Software Installation and Configuration
The following instructions may be used to install the software from either software packages downloaded from
the Storix Software web site (
or from a System Backup Administrator installation
CDROM:
Downloading and Installing from the Website
1. Select the software package you wish to download from the website based on your operating system
type, machine type and desired software configuration.
Be sure to download the file in BINARY. Some browsers will recognize the
".tar" extension of the file and ask you if it should open the file or expand it.
You should NOT do so, but select to save it to disk
2. Change to the /tmp directory:
cd /tmp
3.
Extract the contents of the file. Note that this does not extract the software, but only the installation
program files and install image:
tar -xvf IMAGEFILE.tar
(where IMAGEFILE.tar is the name of the downloaded file)
4.
Run the installation program by typing:
./stinstall
Installing from CDROM
1. Mount the cdrom by typing:
a.
On AIX systems:
mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /mnt
b. On Linux systems: mount –t iso9660 –r /dev/cdrom /mnt
c. On Solaris systems: Normally, a CDROM will automatically be mounted to the /cdrom/cdrom
directory when inserted. If this is the case, replace /mnt with /cdrom/cdrom in the following
commands. If the cdrom is not auto-mounted, type:
mount -F hsfs –o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /mnt
(where c1t1d0s0 is an example of your cdrom drive name).
2. Run the installation program by typing the following, then follow the instructions provided:
/mnt/stinstall
3. When complete, unmount the CDROM by typing:
umount /mnt
Updating the Software
Updates to new versions (i.e. 7.2 to 8.1) will require that you follow the instructions above as though you
installed the software for the first time. For most other updates, the administrator system and all configured
clients and servers may be updated from the user interface.
