To Develop a Sequence for Java ES Evaluation

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what sequence guidelines apply. Refer to Table 2–1.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what installation prerequisites apply. Refer to Table 1–3.

3. Starting the Java ES graphical installer

   Use either the graphical or text-based installer.

4. At component selection, choosing Select All, then deselecting the Application Server, Sun Cluster software, and Monitoring Console product components

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

5. Verifying installation directories

6. Selecting the Configure Now type

   Messages indicate which product components cannot be configured during installation.

7. Accepting configuration defaults when they are offered

   If you want to use non-default information, review the appropriate configuration tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Reference for UNIX.

8. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

9. Completing postinstallation configuration

   Chapter 6, Completing Postinstallation Configuration contains instructions for postinstallation configuration.

10. Starting the product components

    Verifying After Postinstallation Configuration contains the preferred Java ES startup sequence. Startup procedures follow the table.
