Installing database files to support remote installations

Before configuring your system as a network (remote) installation server, you may need to extract additional product database files from your original media before completing the server configuration. For example, if you install SCO OpenServer on the server and you want to support network installations of the SCO OpenServer Desktop System and Host System products, log in as root, insert the installation CD-ROM, and enter:

cd /
mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt
cpio -idumvI /mnt/opt/archives/VOL.000.002 "opt/P/SCO/odtps/*" \
"opt/P/SCO/unixos/*"
netisl server on
umount /mnt


NOTE: The names of the product database files for the Host, Desktop, and Enterprise Systems are unixos, odtps, and odtes respectively. To also load the databases for the French and German language support products, append _FR for the French support product and _DE for the German support product. For example, the commands above are for the English product. To make the French language support product available for network installation, include "opt/P/SCO/odtps_FR/*" and "opt/P/SCO/unixos_FR/*" on the cpio command line. Similarly, to make the German language support product available for network installation, include "opt/P/SCO/odtps_DE/*" and "opt/P/SCO/unixos_DE/*" in the cpio command line.

If you install the SCO OpenServer Development System on the server and you want to support network installations of the Application Development Libraries and Linker, log in as root and enter these commands:

cd /
mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt
cpio -idumvI /mnt/opt/archives/VOL.000.002 "opt/P/SCO/odslite/*"
netisl server on
umount /mnt
