N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Installation Guide

Installing the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0

You will install each of the applications separately by using the appropriate installation script on the product media. The installation scripts for each of the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 applications begin by performing the same set of preparatory tasks and asking the same questions about directories, files, and installing the JavaTM runtime environment (JRE). Each script then asks specific configuration questions about the application that it will install.

ProcedureHow to Install the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX Systems

Before You Begin

Review the installation process overview in Installing the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 – Process Overview. Complete any necessary tasks prior to installing the applications.

Steps

  1. Log in as the user that you want to own the application.

    You can log in as root and install the software as the root user. If necessary, the installation program prompts you for information about which user should own the software.

    Note –

    If you are installing the Master Server or the CLI Client on a Solaris server, you must login as root.

  2. Access the installation scripts.

    • If you are installing from a CD, insert the appropriate CD:

      • To install the software on a Solaris OS, SPARC server, insert the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0: Solaris, SPARC CD.

      • To install the software on a Solaris OS, x86 server, insert the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0: Solaris, x86 CD

      • To install the software on IBM AIX or Red Hat Linux, insert the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0: IBM-AIX, Red Hat Linux CD.

    • If you are installing from the image that you downloaded, change to the directory where you saved the downloaded image.

  3. Change to the directory on the software CD or within the downloaded image where the installation script is located.


    # cd /script-directory

    script-directory is one of the following values:

    • solaris_sparc

    • solaris_x86

    • aix

    • linux

  4. Start the installation script for the application that you want to install.


    # cr_app_opsystem_5.0.sh [-allowForwardVersion]

    app is one of the following values:

    • ms – installs the Master Server

    • ra – installs the Remote Agent

    • ld – installs the Local Distributor

    • cli – installs the CLI Client

    opsystem is one of the following values:

    • solaris_sparc – installs the application on SPARC based hardware that is running the Solaris OS. To install the Master Server or CLI client, use solaris_sparc_pkg.

    • solaris_x86 – installs the application on x86 based hardware that is running the Solaris OS. To install the Master Server or CLI client, use solaris_x86_pkg.

    • aix – installs the application on IBM AIX

    • linux – installs the application on Red Hat Linux

    The -allowForwardVersion option enables you to install an N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 application on a version of an operating system that is numerically higher than the highest version the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 supports for that operating system. If you use the -allowForwardVersion option, the installation program does not verify that the operating system on which you are installing the application is supported. There is no standard Sun Services support for use of the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on unsupported operating systems.

    Caution – Caution –

    Installing the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on unsupported operating systems might result in undefined and unexpected behavior. Install the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on unsupported operating systems only for testing purposes. Do not use the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on unsupported operating systems in a production environment.

  5. Answer the configuration questions when prompted by the installation program.

    The installation program completes the installation and asks if you want to start the application.

    The installation program saves a log of events in the /tmp/N1GridSPSInstaller.log.pidnumber file.
