§ Spaces are not allowed in the installation path.

To install,
Step 1 Select y to confirm the copyright information.
Step 2 Fill in your own IP address. For a server which has multiple NICs, data can be backed up through the designated NIC, and this IP address will be displayed in the backup server.
Step 3 Fill in the VIP address of the backup server.
Step 4 Enter 1 or 2 to select the language (Chinese or English).
Step 5 The SSL option can be selected by entering y/n. If click Enter directly, it will be y by default.
Step 6 Enter y or n to select whether to support other database types. For ordinary clients, press n. For ordinary database types, press n. For special databases including Oracle and DB2, select y.
Step 7 Make sure all the selections are correct, and then enter y to start installation. If not, enter no to exit and run the installation again.
Step 8 After installation completes, run /etc/rc.d/init.d/ABClientService status to check whether ClientService is normal. (For installation via ksh, run ksh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ClientService status).

Log in to the console as a system administrator and the related IP can be viewed in Resources > Client > External Client. If the status is online, the installation succeeds.
