Before Starting Installation

Before installing the MCC software supplied by Visara, refer to the README
file supplied with the CD, or ftp file. The README file contains detailed
installation procedures and last minute information that is not in the manuals.
The file is located in the top-level directory of the CD, or in /usr/ics/README on
the MCC host after the software is unzipped or installed.

Installing from the Distribution Media

Visara supplies the MCC software on CD-ROM. Specific installation procedures
are given below.

Note: Steps

marked

(Upgrade only) apply only if installing on a server that

already has a previous release of the MCC installed. These steps
should be omitted if this is the first MCC installation on this server.

1.

Obtain a license key file from Visara Technical Support and have it ready
to install. See the MCC Administration Guide for more information.

2.

(Upgrade only) Ensure that no other users are logged on to the MCC.

3.

(Upgrade only) Shut down the MCC, using the Administration -
Shutdown... menu option in the MCC GUI main window, or from the
Unix command line, as follows:

/usr/ics/bin/icsmaster -X

4.

From the Unix command shell, become the "Super User" (root), either by
issuing su or by logging in as "root".

5.

Install the MCC software as follows:
A. From the distribution CD-ROM

1. Insert the MCC CD-ROM disk into the drive on the MCC server.
Choose or create a directory on which to mount the CD-ROM file
system. This example uses /cdrom as the mount point. Mount the
CD-ROM with the following command:

/sbin/mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

2. Run the INSTALL program from the CD-ROM with the mount
point directory as the argument, as follows, noting that the
command is case-sensitive:

/cdrom/PACKAGE/INSTALL /cdrom

The installation process prints status information and
prompts for additional input.

3. Unmount the CD-ROM. Again, the following example assumes
the mount point is /cdrom:

/sbin/umount /cdrom
