Installing, managing, and removing software

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:

  1. The systemb administrator inserts the cartridge tape into systemb's cartridge tape drive.

  2. The systemb administrator spools the packages onto systemb:

    pkgtrans ctape1 spool all

    This places the packages in the default spool directory, /var/spool/pkg.

  3. The systemb administrator advertises the directory containing the spooled packages to systema:

    share -F nfs /var/spool/pkg systema

  4. The systema administrator logs in to systema as root.

  5. 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

  6. The systema administrator installs the packages onto systema:

    pkgadd -d/mnt
