Installing the Windows NT Client Agent

This section describes how to install the Client Agent for Windows NT.


Note that the number of Client Agents that you can use at the same time is dictated by the number of client connection licenses that you purchase. See ``Licensing SCO ARCserve/Open products and options'' in the SCO ARCserve/Open Release and Installation Notes for information on how to add your client connection licenses.


To create an installation floppy set and then install the Windows NT Client Agent from the new disks:

  1. On an SCO Unixware 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 files:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/winnt/image

  4. You need two blank, formatted diskettes. Insert the first diskette into the mounted floppy drive.

  5. Create the first Client Agent installation diskette from the ntagent_1.dd file. At the command line, enter:

    dd if=ntagent_1.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.

  6. Insert the second floppy and create the second Client Agent installation diskette from the ntagent_2.dd file. At the command line, enter:

    dd if=ntagent_2.dd of=/dev/install

  7. On the desired Windows NT system, insert the first Client Agent diskette into a local floppy drive.

  8. From the Client Agent diskette, run SETUP.EXE.

    The Welcome dialog box opens:

  9. Select Next.

    The following dialog box opens:

  10. Verify or enter a new home directory for the Client Agent.

    To choose a different directory, click on Browse and then select the desired directory.

  11. Select Next to continue.

    The software license agreement dialog box opens:

  12. Read the agreement and click Yes.

    The setup program copies the Client Agent files to the designated directory and creates a Program Group for the Client Agent. When the setup program is finished, you see the following:

  13. Click on Finish.

    You have successfully installed the Client Agent.
