For Solaris installation, access is needed to the Solaris client(s) on the same network as the backup system. Log in to the client machine as root and download the client software.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the system name in the local host table or the TCP/IP system setup to use a DNS with the system known to it. Have the client server in the host table on the backup system if not using DNS.
Once downloaded the following steps should be done:
chmod 711 /tmp/solaris8_cnt
./tmp/solaris8_cnt
After agreeing with the license terms, specify the directory location where the software will be installed. If this is a reinstall, you will be asked if you wish to overwrite certain files. Type the interrupt character or press return to continue. Once the files have been moved to their permanent location, you will be given a chance to review the release notes.
