Before you can connect to the VM I-Net server, you must
download and install the VM I-Net client applet. To download
and install the applet, open the VM I-Net install page in a
supported web browser and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE The client applet is browser-specific. You must install the
applet using each web browser you plan to use with VM I-Net. If
you’re using Netscape Communicator on UNIX, your UNIX
administrator may need to install the applet for you. See
“Configure the Web Browsers” in the “Introducing VM I-Net”
chapter of the PVCS Version Manager Installation Guide.
To download and install the VM I-Net client applet:
1 Start your web browser.
2 Open the URL of the VM I-Net Install page. The URL of this
page is http://hostname:port/vminet_install.html (for nonsecure
web services) or
https://hostname:port/vminet_install.html (for secure web
services), where hostname is the name of the system hosting
the VM I-Net server and port is the server port.
NOTE You may not need to specify the port. See your
administrator for the correct URL.
3 Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the
client applet.
Depending on the web browser you are using, you may need to
restart the browser after you complete the installation. The
instructions on the installation page indicate whether you need
to restart the browser.
