The SCO OpenServer client can be installed by downloading the installation file from the Unitrends Customer Care site. Refer to the table above to determine the appropriate file to download. Follow the instructions below to complete the installation.
Download the installation file to a temporary folder. Change to that directory:
cd <download location>
Change the permissions on the file:
chmod +x sco5_cnt
Begin the installation by executing the file:
./sco5_cnt
At the Bare Metal Plus splash, you are given another opportunity to discontinue the installation. To continue, enter y and press enter.
Note: This menu makes reference to the UNIX Client as the installation methodology is the same for Linux, Mac OS, and UNIX.
You will be given the opportunity to enter the directory where you would like to install the software. Press enter to accept the default installation directory (/usr/bp) or enter the full path to where you prefer the software be installed. If it does not exist, you will be asked if you wish to create it, enter y to continue.
There will be an option to enter an email address for the computer’s backup summaries. Typically, backups will be launched using schedules on the system. Schedule reports will be sent from the system. Enter none to disable reports directly from the SCO OpenServer client.
You will be asked to enter the hostname of the system. This name should be resolvable using DNS or the /etc/hosts file.
You will be asked if the client and the server (backup system) are separated by a firewall. If using a low, medium, or high security setting on the system, enter y when answering this question. Saying yes forces data communication between the system and the client to use port 1745.
The client can now be registered.
