Topic: Easy One! Tape drive Install

[dilligaf]

ok, so that is good.
You are using newer version 6.x of sme right?
And you did donwload 7.0 SP5c as your demo.
in the directory where you extracted all of the tapeware files, is there an install file outside of the subdirectories?
Assure it can be execute search by others as well and try and call the installer from there.
I have done this procedure no less than 50 different times, never a problem as long as the permissions are set to allow the installer to complete.

I am using the SME 6.0.1
I downloaded the most current version of tapeware

There is a install script outside of the lin directory, that is the one i used first time i tried the install last night....

I tried the execute by all on that installer as well.  

I dont understand it....why would it initialize the installer last night, but not anymore?  I am logged in as ROOT so that should not cause any permission issues....This is why I think that the installer got hung up on the previous install, but I cannot verify that.  I wish there was a process manager in Linux that allowed me to see the current running processes.  

I am still getting the error....

ps -aux

there are too many to list, but I did find these on the list


root      2841  0.0  0.1 14924  288 ?        S    Sep01   0:01 ./install
root      2842  0.0  0.1 14924  288 ?        S    Sep01   0:00 ./install
root      2843  0.0  0.1 14924  288 ?        S    Sep01   0:00 ./install
root      2845  0.0  0.1 14924  288 ?        S    Sep01   0:00 ./install
root      2846  0.0  0.1 14924  288 ?        S    Sep01   0:00 ./install


could this be my problem?

I am looking at my install directory right now (everything in the LIN folder)
In MC, when I have all files selected, and then click file chmod, it shows:
read by owner
write by owner
execute/search by owner
read by group
write by group
execute/search by others
on all files.
Maybe something funny with your ibay?
Copy the lin folder to a different spot on your sever (IE, mkdir twinstall and put it there) double check the perms, and try again.

I would say you are now on the right track.
Leaving for extra long weekend in about... 1Hour.

I copied the lin directory to the root folder and still could not get past that error.  

any last words before the weekend?  

Am I doomed?

I GOT IT!

I rebooted the server which terminated those install processes going.

I installed the tapeware on the server then installed it on a couple windows machines.  

Got them all up on a backup.  NICE!

I GOT IT!

Good Job Olsen.

Then make changes to the tapeware.ini file on the windows pc to allow remote admin of the linux server as per tapweware user forums.

Can anyone expand upon this? What changes need to be made to a WinXP machine to fully manage the SME server Tapeware installation?
