Install TapeWare
We recommend that you always review the release notes when installing either a new or
upgrade version of TapeWare or a TapeWare service pack.
1. Access the Installation Options screen of the TapeWare installer (see Launch
TapeWare Installer earlier in this chapter).
2. Select View Release Notes and press Enter. The release notes appear.
3. Use the arrow keys to review the release notes. You can also use Page Up and Page
Down, if they are supported by your platform.
4. Press Esc to return to the Installation Options screen.
Use this option to install TapeWare for the first time or to reinstall TapeWare. The
TapeWare installer guides you through each step of the installation process. In general,
you should accept the installer’s suggested directory locations.
Before you continue, you must identify the role of this computer:
• Administer an existing storage server database on a different computer (see Connect
to an Existing Storage Server below).
• Create a new storage server database on this computer, to be either a standalone or a
storage server (see Create a New Storage Server below).
