IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server, Version 7.1

Installing Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange on a local system

The setup wizard guides you through installing Data Protection for Exchange.

Before you begin

Before you install and configure, verify that the hardware and software requirements are met. Details of the hardware and software requirements change over time because of maintenance updates and the addition of operating system, application, and other software currency support.

For the most current requirements, see the Hardware and Software Requirements technote that is associated with your level of software. This technote is available from the following website: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21219345

When you go to this website, follow the link to the requirements technote for your specific release or update level.

About this task

Data Protection for Exchange is available in both licensed and maintenance packages. The installation process differs between these two package types.

Licensed package: Includes a license enablement file that is only available from your software distribution channel, such as Passport Advantage®, and includes the initial General Availability release of a product or component.
Maintenance update (fix pack or interim fix package): Available from the maintenance delivery channel, and can sometimes be used to refresh the software distribution channel. Maintenance packages do not contain license enablement files and must be installed after a licensed package.
See the README.FTP file for instructions about how to install a fix pack or interim fix package. The README.FTP file is available in the same directory where the maintenance package is downloaded.

Procedure

To install Data Protection for Exchange from a DVD, complete the following steps:

Install Data Protection for Exchange by using the setup wizard. The wizard installs the product and any prerequisites such as the .NET Framework and Report Viewer.
1. Log on as an administrator.
2. Insert the Data Protection for Exchange product DVD into your DVD drive.
  If autorun is enabled, the installation dialog starts automatically when the DVD loads. Otherwise, select Start > Run, and at the prompt, specify: x:\setupfcm.exe, where x: is your DVD drive, and click OK.
3. Follow the installation instructions that are displayed on the screen.
4. If prompted, restart your system before the installation completes.
5. Click Finish to complete the installation of Data Protection for Exchange.
The Management Console (MMC) GUI is shared among Data Protection for Exchange, Data Protection for SQL Server, and Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager. If one of these products is installed in a location other than the default, the setup wizard defaults to the existing installation directory. Use the same directory when you install any of these products on the same computer. The default base directory is c:\program files\tivoli.
To install more language packs, see Installing and activating the language packs.
If you plan to back up and restore local snapshots or run VSS offloaded backup operations, follow the tasks that are described in Installing Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager. If not, for important configuration information see Configuring Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange for TSM Configuration.
