Once you have verified that you meet the hardware requirements and have installed all of the necessary operating system packages, you are ready to install INTV!. This chapter outlines the steps necessary to install INTV! on Solaris 1, Solaris 2, and HP-UX systems. The following topics are discussed:

• CD-ROM Format
• Mounting the INTV! CD
• Running the Install Script
• User Customization

The INTV! CD conforms to the ISO 9660 standard format. Most CD-ROM drivers support the 9660 standard.

ISO 9660 specifies mono-case filenames limited to 8 characters and possible 3 character extensions. If a filename does not have a dot (.), one is appended. A semicolon and version number are also added to the end of the filename. Since some systems do not use all these features, the CD file-system’s appearance will depend on how a particular platform presents the 9660 standard.

For example, the INTV! install script may appear as any of the following depending on the platform mounting the CD:

install.sh

install.sh;1

INSTALL.SH

INSTALL.SH;1

If you receive INTV! on a CD, these are the steps necessary to install it. You must first mount the INTV! CD on your workstation before installing INTV!. Follow the instructions for your platform listed below.

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the INTV! CD into the local CD-ROM drive.

3. If it does not already exist, create a mountpoint in the root directory called cdrom with the following command:

# mkdir /cdrom

4. Mount the CD with the following command:

# mount -t hsfs -r /dev/sr# /cdrom

sr# specifies the SCSI device number (i.e. srO).

5. Change to the INTV! CD with the following command:

# cd /cdrom

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the INTV! CD into the local CD-ROM drive.

mount -r -f hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t#d0s0 /cdrom

c0t#d0s0 specifies the SCSI device number (i.e. c0t6d0s0).

3. Change to the INTV! CD with one of the following commands:

with volume management

# cd /cdrom/insoft#l

without volume management

#cd /cdrom

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the INTV! CD into the local CD-ROM drive.

If a valid CD-ROM drive is attached to the system, the CD will be automatically mounted on /CDROM. If the CD does not automatically mount, you need to perform steps three and four; otherwise you can go directly to step five.

3. If it does not already exist, create a mountpoint in the root directory called CDROM with the following command:

# mkdir /CDROM

4. Mount the CD with the following command

mount -r -t cdfs /dev/rdsk/c0t#d0 /CDROM

c0t#d0 specifies the SCSI device number (i.e. c0t4d0).

5. Change to the INTV! CD with the following command:

# cd /CDROM

Running the INSTALL script copies INTV! to your workstation and configures it. To begin installation of INTV!, be sure that the cdrom directory is your current directory and follow these directions:

1. Use the command appropriate to your system’s interpretation of the 9660 format to start the install script:

# ./install.sh

or:

# ./install.sh\;l

or:

# ./INSTALL.SH

or:

# ./INSTALL.SH\;l

Entering the option number corresponding to a listed platform toggles that platform’s selection. An [X] beside a platform indicates that executables for that platform will be installed.

3. Select the platforms you wish to support and press Return to continue or Q to exit the installation program. Press Return to install support just for the platform on which you are currently running.

A summary of your selections is presented. This summary lists INTV! and selected architecture executables that will be installed on your workstation. The summary also gives the approximate amount of disk space required for the selected installation.

The default installation directory is shown. This location defines INTV!’s home directory. All selected INTV! files are installed in this directory. If there is not enough free disk space in the selected directory, you will be asked to select a new file system.

4. Enter a new path when prompted.

Enter the full path and directory name for the installation directory. INTV! is installed in this directory within a intv subdirectory. If there is not enough free disk space in the selected directory, you will be asked to select a different file system.

5. Press Return to continue the installation if you are satisfied with your selections and the installation directory shown. Otherwise, press Q to exit the installation program.

You get one final chance to abort the installation process.

6. Press Return to begin installing your selections or Q to exit the installation program.

The INTV! software directory is installed in the installation directory with support for all of the platforms you selected. A complete listing of the files installed is placed in the installation directory as etc/install.log.

While you are waiting, please complete and fax the MDL Product Registration Form included with your INTV! software if you have not already done so. You need to complete this form in order to obtain your license keys from MDL. See Chapter 4, "Licensing INTV!", for information on licensing and completing the MDL Product Registration Form. You need to install your INTV! license keys before you can use INTV!.

When installation has been completed, you are informed that you need to install your license keys before using the software.

7. Run the license installation program as outlined in Chapter 4, "Licensing INTV!", when you are ready to license INTV!.
