Perl must be installed on the ZRM server and MySQL server. Two perl modules are required by ZRM for MySQL installations:
- perl-DBI, MySQL-perl-DBD : These database independent and MySQL database dependent perl modules are required by MySQL client commands such as mysqlhotcopy.
- perl-XML-Parser : This perl module is required for backup run notifications using RSS feeds.
Note: There are dependencies between perl-DBI and MySQL version being used. Please install perl-DBI that is compatible with the MySQL server version.
These packages are available as part of the OS distribution or from CPAN repository. Please install these perl modules from the OS distribution if possible (use the yum install command for Redhat distributions, use the apt-get install command for Debian/Ubuntu distributions or install from Sun freeware site). Installing perl packages from OS distribution is the recommended method.
Installing from a CPAN repository has requirements such as the compiler being available on the local machine and is not recommended.
The following commands install perl-DBI module from a CPAN repository:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'
Following command can install perl-XML-Parser from CPAN repository:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Parser'
