Before you install the new software, verify that you have the CDs for the previous 
versions of SARA Server code in case you need to roll back. 

Note: It should take about 15 minutes to install the software onto the SARA Server. 
1  Open an xterm window on the SARA server. A prompt appears. 
2  From a prompt on the SARA Server xterm window, type su  - and press Enter. A 

password prompt appears. 

3  Type the root user password and press Enter. A prompt for the root user 

appears. 

4  Place the CD containing the new SARA Server software version into the CD 

drive of the SARA Server. The system automatically mounts the CD to /cdrom 
within 30 seconds. 

5  Type df  -n and then press Enter. A list of the mounted and unmounted file 

systems appears. 
Note: The presence of /cdrom in the output confirms that the system correctly 
mounted the CD. 

6  Type cd /cdrom/cdrom0 and then press Enter. The /cdrom/cdrom0 directory 

becomes the working directory. 

7  Type ./install_pkg and then press Enter. The system prompts you to confirm 

that you want to proceed with the installation. 
Important: Make certain that there are no spaces between the dot ( . ) and slash 
(/). 

8  Type y (for yes) and press Enter to start the installation. The Install 

Configuration screen opens and lists the installation configuration settings.
