Appendix B
Setup Instructions for Network InstallationThis appendix discusses how to make a Java Enterprise System installation image available on your site network.
The Java Enterprise System distribution is designed so that you can easily put the installation files in a shared location. The benefit of doing this is that the installation files only need to be retrieved once. In addition, the Java Enterprise System installer can then be run from this shared location as often as needed.
You can get the Java Enterprise System software the following ways:
You can get a media kit containing CDs or a DVD by contacting your Sun sales representative or by going to http://www.sun.com. Each CD contains the installation files for a single operating system (Solaris SPARC , Solaris X86 or Linux X86), the Java Enterprise System installer program, and all the component products. The DVD contains the installation files for all operating systems, the Java Enterprise System installer program, and all the component products.
The Java Enterprise System software on CD or DVD is automatically included in some Solaris 9 media kits.
You can download Java Enterprise System software in several formats from the Sun Download Center at http://www.sun.com/download:
- ISO CD image of all installation files for a single operating system
- Compressed archive of all installation files for a single operating system
- Compressed archive of all installation files for a single component product, including any component products and shared components that the chosen component product requires
If you ordered a Sun hardware system with preloaded or preinstalled software, the Java Enterprise System installation files might already be loaded on your system. If the following directory exists on your system, the Java Enterprise System installation files has been preloaded:
/var/spool/stage/JES_04Q2_SPARC/Solaris_sparc/
To complete the installation and configuration of the preloaded software, see Completing Deployment of Preloaded Java Enterprise System Software.
To Make an Installation Image Available in a Shared Directory
- Log in as root or become superuser.
- Create a shared directory on your network. For example:
mkdir java_ent_sys_2004Q2
- Access your installation files from the web site, the CD, or the DVD, then prepare the installation files to be shared.
For web download. After downloading the Java Enterprise System distribution bundle (CD image or compressed archive), extract the files in the shared location.
- The CD image is normally burned to a CD, but it can be mounted if needed. Example of mounting:
unzip java_es_04Q2-solaris-sparc-iso.zip
lofiadm -a pathname/java_es_04Q2-solaris-sparc.iso /dev/lofi/1
mkdir mountpoint
mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 mountpoint
ls mountpoint
Copyright Docs README Solaris_sparc
cd mountpoint/Solaris_sparc
ls
Product installer- Copy the compressed archive to the shared location and unpack the files. For example:
unzip java_es_04Q2-solaris-sparc.zip
For the CD or DVD. Copy the installation files to the shared location. For example:
mkdir shared-loc/java_ent_sys_2004Q2
cd /mnt/cdrom
find jes_04Q2_sparc | cpio -pdmu shared-loc/java_ent_sys_2004Q2
The following tables list the Solaris SPARC and Solaris X86 distribution bundles for the Java Enterprise System software. (An ISO distribution includes the designation iso in the bundle name. For example, java_es_04Q2-solaris-sparc.iso.zip.)
