Deploying the plug-in

Installed by using the Manage Clients page, an installation environment for the Plug‑in for Sybase can be set up in one of two ways. The setup you use depends on various factors, including hardware availability and each system’s overall resources.

•
Server-only environment: In this environment, the NetVault Backup Server and the Sybase database server software are installed on the same machine. This configuration allows the NetVault Backup Server to act as a client to itself and back up Sybase data locally.
•
Benefit: Less hardware is required. Only one server machine is required to house both pieces of software.
•
Drawback: Having both software items on the system might affect system resources. A high-end machine is required.
•
Client/server environment: In this environment, the machine acting as the NetVault Backup Server is a different machine than the one acting as the Sybase Adaptive Server.
•
Benefit: There is less impact on both machines in use, so more resources are available for other operations, or lower-end machines may be used for each purpose. Also, more Sybase Adaptive Servers can be easily added as need arises.
•
Drawback: More hardware is required.

Installation prerequisites

Preinstallation requirements vary based on the applicable installation environment. The following topics offer details on these requirements.

Before installing the Plug‑in for Sybase to the target machine, verify that the following software is installed and configured, and that the following hardware requirements are met:

•
Sybase Adaptive Server, installed on the NetVault Backup machine containing Plug‑in for Sybase
•
Minimum of 2 GB of physical memory

Server-only environment

A server-only environment allows for one machine to serve as the NetVault Backup Server machine and Sybase Adaptive Server machine. The following software must be successfully installed on the machine before the Plug‑in for Sybase is installed:

•
Sybase Database Server software
