Installing Clients in DP6.0 for LINUX/HPUX

Hi Guys, I had a great opportunity to work with a very well known backup solution HP OpenView Data Protector (version 5.5 and 6.0). Through this software we add new clients of which backup is required. Here I have posted a simple method to add a client in Cell Manager which is the controller of this software. Normally It can be done by GUI but most of the time GUI doesn't work in my case. So i used to do it from back end. How to Add a client in LINUX/HP-UX in dataprotector 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. First of all please collect the ISO or setup Binaries. Lets say I have the binary named dprotect.iso 2. Mount the iso as per below method a) You must login as a root user, if not root user then switch to root user using following command: $ su - b) Create the directory i.e. mount point: # mkdir -p /mnt/disk c) Use mount command as follows to mount iso file called disk1.iso: # mount -o loop dprotect.iso /mnt/disk
