A P P E N D I X A

Using the CLI to Install, Set Up, Uninstall, Start, and Stop Sun Management Center Software

This appendix describes how to install, set up, uninstall, start, and stop Sun Management Center Software from the command-line interface (CLI). For more details, refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide.

Installing the Software

First ensure that the base Sun Management Center 3.5 software is installed on your system. Refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions about installing this software.

Also ensure that any required patches are installed on your system.

To Install the Supplement Software Using the CLI

1. To install only the Sun Fire midrnage add-on software, run the es-inst command in the sbin directory where the Sun Fire Midrange add-on software was installed.

The es-inst script prompts you for a source directory.

2. Enter the source directory.

Refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide for more information about the es-inst command and its options.

3. If the general Sun Management Center 3.5 software package is already installed, and you are installing only the Sun Fire supplement software, enter n (for no) when you are prompted to begin the setup process.

Caution - Entering y(for yes) may cause the loss of any customized setup information, such as security keys.

Note - If you are installing the full Sun Management Center 3.5 software package, you have the option of running the setup script at the end of the installation procedure. If you choose not to run the setup script at that time, you can run it later. The setup script (es-setup) is in path/sbin, where path is the directory where the Sun Management Center software is installed. This step sets up all Sun Management Center agents, including the platform agent.

4. Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 software package on any systems (agent machines) that you will use for platform administration on the Sun Fire midrange systems.

Read the Caution and Note in Step 2 above. The Domain Administration and Dynamic Reconfiguration add-on software must be installed on the server, console, and agent machines. (Note that you can install the Sun Fire midrange or high-end systems Platform Agents on any machine where you have Sun Management Center software running.)

The system displays the following message:

Setting Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module Using the CLI

The setup has three parts:

System controller setup -- See Setting Up the System Controller.

Agent layer setup -- See To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module on an Agent Machine.

Server layer setup -- See To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module Server Layer Only on the Server.

Setting Up the System Controller

Before setting up the agent and server layers, you must first set up the SC.

To Set Up the System Controller

1. Enable the SC Failover Capability if you want to use it--See Enabling the SC Failover Capability.

2. Set Up SNMP on the System Controller--See Setting Up SNMP on the System Controller.

Setting Up the Agent and Server Layers

This section describes how to set up the agent and server layers.

To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module on an Agent Machine

If the agent machine has both server and agent layers, this procedure automatically sets up both layers.

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the PUn_path/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin directory, where n is the number of the Platform Update, and PUn_path is the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Run the es-setup.sh script.

To set up this module for the default platform agent instance, type:

# ./es-setup.sh

The script asks for the following information:

The IP Address of the Sun Fire midrange system controller.

A ping command is sent to the system controller IP address or host name that you entered. If the ping command fails, you will have the option of providing a different IP address or host name. If you prefer, you can continue without providing a new value:

Do you want to setup Sun Fire Midrange Systems platform administration module (y|n|q) y

Enter the IP address of System Controller 12.3.45.67

Host 12.3.45.67 is not networked.

If you would like to try another IP/Hostname enter it now or enter n to continue. 23.4.56.78

Host 23.4.56.78 is not networked.

If you would you like to try another IP/hostname enter it now or enter n to continue. n

Continuing with setup...

The Write community strings for the system controller and all the domains. If the script cannot get the domain address from the system controller, then it asks for the IP address of all the domains.

The port number of the Sun Management Center agents on all the domains.

Tip - This script can be run again to change the information provided in the previous setup.

The Sun Management Center software ships with one platform agent named "platform."

When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. For more on how to start platform agents, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.

To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module Server Layer Only on the Server

This procedure sets up only the server layer. To set up the server, agent, and console layers on a server, see To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module on an Agent Machine.

Note - If you chose to set up only the server layer (without a console or agent layer), user groups are not automatically added to the /etc/group file unless you use the -S option, as shown in this procedure. For a list of user groups, see TABLE A-1.

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the PUn_path/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin directory, where n is the number of the Platform Update, and PUn_path is the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Run the es-setup.sh script with the -S option:

# ./es-setup.sh -S

When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. The Sun Management Center software ships with one platform agent named "platform." For more on how to start platform agents, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.

Creating and Setting Up a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Agent Instance

The default platform administration module can monitor one Sun Fire midrange system. To monitor more than one Sun Fire midrange system, you must create one platform agent instance for each additional Sun Fire midrange system.

To Create a Platform Agent Instance

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin.

3. Run the es-platform script:

# ./es-platform -a instanceName

where instanceName is the name of a new platform agent instance.

This script asks for the port number for the new platform agent and the security seed. If you used a seed other than the default when setting up the Sun Management Center server, provide the same seed for this agent.

To Set Up a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module for a New Platform Agent Instance

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Type:

# ./es-setup.sh -I instanceName

where instanceName is the name of a new platform agent instance.

The es-setup.sh script asks for the following information:

IP Address of the Sun Fire midrange system controller.

Write community strings for the system controller and all the domains. If the script cannot get the domain address from the system controller, then it asks for the IP address of all the domains.

Port number of the Sun Management Center agents on all the domains.

Note - This script can be run again to change the information provided in the previous setup.

When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. For more on how to start platform agents, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.

To Assign Users to Administrator and Operator Groups

If your user name is listed in the esusers file, you can log onto the Sun Fire midrange system with read-only access for domain administration agents. In order to read and/or write platform or domain information under the platform agent, your user name must also be listed in the group file on the server.

The setup procedure creates up to 10 groups on the Sun Fire midrange systems server machine. These groups are:

TABLE A-1 User Groups
Group Name	User Category	Type of Access
`spltadm`	Administrator	Platform
`sdaadm`	Administrator	Domain A
`sdbadm`	Administrator	Domain B
`sdcadm`	Administrator	Domain C
`sddadm`	Administrator	Domain D
`spltop`	Operator	Platform
`sdaop`	Operator	Domain A
`sdbop`	Operator	Domain B
`sdcop`	Operator	Domain C
`sddop`	Operator	Domain D

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Add each user to the appropriate group in the file /etc/group.

Add Sun Fire midrange systems platform administrators to spltadm, to allow them to administer the platform through the platform view of a platform agent.

Add Sun Fire midrange systems domain administrators to the appropriate domain administrator group. For example, adding the name of a domain administrator to sdaadm allows that domain administrator to administer domain A through the platform agent.

3. Add each user to the file /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers.
