5.2 FreeBSD Installaiton
5.2.2 Installing from the Downloaded Binary File on FreeBSD
These instructions assume that you have successfully downloaded the appropriate binary file from BakBone Software’s Web site. In addition, this file must be accessible to the potential NetVault: Backup Server machine. To complete an installation of this type, perform the following steps:
1. The downloaded file will be in a compressed state and must first be decompressed (i.e., using the necessary FreeBSD O/S-related
decompression software). Once complete, initiate a terminal session and navigate to the directory in which the decompressed files reside.
2. Execute the “install” file, by typing the following:
./install
3. With the installation successfully initiated, a step-by-step set up process will begin. Follow the on-screen prompts as they are given and provide the desired information.
5.3 HP-UX Itanium Installation
NetVault: Backup can be installed either via the installation CD-ROM or the binary file downloaded from BakBone Software’s Web site. This following sections describe these two installation methods.
5.3.1 Installing from the Installation CD-ROM on HP-UX
Itanium
To install the NetVault: Backup Client software from a CD-ROM, perform the following steps:
1. Log on to the potential Client machine using the root level account and mount its CD-ROM drive. The steps are given below:
1. Start the PFS Daemons, utilizing the following commands:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

For a detailed example of the full installation process, refer to the section Example Installation on a Linux/UNIX-based System on page 43.5.4.1 Installing from the Installation CD-ROM on Linux x86/
x86-64
To install the NetVault: Backup Client software from a CD-ROM, perform the following steps:
1. Log on to the target machine with the root-level account.
2. With the CD-ROM in the drive, initiate a terminal session and input the following command (assuming that all versions of Linux should automount the CD-ROM drive):
32-bit Linux
cd /cdrom/netvault/linux_x86_32/netvault
64-bit Linux
cd /cdrom/netvault/linux_x86_64/netvault
On some Linux installations (e.g., RHEL 5), if a CD-ROM is auto-mounted, installation from the CDROM will fail with error message "bash: ./install: / bin/sh bad interpreter: Permission denined". To avoid this problem, the CD-ROM needs to be mounted manually without the noexec mount option. Example:
umount /media/
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media
3. Execute the “install” file, by typing the following:
./install
4. With the installation successfully initiated, a step-by-step set up process will begin. Follow the on-screen prompts as they are given and provide the desired information.
5. When confronted with the “Should a Client or Server version of NetVault: Backup be installed?” select “C” for a NetVault: Backup Client installation and press Enter.
