Installing software from a remote machine (NFS)
You can use the
pkginstall(1M) command
to install software over the network. In the following example,
NFS (Network Filesystem) utilities are used instead:
-
The systemb administrator inserts the cartridge tape
into systemb's cartridge tape drive.
-
The systemb administrator spools the packages
onto systemb:
pkgtrans ctape1 spool all
This places the packages in the default spool directory,
/var/spool/pkg.
-
The systemb administrator advertises the directory containing the
spooled packages to systema:
share -F nfs /var/spool/pkg systema
-
The systema administrator logs in to
systema as root.
-
The systema administrator mounts the
directory that the systemb
administrator just advertised onto systema's
mount directory, /mnt:
mount -F nfs systemb:/var/spool/pkg /mnt
-
The systema administrator installs the
packages onto systema:
pkgadd -d/mnt
