Getting the Software

Before you start, make sure that you have downloaded the latest Hardware Management Pack compatible with the operating system on your target Sun server from:

http://www.sun.com/system-management/os-hw-mgmt

This file contains the files necessary to install Hardware Management Pack components.

The Hardware Management Pack download file name for the operating systems supported by Hardware Management Pack is as follows:

sun-ssm-mgmt-pack-version-OSVersionNumber

where version is the version of the Hardware Management Pack, and OSVersionNumber is the operating system that this Hardware Management Pack is designed for.

Once you download the Hardware Management Pack, you need to uncompress it to a local directory on the Sun x86 server that you want to manage.


Note - On the Solaris operating system, due to the restrictions of pkgadd(1M), the path that you uncompress the Hardware Management Pack to must not contain any spaces for the installation process to proceed.
