Installation performs the following tasks:

• Installs the Reload System software to the path: /opt/beginfinite/reload.
• Creates initialization scripts to start the Reload Daemon on server bootup.
• Creates various Reload initialization scripts such as "reload, reloadd, reloadm, and reloadj" in the /usr/sbin directory, so that they are available to the Linux administrator "root".
• Sets up a default Reload System configuration.
• Starts the Reload Daemon.
• If needed, the installation also installs the GroupWise DBCOPY and GroupWise Agent packages, unless these packages have been installed before, or if the installation determines that other GroupWise agent software is already installed.
• If the Reload server has a connection to the Internet and can browse the web, then the Reload server will attempt to install a piece of software called Xdialog. The Xdialog is used to view Reload log files in a graphical user interface. It cannot be bundled with Reload, because of licensing issues, so Reload downloads it to the Reload server if the server has a connection to the Internet. Xdialog is not required.
• Installs a Reload Administration icon to the root user's Xwindows desktop. If you are in an XWindows type session, you should see an icon on the root user's desktop. This icon is compatible with a basic GNOME or KDE installation. The icon is for convenience, and may not work in all Linux desktop environments.

Prerequisites

Reload requires:

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) version 11 SP3 or SP4, or version 12
• Sufficient disk space
  • For each GW Post Office, allocate at least 150% of production Post Office disk usage for 14 days of backups
  • For Retain, allocate at least 114% of the production Retain disk usage for 14 days of backups

If Reload runs out of disk space backup jobs will stop.

Installation

Download [Reload]

Install Reload by running the following command in the same directory the download is in:

rpm -ivh reload5.rpm

Post-Install Tasks

• License Reload by browsing to the [Licensing Website] and entering your validation keys
• Browse to the Reload Web Administration console

http://<Reload_Server_Address>:5555

• On the Toolbar, select Tools | License
• Submit the license

Reload for GroupWise

• Make sure that the GroupWise version is set in Reload

Go to Reload Administration by running:

reload

Then go to System | GroupWise | Version and select the appropriate version of GroupWise.

Should that fail the GroupWise software can be added manually:

• Determine what, if any, GroupWise software is already loaded. Get a list of installed GroupWise software by running:

rpm -qa | grep groupwise

• This will return a list of GroupWise components already installed or just return to the command line if nothing is installed. For example, novell-groupwise-dbcopy and novell-groupwise-agents
• Uninstall existing software by running:

rpm -e <softare>

For GroupWise 8 and 2012:

rpm -e novell-groupwise-dbcopy 
rpm -e novell-groupwise-agents

For GroupWise 2014:

rpm -e novell-groupwise-server

• Install the GroupWise software:

For GroupWise 8 and 2012, DBCopy and the agent software must be installed from the GroupWise installation software package. DBCopy is found in the "admin" directory and the agent software is found in the "agents" directory. For example, GroupWise 2012:

rpm -ivh novell-groupwise-agents-12.0.2-108211.i586
rpm -ivh novell-groupwise-dbcopy-12.0.2-108211.i586

For GroupWise 2014 and 2014R2, install the server software found in the "server" directory.

./install_server.sh

NOTE: Once the GroupWise software is installed, Reload and Blueprint for Reload can immediately use the version of software that you install. The version of GroupWise will eventually be reported correctly in the Reload Web Administration and Reload Console menu. It can take up to an hour, because Reload only checks the version of the GroupWise software that is installed every hour.

• Enable Retention Services on GroupWise

Reload for Retain

• Retain will need to be installed on Reload server. There is no need to configure Retain as that will be copied from the production Retain server.

Uninstall Reload

To uninstall the Reload Software Package, run:

/opt/beginfinite/reload/uninstall

This only removes the Reload Software Package. The configuration data, profiles and profile backups are left in their storage directories. The data can be removed manually.

Reinstall Reload

To reinstall Reload Software Package, run:

reloadu

Upgrading Reload

To upgrade Reload from the command line, run:

reloadu -r will force a download of the available version even if you previously downloaded it.
reloadu -h shows a help page

To upgrade Reload from the Retain Administration, run:

reload

then choose System | Tools | Upgrade | Upgrade

To upgrade Reload from the Web Console, choose upgrade from the Tools dropdown menu, press Go, and select Upgrade Now.

To have Reload automatically upgrade itself, create a cron job:

crontab -e

and enter

00 1 * * 3 root /usr/sbin/reloadu
