Copying System
Software to a
Hard Disk
You can copy system software to a computer that runs either a UNIX or an
MS-DOS operating system.
Copying to the UNIX Platform
The CoreBuilder software for a UNIX system is distributed on six diskettes.
Diskettes #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 contain the CoreBuilder software. Diskette #6
contains the SNMP MIBs.
To copy the software to a UNIX hard disk, follow these instructions.
If the directory
/usr/lp6000R
does not exist on your computer, create the
directory before proceeding. If your
/usr
directory is full, use a different
directory and substitute the name of the actual directory for /usr in this
and subsequent procedures.
1 Insert diskette #1 into the disk drive. These instructions assume drive rfd0.
2 Extract the first part of the software file using the following commands:
# cd /usr/lp6000R
# tar xvf /dev/rfd0
3 Remove diskette #1 using the following command:
# eject
4 Insert diskette #2 into the disk drive and extract the second part of the file
using the following command:
# tar xvf /dev/rfd0
5 Remove diskette #2 using the following command:
# eject
6 Insert diskette #3 into the disk drive and extract the third part of the file
using the following command:
# tar xvf /dev/rfd0
7 Remove diskette #3 using the following command:
# eject
