Installing and removing SCO ARCserve/Open products

Installing SCO ARCserve/Open products from the command line

To install an SCO ARCserve/Open product from the UnixWare 7 command line:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Insert the media containing the desired SCO ARCserve/Open product in the CD-ROM drive.

  3. 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.

  4. Run the pkgadd utility once for each SCO ARCserve/Open package you want to install:

    pkgadd -d /mnt package_name.pkg

    The available packages are:

    ARCserve
    both the Lite and Full versions of SCO ARCserve/Open

    ARCdoc
    the full online documentation for both the Lite and Full versions of SCO ARCserve/Open

    UAGENT
    the Client Agent for UnixWare 7 systems

    For example, to install the ARCserve package, you would enter:

    pkgadd -d /mnt ARCserve.pkg

    Depending on the package you are installing, you may need to respond to some additional prompts. Answer these prompts as appropriate for your installation.

    SCO ARCserve/Open is installed in the /usr/lib/ARCserve directory.

  5. The installation defines several important environment variables in the /etc/profile and /etc/cshrc files. When you have completed the installation, run one of the following, depending on the shell you are using, to initialize the proper environment for running SCO ARCserve/Open:

    source /etc/cshrc  (for C-shell)

       or

    . /etc/profile     (for Bourne or Korn shell)
