Copy the Backup Exec RALUS Installer
First step is to copy the Backup Exec remote agent onto the SNAP server, I copied it into one of the shared folders.
sh-2.04# pwd /shares/Shared/BEWS_11D.7170_LINUX-UNIX-MAC-NT4_AGENTS.2 sh-2.04# ls -1 DOCS RALUS64 RALUSx86 RANT32NT4 VxIF installralus installralus.cmd installralus.pl installrams installrams.pl messages perl pkgs ralusinst.conf ramsinst.conf scripts tools uninstallralus uninstallralus.cmd uninstallralus.pl uninstallrams uninstallrams.pl
Modify the SNAP Server
Not as bad as it sounds, this is to make the installer work on the SNAP server.
# ln -s /bin/ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig
Start the RALUS Installer
NOTE: after the ./installralus command it may appear to be frozen for around 1 minute, any longer and one of the dependant commands has likely frozen)
NOTE: I specified both the NAME and the IP address of my media server "just in case"
The below is just the lines that required input from me, for the whole output check installralus Output
sh-2.04# cd /shares/Shared/BEWS_11D.7170_LINUX-UNIX-MAC-NT4_AGENTS.2/
sh-2.04# ./installralus
Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to install RALUS: (SNAP1)

TEMPORARY: Uninstall
Since I can't get it going, I've uninstalled it. The uninstaller works pretty well, Check out the uninstallralus Output for more details.
Troubleshooting
Cannot run ifconfig.
sh-2.04# ./installralus 1: Cannot run ifconfig. sh-2.04#
You didn't do the pre-requisite steps in the installer.
sh-2.04# updatedb; locate ifconfig /bin/ifconfig /var/state/java/ifconfig /ramdisk/bin/ifconfig sh-2.04# ln -s /bin/ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig sh-2.04# updatedb; locate ifconfig /bin/ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig /var/state/java/ifconfig /ramdisk/bin/ifconfig sh-2.04#
