Summary of JumpStart installation tasks

  Caution   For detailed instructions, follow the JumpStart documentation that came with your OS. These steps are provided as a summary only.

Installing the Veritas packages on a JumpStart server consists of the following tasks:

1. Unzip the packages.
2. Copy the packages to a JumpStart server under a shared directory on the network.
3. Issue a command similar to the following on a JumpStart client:

        # pkgadd -R /pathname -a admin_file -d mount_point

       package_name1 package_name2 ...
 
  where mount_point is the mount point of the network shared directory to which you copied the packages in step 2.

  For the list of packages, see Installation order.

 
 
Note
  This command can be added as part of the finish_install (post-install) script of the JumpStart client.

4. Reboot the system using a command such as shutdown.
5. Run the appropriate command from the disc directory to configure the Veritas software.
