  6. Download the corresponding JRE and its dependent packages according to your BSD release. JRE v1.5 or above should be used. (It is strongly recommend to use JRE v1.6 or above.)

    For example, we are using FreeBSD 6.4 i386 for installation:

    Download javavmwrapper-2.3.5.tbz and diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz in the following links:

    http://www.freebsd-fr.org/ports/java.html#javavmwrapper-2.3.5
    http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml
    http://www.freebsd-fr.org/ports/java.html#diablo-jdk-1.6.0.07.02_10  (See package dependency of your machine)

  7. Install JRE.

    For the example above, we can use these command to install the javawrapper and the Diablo JRE package:

    pkg_add javavmwrapper-2.3.5.tbz
    pkg_add diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz

    Please note down the installation path, e.g. /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0.

  8. Set JAVA_HOME for Remote Backup OBM.

    Create a symbolic link for JRE:

    ln -sf "/usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0" "/usr/local/obm/jvm"

    If you are using csh as your shell, you need to type "rehash" and hit [Enter] to make the symbolic link take effect.

    For other shell, please use the following:

    setenv JAVA_HOME "/usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0"

  9. Install Remote Backup OBM and its related services by using these commands:

    cd "/usr/local/OBM"
    ./bin/install.sh > install.log

    The installation information can be found in the files $OBM_HOME/install.log and $OBM_HOME/bin/config.log.

  10. Enable the backup scheduler and autoupgrade services at machine startup by adding these entries in the system file /etc/rc.conf:

    obmaua_enable="YES"
    obmscheduler_enable="YES"

    Run the following scripts.

    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/obmscheduler start &
    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/obmaua start &

    The backup scheduler and autoupgrade services are automatically installed. Backup sets can now run at their scheduled times automatically.

  11. Please go to X Window or command line mode to continue the installation.

Get Started - X Window Mode

    or DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0; export DISPLAY


    BSD (csh):

    setenv DISPLAY IP_ADDRESS_OF_XTERMINAL[:0.0]

    For example:

    setenv DISPLAY :0.0
    or setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1
    or setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0
