Installing the NetWare Client Agent

This section describes how to install the Client Agent for NetWare.



NOTE: 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 and then install the NetWare 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:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/netware/image

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

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

    dd if=nwagent.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.

Once the install disk is created, proceed with one of the following installation procedures:

Installing from DOS

  1. Insert the Client Agent diskette into the drive.

  2. Log in as the supervisor/admin equivalent for the NetWare server on which you want to install the Client Agent.

  3. Change to the floppy drive where you inserted the installation disk.

  4. Enter:

    install <ServerName> <Volume Name>:<DirName>

    You are prompted to enter the server name, volume, and home directory if they are not specified on the command line.

    The default Client Agent installation directory is SYS:NWAGENT.

    If you want to install in a directory other than the default, follow the example below:

    install SYS:\new_nwagent

  4. Enter the server name and directory name, as prompted.
