2.0  Install the Client Agent

The installation script lets you install the Client Agent
and all available packages.

To install the Client Agent

 1.  From the UNIX or Linux system, log in as root.

 2.  If the agent packages are on CD, mount the CD to an
     available or newly created directory on your local system,
     as in the following examples:

      *   For UNIX:

           # mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /mnt/cdrom
      *   For Linux:

           # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
      *   For Mainframe Linux:

          If the CA ARCserve Backup packages are on CD, mount the CD
          to a remote UNIX or Linux computer and create a mount point
          to access the CD, as in the following example:

            #mount remote_server:/remote_mount_point /mnt/cdrom

 3.  To start the installation, go to the operating system
     directory on the mounted CD, as in the following example:

      # cd /mnt/cdrom/UNIX/aix

 4.  Execute the following script from the command prompt:

      # ./install

 5.  Follow the instructions in the script to complete the
     installation.

Note: We do not recommend that you install the client agent
under an NFS mounted file system.

     CA ARCserve Backup on your system.
