Sun Microsystems Virtual Tape Library manual Installing the VTL console

CHAPTER 5

Installing the VTL console

The Virtual Tape Library console application can be installed on a full range of operating platforms. In most cases, a Sun service representative installs the console on one customer‐provided server as part of the initial deployment. Customers can install as many additional instances as required on other machines. Note, however, that no more than two (2) instances of the console can access the same VTL server at the same time.

To install the console, follow the instructions for the selected host type:

■“For information on the text‐based, VTL command line user interface, see Appendix A, “VTL command line reference” on page 169.” on page 143

■“Installing the console on Linux platforms” on page 144

■“Installing the console on Microsoft Windows platforms” on page 144.

Note – For information on the text‐based, VTL command line user interface, see Appendix A, “VTL command line reference” on page 169.

▼Installing the console on Solaris platforms

On Solaris systems, you install the console using the procedure below.

1.Log in to the host as the root user.

2.Using Secure File Transfer Protocol (sftp), download the installation files to the client.

For x86 platforms, select the i386 package:

%sftp vtladmin@appliance_IP-address

sftp> get /software/Solaris/vtlconsole-n.nn-n.nnn.i386.pkg

For SPARC platforms, select the sparc package:

%sftp vtladmin@appliance_IP-address

sftp> get /software/Solaris/vtlconsole-n.nn-n.nnn.sparc.pkg
