Installing NCDware on UNIX Systems
The procedure in this section describes how to install NCDware on
the host and configure terminals to be used on the network.
For information on modifying or removing terminals from the
network, see the System Administrator’s Guide for UNIX Systems.
ncdinstall installs NCDware and configures terminals on most UNIX
systems.
Note If you are not sure if you can use ncdinstall on your UNIX
host, follow the installation instructions from Step 1
beginning on page 6 through Step 6 on page 8. After you
complete Step 7, a message displays if ncdinstall cannot run
on your system. For information about manual installation,
call NCD Technical Support.
ncdinstall performs the following:
❏Examines the host system to ensure sufficient disk space. For
information on space requirements, see the Release Notes or the
file SIZES on the CD-ROM.
❏Examines the host system to ensure that required
communication and login software is running. If requested, the
installation program enables the software.
4
❏Installs X servers; server modules containing local clients,
extensions, libraries, and protocols; host system executables
and fonts; color database; X keysym database; and
configuration files (listed in the Release Notes).
❏Starts the license management software and adds startup
commands to the host startup files.
❏Configures terminals on the network, updating network and
host databases to include required addressing information. On
UNIX systems, ncdinstall saves the original network and host
database files with the extension _O.
Preparing to Configure Terminals Using
ncdinstall
Before you install NCDware and configure your terminals, you
need:
❏A host system with access to a CD-ROM drive.
❏Super-user access privileges.
❏Approximately 10 minutes to install NCDware.
❏Terminals set up and attached to the network (see terminal
installation booklets for instructions).
❏An empty directory. During installation certain files are
installed in this directory.
❏Information about the terminals you will be adding to the
network. Set up a table that lists the following information for
each terminal before you start the installation program.
5
Terminal model The terminal model name, such as HMX,
Explora,Explora Pro, Explora 400/450
series, or Explora 700.
Ethernet address A physical identifier placed in NVRAM in
the factory and printed on a sticker on the
bottom of the terminal base or the outside
of the carton containing the base. It is a
12-character string beginning with 0000A7.
Example: 0000A7123608
Name
(node or
hostname)
The terminal’s node or hostname; a unique
node name consisting of alphanumeric
characters that you assign to the terminal to
correspond with its IP or node address.
Example: crocushmx
Internet address
(IP address) A 4-part, 32-bit address assigned by the
system administrator identifying the
network and terminal.
Example: 139.43.193.93
Subnet mask A 4-part, 32-bit mask used to distinguish
the subnet from the rest of the IP address.
Example: 255.255.255.0
6
Using
ncdinstall
The instructions that follow include samples of common UNIX
management utilities used while installing NCDware. The syntax on
your host may vary; check your host documentation for specifics.
Prepare to Run
ncdinstall
1. Log into the host as super-user.
2. Place the CD-ROM in the drive.
3. If you do not already have one, make a directory as a mount
point for your CD-ROM:
#mkdir /cdrom <CR>
4. The following instructions for mounting the CD-ROM vary
depending on the host and the CD-ROM drive configuration.
Substitute your device name for /dev/
cdrom
.
Gateway The IP address of the gateway device. You
need to supply a gateway address only if
the terminal is on a different subnet from
the host computer.
Licensed
features/node
licenses
If you are using node-locked licenses for
any licensed features, you need to know the
12- or 16-character license string for each
licensed feature. If you do not have a
license, contact Sales Support.
7
❏On SunOS, mount the CD-ROM:
#mount -r -t hsfs /dev/
cdrom
/cdrom <CR>
❏On Solaris hosts not running the Volume Management
daemon, mount the CD-ROM:
#/etc/mount -F hsfs -r /dev/
cdrom
/cdrom <CR>
Note On Solaris systems running the Volume Management
daemon, you do not need to run the mount command. The
CD-ROM is automatically mounted onto /cdrom/cdrom0
instead of /cdrom. When you run the ncdinstall command
(Step 6 of this procedure), use /cdrom/cdrom0 instead of
/cdrom.
❏On HP-UX mount the CD-ROM:
#mount -t cdfs -r /dev/
cdrom
/cdrom <CR>
❏On AIX, use SMIT to mount the CD-ROM on /cdrom.
❏On SGI hosts not running the Media Monitor daemon,
mount the CD-ROM:
#mount -rt iso9660 /dev/
cdrom
/cdrom <CR>
Note On SGI hosts running the Media Monitor daemon, you do
not need to run the mount command. The CD-ROM is
automatically mounted on /cdrom.

Start
ncdinstall
5. Make an empty install directory and change to it. For example:
#mkdir /home/ncd/rel_ver <CR>
#cd /home/ncd/rel_ver <CR>
where rel_ver is the release version, such as 5.0.124.
6. Start ncdinstall.
❏On SunOS,Solaris, or SGI, type:
#/cdrom/ncdinstall <CR>
❏On HP-UX or AIX:
a. Look at the CD-ROM listing to determine how the case
and spelling of ncdinstall appears; in some cases it is
spelled differently (such as NCDINSTA.\1;).
b. Type:
#/cdrom/cd-rom_name -map <CR>
where cd-rom_name is the listing for ncdinstall found on the
CD-ROM.
Throughout ncdinstall, you can use the following commands:
qQuit from ncdinstall
mGo to Main Menu
tGo to the top of the current submenu
hDisplay Help
!Enter a subshell; type exit to return to ncdinstall
Every time you run the program, ncdinstall adds information
about the session, such as the status of system services, to a
9
chronological record in the file /home/ncd/rel_ver/.installlog, where
rel_ver is the release version, such as 5.0.124.
Note If you run ncdinstall with the -s option, it performs a
staging installation, which is useful if you have a CD-ROM
drive on one workstation, but want to install NCDware on
another workstation. The staging installation places the
entire contents of the CD-ROM in the current directory, but
does not change system files or install software in system
directories. Then you can install NCDware from the staging
directory by mounting that directory on another host and
running ncdinstall from the mounted staging directory to
install NCDware into an empty directory.
Install NCDware
7. From the Main Menu, select 1 Install NCDware.
8. From the Install NCDware menu, select 1 CD-ROM. If you are
installing from a staging directory and want to install on another
workstation, select 2 Disk.
9. Confirm the location of the NCDware distribution (such as
/cdrom). Press the Return key (<CR>) at the prompt to accept the
default.
You can press the Return key at most ncdinstall prompts to select
the default, which appears in brackets following the prompt (for
example, [/cdrom]).
