IBM AIX - Server Setup Guide

Step 2: Restore the Software

Now that you have created a user and directory for the Omnidex software, you can restore it from the tape you received.

1. Mount the software medium on the appropriate device.

2. Login as the user you created in Step 1:

login: omnidex
Password: omnidex

If this is the first time you have accessed this user, you will be required to enter in passwords.

3. To begin installing the Omnidex software, invoke tar, specifying the location of the Omnidex installation tape.

tar -xvf tapedevice

For example:

tar -xvf /dev/rmt0

4. Tar displays the file names as it restores them. After it completes the installation, it displays the system prompt.

You are now ready to move on the Step 3.
