want to uninstall the client remove the following rpms:

rpm -e OB2-TS-CORE-A.09.00-1.x86_64
rpm -e OB2-DA-A.09.00-1.x86_64
rpm -e OB2-CORE-A.09.00-1.x86_64

Today I ran into a situation wherein I had to install the oracle integration library on a server with the client already installed.
I had to remove & re-install the clinet from scratch to do that.
