Installing the Software Packages Manually

This appendix describes how to install the Sun Trunking 1.3 software and the driver software manually. This appendix includes the following sections:

Verifying Required Driver Software

Installing the Driver Software

Verifying and Installing Driver Patches

Installing the Trunking Software

Verifying Required Driver Software

You cannot activate the Sun Trunking 1.3 software until the driver software is installed.

To Verify that the Software is Installed

1. Verify the presence of the driver software:

If your system is booted using the 32-bit kernel:

# pkginfo -l package

Where package = SUNWqfed, SUNWged, or SUNWced

If system is booted using the 64-bit kernel:

# pkginfo -l package

Where package = SUNWqfedx, SUNWgedx, or SUNWcedx

SUNWqfed, SUNWqfedx (for QuadFast Ethernet)

SUNWged, SUNWgedx (for Gigabit Ethernet)

SUNWced, SUNWcedx (for GigaSwift Ethernet and Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI/P)

If the command responds with packaging information, the packages are installed. If the packages are not installed, refer to your product documentation.

Installing the Driver Software

You can install the packages from the Solaris release media for the installed version of the Solaris operating environment. However, if you are using the Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 operating environment with Gigabit Ethernet, GiagaSwift Ethernet, or Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI/P adapters, install the packages from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM. The packages on the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM contain a pre-applied patch, so you will not need to install the required Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 patch for the driver after you install the driver packages from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM.

To Install the Gigabit Ethernet Software for Solaris 7

1. As superuser (root), change to the following directory:

# cd media_path/Solaris_7/GigabitEthernet/Packages

Where:

media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.

2. Install the packages as follows:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWged SUNWgedm SUNWgedu

Answer y for package installation questions.

To Install the GigaSwift Ethernet Software or Dual Fast Ethernet Software for Solaris 7 or 8 OS

1. As super-user (root), change directories as follows:

# cd media_path/Solaris_x/GigaSwiftEthernet/Packages

Where x = 7 for Solaris 7, 8 for Solaris 8

Where:

media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.

2. Install the packages:

For Solaris 7:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWced.u SUNWcedu SUNWcedx

For Solaris 8:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWced.u SUNWcedu SUNWcedx SUNWvld SUNWvldu SUNWvldx

Answer y for package installation questions.

Verifying and Installing Driver Patches

Ensure that the latest patches are installed on your system.

Use the showrev command to see if the latest patches are currently installed.

# showrev -p | grep patch-id

If the following patches (or more recent versions) are present, proceed with the Sun Trunking 1.3 software installation. If the patch version is less than indicated below, install the patches as described in the next section.

The patches are installed in the various product directories. The following patch versions (or higher) are required to support Trunking 1.3:

GigaSwift Ethernet Driver

Solaris 7 112327-12

Solaris 8 111883-18 or 112119-02 if VLAN utility is installed.

Solaris 9 112817-10 or 114600-02 if VLAN utility is installed

Solaris 10 SPARC 118777-08 and 119648-03 if VLAN utility is installed

Solaris 10 x86 118778-07 and 119649-03 if VLAN utility is installed

Gigabit Ethernet Driver

Solaris 7 106765-11

Solaris 8 108813-15

Solaris 9 113361-06

Solaris 10 118945-01

Quad FastEthernet Driver

Solaris 7 107743-14

Solaris 8 108806-15

Solaris 9 112764-06

Solaris 10 118981-03

To Install the Patches for Solaris 7, 8, or 9 OS

1. Change to the directory of the desired patch area:

# cd media_path/Solaris_x/network_product/Patches

Where:

media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.

x = Solaris Version: 7, 8, or 9

network_product = GigaSwiftEthernet, GigabitEthernet, or QuadFast Ethernet

Install the required patch:

# patchadd patch_id

Where patch_id = See Verifying and Installing Driver Patches for the patch list.

To Install the Patches for Solaris 10 OS

1. Change to the directory of the desired patch area:

# cd unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3/Solaris_10/Patches/arch

Where:

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path = the directory path where the downloaded unzipped trunking directory is located

arch = sparc or i386

2. Install the required patch:

# patchadd patch_id

Where patch_id = See Verifying and Installing Driver Patches for the patch list.

Installing the Trunking Software

Once the desired network Ethernet drivers are installed and updated, the Trunking packages can be installed.

To Install Trunking Packages for Solaris 7, 8, or 9 OS

1. Change to the directory of the Trunking packages:

# cd media_path/Solaris_x/Trunking/Packages

Where:

media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM

unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.

x = Solaris Version: 7, 8, or 9

2. Install the packages:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWtrku SUNWtrkm

Answer y for package installation questions.

To Install Trunking Packages for Solaris 10 OS

1. Change to the directory of the Trunking packages:

# cd unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3/Solaris_10/Trunking/Packages/arch

Where:

unzipped_Trunking_1_3_path = the directory path where the downloaded unzipped trunking directory is located

arch = sparc or i386

2. Install the packages:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWtrku SUNWtrkm

Answer y for package installation questions.
