Method 1: Installing from floppy diskette

To create an installation floppy and then install the Solaris SPARC 2.x/x86 2.4 Client Agent from the new disk:
  1. On a UnixWare 7 system, insert the 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. Select one of the following, based on the operating system on the target workstation:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/solaris/sparc/image

    or

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/solaris/x86/image

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

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

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

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

  6. Log in to the desired Solaris workstation as root.

  7. Insert the Client Agent diskette into a local floppy drive.

  8. Mount the floppy drive:

    mount -F ufs -r /dev/fd0c /mnt

  9. Run the pkgadd utility:

    pkgadd -d /mnt
