Loading the NetWorker Software

This section describes how to load the NetWorker software on a client or storage node

with a local tape drive.

Before you load NetWorker, verify that your system recognizes the tape drive.

To load the software, follow these steps:

1. Log on as the system manager:

HELLO MANAGER.SYS

2. Place the Legato NetWorker tape in the tape drive.

3. Set the following file equation:

: FILE T;DEV=TAPE

4. Restore the MPE/iX files from the product tape onto your system with the

following command:

: RESTORE *T;/legato;CREATE;TREE

After you load the software, you can install it.

Installing the NetWorker Software

This section describes how to install the Legato NetWorker software. You use the

NSRIZE command to install the NetWorker software. The installation script provides

pathnames for the locations of the software.

The installation script automatically creates a new MPE group, named

NETWRKR.SYS. The NETWRKR.SYS group has the following capabilities: BA, IA,

PM, MR, DS, PH.

The installation script gives you the option to create the group automatically or

manually. If you plan to create the group manually, see “Manually Creating the MPE

Group” on page 19.

Daemons are programs that implement services. NetWorker has two generic daemons,

PORTMAP and NSREXECD. These two daemons allow a client and storage node to

communicate with the server. Clients must be running the NSREXECD daemon for the

server to back them up or to initiate automatic storage node services. A third daemon,

NSRMMD, is started automatically by the server for each active storage node tape

device.
