Sun Management Center Change Manager 1.0 Administration Guide

How to Install Change Manager 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 Change Manager server software also installs the agents.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Go to the Change Manager download web site.

  3. Choose a directory in which to extract the Change Manager software product, and download the Sun Management Center Change Manager 1.0 tar file to that directory.

  4. Extract the Change Manager software from the tar file:


     # tar xvf sunmccm1_0.tar
    ...
  5. To install Change Manager, type:


    # ./disk1/sbin/cminst
    

    The cminst command installs the Change Manager server and agent packages when it determines that the Sun Management Center server and agent software have been installed on the Change Manager server. See the cminst(1MCM) man page.

    If the appropriate software has not already been installed, you might see the following error messages:

    • If you have not first run the Sun Management Center es-setup command before running cminst, the following error message appears:


      The system requires the user to run es-setup before installing the
      Change Manager addon. Please run /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-setup to
      setup up the SunMC database before running cminst.
    • If the Solaris Live Upgrade packages have not been installed on your Solaris 8 server before you run cminst, the following error message appears:


      Change Manager requires packages SUNWluu SUNWlur
      Please install the these packages before adding
      Change Manager to your system.
    • If the Solaris Live Upgrade packages have not been installed on your Solaris 9 server before you run cminst, the following error message appears:


      Change Manager requires packages SUNWnfscu SUNWnfscr SUNWluu
      SUNWlur. Please install the these packages before adding
      Change Manager to your system.
  6. Type y to set up the Change Manager database.

  7. When the Change Manager database is configured, type /var/opt at the prompt to specify the directory in which to store the database.

    Type y to create the directory if it does not already exist.


    Caution - Caution -

    The Change Manager database and repository must be stored on a local disk of the Change Manager server.


  8. Create a seed to generate keys.

    Use the same seed that you specified in Step 16 of How to Install Sun Management Center 3.0 Update 4 Server Software on the Change Manager Server.

  9. Specify the directory in which to create Change Manager files.

    By default, the directory is /var/opt. Press Return to accept the default.

  10. Specify whether to restart the Sun Management Center server.

    Type y to restart the server.

    If you do not want to restart the server, type n.
