How to Install a Silo with Backup

1. Install the silo management software on the silo server.

   On the following models, all the necessary software was installed when you installed Backup. Skip to Step 4 if your model is listed below:

   • StorageTek on Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX

   • EMASS/Grau on Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows NT

   • IBM 3494 on Solaris and AIX

2. If your silo model does not appear in the list above, install the STLI library on the Backup server or storage node that uses the silo.

   Follow the instructions provided by the silo vendor.

3. Ensure that the Backup server or storage node is properly connected to the media devices in the silo that Backup uses.

4. Run the jb_config program to configure the devices in the silo for Backup to use.

   See "How to Configure a Silo" for instructions.

5. Enable the Silo Support Module using the instructions on your Silo Support Module enabler certificate.

6. Register and authorize the Silo Support Module.
