To Install Sun Management Center

Before You Begin

(On Solaris 10 and above) Ensure that the packages SUNWtcatu and SUNWtcatr are installed in the global zone before running the Sun Management Center server layer.

Set up the installation environment.
1. If you are installing the product remotely, grant access to the X server by typing the command xhost + machine in a terminal window where machine is the name of the machine where you want to install the product.
2. Log into the machine. If you are installing the product remotely, type the command rlogin machine and type the password.
3. Log in as root by typing su - root and the root password.
  
  Note –
  Do not miss the hyphen (-) after the su command
4. If you prefer a specific UNIX shell, type the command to use the shell, for example, csh.
5. If you are installing the product remotely, ensure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to the machine's display, for example, setenv DISPLAY local-machine:0.0.
6. Ensure that the group entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf has files as the first token.
  group: files nis
7. Change to the image directory. Ensure that the image directory is NFS-shared.

  You cannot run the product until you have set it up.
