From a Windows NT or Windows 9x client, you must install the files from the CD to
the filer by performing the following steps.
NOTE: CIFS must be licensed and configured on the filer. To register the CIFS license,
enter the following commands from the filer console:
filer>license cifs=
<license number>
where
<license number>
is the provided CIFS license.
filer>cifs setup
To access the system files from the CD and install them on the filer, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. As the Domain Administrator from a Windows client, right-click My Computer
and click Map Network Drive.
2. In the Map Drive dialog box that appears, select an unused drive letter.
3. In the Path field of the dialog box, enter a path similar to the following example:
//filer/c
$
where
filer
is the name of the filer, and
c$
is the name assigned to the hidden
share of its root directory.
Do not change the Connect As field.
4. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive, and from the root directory of the CD, run the
setup.bat
file to begin the installation process.
5. After viewing the Welcome screen and the software license agreement screen,
specify a destination folder (this folder is the mapped, root-level directory of the
filer).
You must accept the license agreement to continue with this procedure.
The Browse option allows this mapping to be specified.
6. Select the appropriate setup installation method.
Typical installs Data ONTAP 5.3 operating system and local help files.
Compact installs Data ONTAP 5.3.
Custom allows you to select from the available components and install.
7. Once the files have been copied to the filer, enter
download
at the filers console
to complete the installation.
The filer can now be rebooted; no boot diskettes are needed.
