Installing the SCO Release 3 Client Agent from floppy diskette

The system should be in single-user mode when performing system administration tasks, such as installing software. Although you can install the Client Agent while in multi-user mode, you should consult the SCO Open Server System Administrator's Guide first.

To install the SCO Release 3 Client Agent:

  1. Log in to the desired SCO Release 3 workstation as root.

  2. Insert the Client Agent diskette into the workstation's mounted floppy drive.

  3. At the command line, enter:

    custom


    NOTE: If you want to install from a device other than the default floppy drive, you must specify the device name on the command line. For more information about custom, see the custom(ADM) manual page.

    The custom Main Menu appears, displaying four menu options across the top of the screen and a list of products that are currently installed on the workstation.

  4. Select Install from the custom Main Menu.

  5. Select A New Product.

  6. Select Entire Product.

    You can start the SCO Release 3 Client Agent automatically by selecting the Auto Start option during the installation procedure. See ``Starting and stopping the UNIX Client Agents'' for information on starting the Client Agent.

  7. Press <Enter> when the following message appears:

    Insert: SCO ARCserve/Uagent v3.x Floppy Volume 1
    

    After the Client Agent is installed, the custom Main Menu reappears. Client Agent for SCO ARCserve/Open is displayed at the bottom of the ``Products Currently Installed'' list.

  8. Exit custom by selecting Quit then Yes.

    The Client Agent is now installed in the /usr/lib/uagent directory. Verify this by typing the following at the command line:

    # cd /usr/lib/uagent

    # ls

    The Client Agent, uagent, will be listed in this directory.

You can also use the custom utility to remove the SCO Release 3 Client Agent, if required.
