This page describes the environmental requirements you should verify before running the install program. The Amanda Enterprise Edition components required on each are described in Downloading and Installing Amanda Enterprise Components.
Throughout this document, The Amanda Client refers the system being backed up by the Amanda Enterprise Edition Server, which also called the Amanda Server or backup server.

The following packages are required on the Amanda backup server:
These packages are installed by default on most Linux distributions. If you need to add them, you can use yum or apt-get, either from the distribution media, or from a distribution repository (run either as root):
#yum install package_name
or
#apt-get install package_name
32-bit versions of the following packages are required.
The Zmanda Network downloads page collects all of these packages in a downloadable tar archive (which is made available after you select a platform to download). If necessary, download the tar archive to the local system, extract it, and run pkgadd as the superuser to install it:
# pkgadd -d package_name
For restores to work through the ZMC, the client (regardless of platform) must keep TCP port 10081 available for the Zmanda recovery process. Refer to your OS network configuration documentation for details on opening ports for applications.
Amanda Enterprise Edition requires the 32-bit versions of all packages.
These programs are installed by default on most Linux distributions. If you need to add them, you can use yum or apt-get to install them, either from the distribution media, or from a distribution repository (you run either as root):
#yum install package_name
or
#apt-get install package_name
The Zmanda Network downloads page collects all of these packages in a downloadable tar archive (which is made available after you select a platform to download). If necessary, download the tar archive to the local system, extract it, and run pkgadd as the superuser to install it:
# pkgadd -d package_name
PATH="/opt/csw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin"
Some of the dependency packages listed above may change the location of runtime libraries when installed or updated. If this happens, backups may fail with a message indicating that a required library or file could not be found. If this happens, you must update the system search path so that Amanda Enterprise can find the file(s). The Solaris crle (Configure Runtime Linking Environment) provides a simple way to do this:
1. Run crle without any parameters and pipe the output to a file to save the original configuration:
crle > ld.config.old
2. Run crle with the -c and -l options to update the path. For example:
crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /lib:/usr/lib:/lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure:/usr/local/lib
Will update the /var/ld/ld.config to use /lib:/usr/lib:/lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure:/usr/local/lib as the search path. Running crle without parameters will display the current search paths in effect. Refer to the Solaris documentation for further details on crle.
Windows clients must open inbound TCP ports 10080 and 10081, and outbound TCP ports 700:800. Windows application backup (licensed separately) requires that the Volume Shadow Copy Service be enabled and started. See the The Zmanda Client for Windows User's Manual for details.
