Installation wizard steps

Boot target machine from the USB installation media. The following welcome screen appears.

If the live system was able to pick up the IP address from the DHCP server, it will show so on this screen. You can then access the system remotely via ssh on port 2020 with username 'root' and password 'bicomsystems' and continue the installation. There are several options offered on the welcome screen:

Step 1:

Select Backup Host as the installation type.

Option in setup wizard "(*) SERVERware Backup Host" is used for setting up a backup server, and it will let the user configure the disk array during installation. The fraction of array 8G will be allocated for the operating system, everything else is to be available for /BACKUP storage.
