Figure 12 Software depot setup page

Select the depot source (media or installed depot) and then click Next.

For media, you are prompted to insert the media and select a device.

For an installed depot, you are prompted for the hostname of the system containing the operating system depots. Enter the hostname, then click Show Depots.... Select a depot containing a core operating system from the list, and then click OK.

You are then asked to confirm your choices. A Server Setup Logfile dialog box is then displayed so you can monitor the depot installation progress. This process is lengthy and can take up to two hours. During this time this dialog box remains active and is updated when new information is written to the log file.

Upon completion, either click OK to continue installing additional depots by repeating this process, or click Finish to complete the server setup.

NOTE: To install additional software depots once the server is set up, see “Setting up additional software on the server” (page 41).
