How to Install Sun Management Center 3.0 Update 4 Agent Software

Before you begin the installation of Change Manager software, see Master System Requirements to understand the hardware and software requirements for the master system.

The Sun Management Center platform add-ons you install on the master system become part of the Solaris Flash archive. However, only the Advanced Monitoring, Advanced Services, System Management, and Change Manager add-ons are configured on managed hosts you install using this archive.

This procedure is very similar to the one used to install Sun Management Center on the Change Manager server. This procedure describes the different steps that result in the installation of only the Sun Management Center agent.

1. Become superuser.

2. Run the /cdrom/cdrom0/sbin/es-inst command.

3. Specify which of the three layers to install.

   1. Type n at the Server Layer prompt and at the Console Layer prompt.

   2. Type y at the Agent Layer prompt to install it.

   3. Type n for all other add-on modules, including the Premier Management Applications add-on, except for the add-on for the platform type of the master system (Desktop, Netra, WGS, and so on).

      You are only given the opportunity to install agent platform support for the platform type of the master system.

4. Specify the agent seed to use.

   Please enter the seed to generate keys:

   At this prompt, specify the same seed you used to install the Change Manager server.

   Note that this step is important only if you want the master system to be managed by the Change Manager server. When the Solaris Flash archive created from this master system is deployed, the seed is discarded in favor of the seed that was used to install the Change Manager server deploying the archive.

5. Specify the host name of the Sun Management Center server.

   Please enter the Sun Management Center Server Hostname:

   This step is only important if you want the master system to be managed by the Change Manager server. When the Solaris Flash archive created from this master system is deployed, the host name is discarded in favor of the actual host name of the Change Manager server deploying the archive.

6. Install Sun Management Center 3.0 Update 4 Patch 6 on the Change Manager server by typing n at the following prompt:

   Sun Management Center setup complete. Do you want to start Sun Management Center agent now [y|n|q]

   When the installation procedure completes, you must ensure that patch 110938-06, or later, is installed on the master system. See How to Install the Sun Management Center 3.0 Jumbo Patch for Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on the Change Manager Server.
