The remote installation services utility uses the directory as a base. When you install the first product to the utility creates a remote installation services area. The area is called either or The area contains one or more ULTRIX software products. Each product contains the subsets of the kits that can be installed to clients on a network. Clients registered for an area install software over the network to their processor. The utility performs the following functions: a - Add client r - Remove client s - Show products in remote installation environments m - Modify client i - Install software You must use the utility interactively to set up a remote installation services area.
