Sun Management Center Change Manager 1.0 Administration Guide

Installing and Configuring the Change Manager Server

Note -

To use the Sun Management Center 3.0 Performance Reporting Manager (PRM) with Change Manager, first install Sun Management Center 3.0 PRM. Installing and configuring PRM is described in the Sun Management Center 3.0 Performance Reporting Manager User's Guide.

To create a Change Manager server, you must first install Sun Management Center 3.0 Update 4 server software. Then, you must install the Change Manager 1.0 server software.

Note -

The following procedures describe how to install the Sun Management Center software and add-on packages that are required by Change Manager.

How to Install Sun Management Center 3.0 Update 4 Server Software on the Change Manager Server

Before you begin the installation of Change Manager software, see Change Manager Server Requirements to understand the hardware and software requirements for the Change Manager server.

Installing the Sun Management Center server software also installs the Sun Management Center agents.

The following procedure describes the steps for performing the installation from a CD. To perform web installations of the Sun Management Center software, see "To Install the Sun Management Center Packages From the Web in a Solaris Environment"' in Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide.

Note -

These instructions describe how to install the Sun Management Center software and add-on packages that are required by Change Manager.

See "Installing the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software" in the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide for instructions on installing Sun Management Center software.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.


    # JAVA_HOME=/usr/java export JAVA_HOME
