Remote Annex Quick Start for UNIX
166-024-857 Rev. A
Installing Annex Software on the UNIX Host
Remote Annex UNIX software includes operating images that are
downloaded to the Annex and utilities, such as the erpcd daemon that
runs on the UNIX load host and responds to all Annex boot, dump and
ACP security requests.
The software installation also includes Annex Manager, a graphical
UNIX application for configuring and managing Remote Annexes.
Annex Manager Release 2.3 supports Remote Annex 6300 and 5393
running Release 13.3, and Annex3 and microAnnex XL running
Release 10.0. If you are currently using Annex Manager for other
Remote Annex models, you should maintain the previous version of
Annex Manager in a separate directory.
You install the software on the UNIX load host using an installation script
distributed with the software on the CD-ROM. To load the software:
1. Mount the CD-ROM device and access the installation
script in the top level directory on the CD. To start the script
enter:
# mkdir /cdrom
# mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
# cd /cdrom
# ./install
The installation script contains two separate sequences, one for
installing the Annex software, the other for installing Annex
Manager. You can run both sequences in either order in one
session, or you can install Annex software and Annex Manager
in separate sessions. The script guides you through both
installations, providing prompts, explanations and help files.
