3. Installation

Continuing on from the Preperation section (as root), you must mount the AccelNET installation media. There are 2 methods of doing this.

Method 1 (AccelNET CDROM):

Note

If /dev/cdrom does not exist, you will need to replace it with the proper CDROM device node.

root# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Method 2 (NFS share on kitchen):

Note

The machine must be properly configured for NEC's internal network and be plugged into the network.

root# mount -t nfs kitchen:/acc.base /mnt/cdrom

You should now have the AccelNET installation media mounted to /mnt/cdrom. Next, a few libraries must be installed that are not standard in RedHat 9.0.

root# cd /mnt/cdrom/redhat/8.0
root# ./install_libs

Now that the proper libraries are in place, AccelNET can actually be installed:

root# cd /mnt/cdrom/installation
root# ./install_accelnet

If all went well, all of the needed files should be located in /AccelNET.
