A-2 APPENDIX A: BOOTING THE NETBUILDER II CEC 20 SYSTEM FROM THE NETWORK
Installing
NETBuilder Software
on the UNIX NMS
To install the NETBuilder software, follow these steps:
1 Ensure that the TFTP server on the network management station is running and
has been correctly configured.
2 Mount the version 10.1 software CD-ROM on the network management
station. For mount instructions for your specific UNIX operating system, refer to
Upgrading NETBuilder Family Software.
3 Set environmental variables with the location of NETBuilder Upgrade
Management Utilities. (These variables depend on the UNIX shell that is installed
at your site.)
■ If you are using a C-shell (csh), at the prompt enter:
source /usr/3Com/common/data/.login-bcm
■ If you are using a Bourne (sh) or Korn (ksh) shell, at the prompt enter:
. /usr/3Com/common/data/.profile-bcm
4 Ensure that you are using the version of the NETBuilder Upgrade Management
Utilities that shipped with your software upgrade. To check the version you have
installed, enter:
bcmdiagnose -h
The version of the installed utilities is displayed in the following message:
bcmdiagnose version 10.1. Copyright 3Com Corporation 1996
If the version of the utilities you have installed differs from the version shipped
with your software package, you must first install the utilities shipped with your
software package.
In the next step, the bcminstall utility extracts the files from the CD-ROM and
installs them on the network management station hard disk in the
/tftpboot/image/<platform>/ SW|FW/<version> /<pkg> directory. For example,
the software may be installed in the /tftpboot/image/NBII/SW/101/FF directory. If
there is insufficient space on the disk, you can link /tftpboot to another disk.
5 Using the NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities, install the NETBuilder
software from the CD-ROM (the default) by entering:
bcminstall
The optional path parameter may also be used to install on a network
management station that has two or more drives connected as well as for
installing from a remote CD-ROM drive. You must explicitly specify the second
CD-ROM drive.
To install a NETBuilder package from a second CD-ROM drive on a Solaris
machine, enter:
bcminstall -cdrom /cdrom/cdrom1/image
After the installation is complete, the screen shows an inventory of all NETBuilder
packages installed, including previous versions you have installed.
