Tru64 (OSF) - 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. Log out of root and log in as the user you created using sam. For example, if you created a user named /users/omnidex, you should enter:

# login omnidex
Password: omnidex

3. At a UNIX operating system prompt, type:

# tar -xvf device

For example, if the Omnidex software storage medium is mounted on a device named /dev/rmt0, you would enter:

# tar -xvf /dev/rmt0

The system tells you about the progress of the update operation. Wait until all files have been successfully loaded before proceeding to the next step.

4. Proceed to Step 3.

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