Install CentOS

In this step, you install the CentOS operating system, and then log on to the Linux server to start the NBA package installer script.

The CentOS installation typically completes in about 20 minutes without any further user input.

To install CentOS:

1. Power on the Linux Server Platform
2. Insert the NBA "CentOS package" CD or DVD into the CD/DVD drive.
3. When the installation menu is displayed, select the first option "Install CentOS 6.0 for use with CA DataMinder Network" using the Enter key.
4. Check the output on the monitor for any error conditions that may cause this installation to fail and prompt for keyboard input. Details of the installation process are recorded in the /var/log/anaconda*log files.

   When the CentOS installation is complete you see a login prompt on the monitor.

5. Log on to CentOS using the following credentials:

   User name

   root

   Password

   rootroot

   When you log on as root, the 'nba-package-installer' script is automatically invoked. This script performs the rest of the NBA installation.

Now the installer reports on the port configuration. See the next section on how to verify that the network ports are correctly configured.
