Task 6: Installing the CLI
The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides rapid setup of disk arrays and logical
drives. You can also manage your SuperTrak system using the CLI.
Installing onto Windows
On Windows PCs, the WebPAM PRO installer also installs the CLI. By default,
the CLI is installed when you install WebPAM PRO. You can install the CLI
separately without installing WebPAM PRO. See "Installing WebPAM PRO onto
Windows" on page 15.
See Chapter 6 of the SuperTrak User Manual on the Software CD for information
about using the CLI.
Installing onto Linux
For Linux PCs, Promise offers two different binary files:
• WebPAM PRO and CLI – Installs either or both WebPAM PRO and the CLI
• CLI only – Installs only the CLI
Note that both of these binary files open in a terminal window and both files use
the WebPAM PRO installer. The procedure below installs the CLI only. To install
WebPAM PRO, see "Installing WebPAM PRO onto Linux" on page 16.
To install the CLI onto your Linux PC or Server:
1. Boot the PC or server, log in as root, and launch the Linux GUI.
If the computer is already running, exit all programs. If you are not logged in
as root, log out, then log in again as root.
2. Insert the Software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
3. Copy the CLI_Installer...linux.bin file from the Software CD \CLI\Linux
directory to the /root directory on your PC.
4. Open a terminal window and type sh followed by the exact name of the
CLI_Installer...linux.bin file, then press Enter.
After several moments, the first installation dialog box appears.
5. Follow the prompts in the installation dialog box.
See Chapter 6 of the SuperTrak User Manual on the Software CD for information
about using the CLI.
Check the Read Me file for any issues pertaining to the flavor and
version of Linux OS running on your PC or server.
