Requirements for the Agent for Linux

The following items are required to install the Agent for Linux (Linux Agent):

  • The Backup Exec server must have TCP/IP installed.

  • You must have a root logon account on the Linux servers.

  • You must have the Backup Exec installation media.

  • You must enter a license for the Linux Agent on the Backup Exec server.

Note:

Some versions of Linux may require that you install the libstdc++.so.5 package.

See Troubleshooting the Agent for Linux.

Symantec recommends that you use the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol when you push-install the Linux Agent from one Linux server to another Linux server. You must enable SSH before you push-install the Linux Agent.

Backup Exec automatically installs the Remote Media Agent for Linux when it installs the Agent for Linux on a Linux server. However, you must enter a separate license for the Remote Media Agent for Linux before it is available for use.
