Method 2: Creating an OS/2 Client Agent installation diskette

To create an installable floppy from the CD-ROM disk:

  1. On a UnixWare 7 system, insert the SCO CD-ROM disk into the drive.

  2. Mount the CD-ROM drive:

    /usr/sbin/mount -rF cdfs /dev/cdrom/c0b0t#l0 /mnt

    where /mnt is the mount point directory and t# is the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM device. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is set to a SCSI ID of 5, you would specify /dev/cdrom/c0b0t5l0.

  3. Change to the directory containing the Client Agent image file:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/os2/image

  4. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the mounted floppy drive.

  5. Create an installable Client Agent floppy from the os2agent.dd file. At the command line, enter:

    dd if=os2agent.dd of=/dev/install

    /dev/install is the default floppy device on your system. If you want to use a different floppy drive, specify that device instead.

Once the install disk is created, you can use it to install the OS/2 Client Agent files on each system that you want to access during your back up procedures. See ``Method 1: Installing from the SCO CD-ROM or an installation diskette'' for installation information.
