Load the IRIX NetWorker software distribution CD-ROM.

On the NetWorker server, switch user to root.

If you are upgrading from an older version of NetWorker, stop the daemons now, and make a copy of the /nsr partition, for example using xfsdump:

# /etc/init.d/networker stop 
# xfsdump -f /dev/tape -J /nsr 

Run the inst command, specifying the location of the NetWorker distribution:

# inst -f /CDROM/dist 
inst> list 

Select subsystems inside inst.  Use Table 1-1 as a guide to selecting product images.  For example, to install the software, reference pages, release notes, and the InSight versions of two NetWorker manuals, enter these commands:

Inst> keep * 
Inst> i networker4.sw.server networker4.sw.client 
Inst> i networker4.man.* *.books.NetWorker_UG *.books.NetWorker_AG 

For more information on the available product images, refer to the IRIX NetWorker Release Notes.  For details about inst, refer to IRIX Admin: Software Installation and Licensing, or see the inst(1M) reference page.

Perform the installation and exit inst:

Inst> go 
...
Inst> quit 

---

Note: If /nsr already existed and you want to evaluate NetWorker using temporary licenses, you must delete all existing files and directories under /nsr now.

---

Choose a filesystem for the NetWorker index files.  You can use part of an existing filesystem or dedicate a filesystem (typically called /nsr).

---

Caution: If you are upgrading from NetWorker 4.1.3 to NetWorker 4.2.5-B, you need as much free space on /nsr as the largest client index, because conversion involves making a copy of the index.  More space is highly recommended, especially to allow index conversion in parallel.  Running out of space results in a hung server.

---

If you choose a non-root partition instead of a dedicated /nsr filesystem, create a symbolic link so NetWorker knows where to place the index files.  For directory, substitute the relative pathname of a directory on that filesystem, such as ./bigfs/nsr on the /bigfs filesystem.

# ln -s directory /nsr 

If you are upgrading from an older version of NetWorker, expedite the conversion by running nsrck on each client index; see nsrck(1M) for more information:

# nsrck -D 10 client 
nsrck: checking index for client ...

Start the NetWorker daemons with this command:

# /etc/init.d/networker start 

Make sure you have purchased and installed FlexLM permanent nodelocked licenses as described in the previous section.

Switch user to root on the NetWorker server.

If the subsystem license_eoe.sw.flexlm_utils is not already installed, use the inst command to install it from the IRIX system software CD-ROM.

Verify that the NetWorker licenses were installed in /var/flexlm/license.dat.  For example, that file should contain lines like these:

    FEATURE NW_BASE sgifd 4.000 1-jan-0 0 AC215525CE8EFE18215D \
        VENDOR_STRING=NETWORK_EDITION HOSTID=#1762217977 \
        vendor_info="NetWorker Network Edition" \
        ISSUER="Silicon Graphics, Inc." 

Start NetWorker:

# /usr/etc/nwadmin & 

Activate the FlexLM licenses by running the nsrcap command (see nsrcap(1M) for more information):

# /usr/etc/nsrcap -v 
No license is available for feature
...
Found 1 FlexLM license for feature NW_BASE/NETWORK_EDITION
...
Found a FlexLM license for installation:

        license type: B1
        expires:      14299 days (Feb 06, 2036)

The nsrcap output lists the licenses you installed.  These licenses are now activated.

---

Note: If you have the Registration window open from the nwadmin command when you activate NetWorker licenses with nsrcap, close it to refresh the window.

If you are upgrading from an older version of NetWorker, check the Server window for values of Parallelism and Sessions per device, which might not have been correctly preserved during upgrade.

Switch user to root and run the jbm_enabler command to tell NetWorker about the autochanger; see jbm_enabler(1M) for details.  This command queries the system for jukebox devices, and returns a list of the ones it found.  For example:

# /usr/etc/jbm_enabler 
Enter the number of the type of jukebox you are installing:
 1) /dev/scsi/sc2d3l0    : DLT2700/DLT2700XT/DLT2500XT
Choice? 1 
Installing DLT2700/DLT2700XT/DLT2500XT jukebox (/dev/scsi/sc2d3l0).

Do you want automated device cleaning support enabled? (yes/no) no 
Looking for tape devices...
Following tape devices have been found:

---

Note: Automated device cleaning is recommended for devices that lack an indicator for when they need cleaning.

---

The numbers that you enter for the slots represent a range of slots, not the total number of slots available.  Entering a single slot number means that only a single slot would be used for backup and recovery with NetWorker.

If jbm_enabler fails to find all the autochangers connected to a system, you can disable automatic recognition as follows:

# /usr/etc/jbm_enabler -noauto 
Enter the number of the type of jukebox you are installing:

If you are upgrading from an older version of NetWorker, check the Server window for values of Parallelism and Sessions per device, which might not have been correctly preserved during upgrade.

On the client, become root and invoke the inst command, specifying the location of the NetWorker software distribution:

% /bin/su - 
Password:
# inst -f /CDROM/dist 
Inst> list 

Select subsystems inside inst.  Use Table 1-3 as a guide to selecting product images.  Subsystems not listed below are never needed on NetWorker clients.  For example, to install the required client software, the reference pages, and the IRIS InSight version of the NetWorker user manual, enter these commands:

Inst> keep * 
Inst> install networker4.*.client 
Inst> install networker4.books.NetWorker_UG 

For additional information on the available NetWorker product images, refer to the IRIX NetWorker Release Notes.

Perform the installation and exit inst:

Inst> go
Inst> quit

Check to see if the hostname alias nsrhost has been set to your NetWorker server:

# /usr/etc/ping -c1 nsrhost 
PING b2.mktg.corp.com (199.99.172.4): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 199.99.172.4: icmp_seq=0 ttl=252 time=4 ms
...

In this command, the -c argument is followed by a numeral 1 to indicate only one ping request.  The first line of output should contain the name of the NetWorker server aliased to nsrhost, in this case b2.mktg.corp.com.

If the output does not contain the name of the NetWorker server, commands such as the nwadmin do not automatically connect to the NetWorker server; users must bring up the Change Server dialog box to specify a server, or run nwadmin with the -s option to specify server name.

To set the hostname alias nsrhost to your NetWorker server, follow the directions in the section “Configuring Clients to Recognize the Server” below.
