Solaris Container Manager 1.1 Release Notes

Issues You Need to Know About Before Installing Solaris Container Manager 1.1

This section contains information about preliminary tasks and the documentation for Solaris Container Manager 1.1 software.

usermod Does Not Update the /etc/user_attr File for Privileged Users

During the installation of Container Manager, the /etc/user_attr file is updated by the usermod command. When you attempt to modify the profile of the users whose IDs were entered during the setup phase of Container Manager, the following message might be displayed:


UX: /usr/sbin/usermod: ERROR: user_name is in use. Cannot change it.

If you encounter any of the following errors, update the /etc/user_attr file manually to set the correct profile.

On a S10 system, the contents of the /etc/user_attr file must look like the following:

username::::auths=auths;profiles=Pool Management,Zone Management,
Project Management,other_profiles;other_attributes

On a S9 system, the contents of the /etc/user_attr file must look like the following:

username::::auths=auths;profiles=Pool Management,Project Management,
other_profiles;other_attributes

On a S8 system, the contents of the /etc/user_attr file must look like the following:

username::::auths=auths;profiles=Project Management,other_profiles;other_attributes

To check whether the required profiles exist on the host or not, check the contents of the /etc/security/prof_attr file. This file must contain the required profiles according to the version of the Operating System (OS).

If the required profiles are not present, run the /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SCM/sbin/scm-poolprof-script.sh file to create the required profiles. /opt is the directory in which Container Manager is installed. To run this script, the JAVA_HOME environment variable must have been set to /usr/j2se, or Java must have been installed in /usr/java.

Installing Sun Web Console 2.0 Software

The Sun Web Console 2.0 software must be installed before installing Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1b or Solaris Container Manager 1.1. The Solaris Container Manager 1.1 graphical user interface (GUI) is browser based. To use the GUI, you must install the Sun Web Console 2.0 software on the Sun Management Center server layer. The Sun Web Console 2.0 software is included on the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1b CD 2 of 2 and must be installed if you are running either the Solaris 8 or 9 Operating System.

By installing Sun Web Console 2.0 before installing Sun Management Center or Solaris Container Manager 1.1, you ensure the following:

If an earlier version of the Tomcat server is currently installed, you need first to remove the corresponding software package.

The Sun Web Console software depends on, at minimum J2SE 1.4.2 software, which is included. If you have an older version of J2SE, the installation script prompts you to update the J2SE software.

Note –

If you have a beta version of Sun Web Console 2.0 already installed, you must uninstall Sun Web Console 2.0 first. For more information, see To Uninstall Sun Web Console.

ProcedureTo Install Sun Web Console From the CD

You must install the Sun Web Console software only in the default location.

Steps

  1. Become superuser by typing:


    % su -

  2. If you have the Tomcat server already installed, check the version by typing:


    # pkginfo -l SUNWtcatu

    The version that is included with the Sun Web Console software is identified as 11.9.0,REV=2002.03.02.00.35.

  3. If your version starts with 11.8.0 or lower, remove the Tomcat server by typing:

    The correct version is later installed as part of this procedure.

  4. Insert the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1b CD 2 of 2.

  5. Change directories to where the Sun Web Console software is located by typing: 


    # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/image/Lockhart2.2.3

  6. Set the JAVA_HOME variable. For example, in the C shell, type: 


    # setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/j2se/bin

  7. Install the software by typing:


    # ./setup

    • If the system has J2SE version 1.4.2 software installed, the installer automatically installs the Sun Web Console software. Wait until the installation is completed.

    • If the system has a J2SE version lower than 1.4.2 installed, J2SE version 1.4.2 software is automatically installed along with the Sun Web Console software. Wait until the installation is completed.

  8. At the end of installation, the following message is displayed: 


    Installation complete.
Server not started! No management applications registered

    This is a valid message.
