How to Install Backup Software From a Remote CD-ROM

1. Insert the CD-ROM in the remote system's drive.

2. Mount the CD-ROM on the remote system.

3. Make the mounted CD-ROM on the remote system exportable through NFS.

4. Become root on the system where you want to install the Backup software.

5. Create a mount point.

   # mkdir tmpmntdir

6. Mount the file system where the CD-ROM is mounted onto the system where you want to install the Backup software.

   # mount remote-host:/cdrom/cdrom0 /tmpmntdir

7. Enter the pkgadd command at the system prompt.

   For SPARC:

   # pkgadd -d tmpmntdir/Solaris/sparc

   or for Intel:

   # pkgadd -d tmpmntdir/Solaris/x86

   See "Server Software Installation Example" or "Client Software Installation Example" for an example of the questions asked by the pkgadd command script.

8. After the installation process is complete, unmount the CD-ROM.

   # umount remote-host:/cdrom/cdrom0
