Before adding a SCO OpenServer asset to the Unitrends appliance, you must install an agent.
Once the agent is installed, you can update to a newer agent version using these same installation procedures. It is not necessary to remove the old agent. If an agent is already installed, you have the option to save any custom agent settings during installation.
Use these procedures to install or update the SCO OpenServer agent:
The Unitrends agent for SCO OpenServer enables you to back up, verify, and restore SCO server data.
Before installing a SCO OpenServer agent:
• | Make sure your SCO OpenServer system is running a supported version listed in the Unitrends Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix. |
• | Add the Unitrends appliance name to the local host table or set up the TCP/IP system to use DNS with the Unitrends appliance. |
1 | Log in to the SCO OpenServer machine as user root. |
2 | Place agent file, sco5_cnt, on the SCO OpenServer system. (Download the agent from the Unitrends Downloads page at https://support.unitrends.com/go/downloads.) |
3 | Change to the directory containing the agent file: |
# cd <download location>
4 | Grant execute permission to the file by running the following command: |
# chmod +x sco5_cnt
5 | Begin the installation by executing the file: |
# ./sco5_cnt
6 | Enter y to continue the installation and press Enter to continue. |
7 | Press Enter to accept the default installation directory (\usr\bp) or enter the full path where you prefer the software be installed. Respond with a y when asked if the directory can be created. |
8 | (Optional) Enter an email address to receive reports from the SCO system. |
9 | Enter the hostname of the backup appliance. |
10 | You are asked if your server is behind a firewall. Answer yes or no. Answering yes forces communication over port 1745. |
11 | Select Enter to approve default port and autoexec settings. |
The agent is installed and you are ready to add your SCO OpenServer asset to the Unitrends appliance. For details, see To add an agent-based asset.
