6.4 Installing Netserver Agents on SCO UNIX Netservers

The HP Netserver Agents (DMI software is not currently supported on SCO UNIX) must be installed via
the Custom utility of SCO UNIX. In addition, you must create a tar format master diskette of the HP
Netserver Agents for SCO UNIX server software using one of the following methods:
If you downloaded the Netserver Agents installation software from the Internet, you will need to
•
extract the files on a Windows/DOS client.
Then run a special program (included and documented with the download) to create the tar format
•
master diskette. Or,
Reboot your Netserver using the HP Netserver Navigator CD-ROM. Use the "Create Disks for HP
•
Netserver Agents Software" option from the "HP Management Solutions menu" of the Navigator Main
Menu to create the tar format master diskette.
