Installing Sun(TM) Explorer Data Collector .....

    Preferred authority is detected from the pkg publisher list. This is taken as the default publisher for publishing explorer packages.

    Note –

    Before proceeding further, you must ensure that you have ssh login access to this publisher with sufficient privileges to configure and start pkg service on this host

    To know more about publisher, refer to the pkg man page or refer the documentation as mentioned above.

    The following is displayed:


    Your preferred depot server is http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80/.
You may need to have sufficient privilege to install explorer on this server.
Use it for explorer Installation? (Y/N)(default:y)? [y,n,?] n

  4. To publish the packages to the preferred publisher, type: y. Else choose n.

    The following information is displayed:


    Please enter server url to publish packages 
(Example http://myhostname.domain default: http://localhost):

  5. To accept the default choice of http://localhost, type: y

    The authority setup requires a few user configurable parameters like Port number and directory path.

    The following information is displayed:


    Please enter the Port number to connect to server 
(default:10000):13000
Refreshing the package catalogs..

  6. Enter the port at which the connection to depot server would be established.

    The default port here is 10000.

    The following information is displayed:


    Please enter the directory to push packages in server 
( default /var/pkg/repo): /usr/pkg/repo

  7. Enter the repository path for the authority, where the package will be deployed.

    The default value is /var/pkg/repo

    STB tries to update the package catalogs from this authority. If the refresh is successful, it proceeds to publish the explorer packages into this authority. If not, its possible that the corresponding http service on this authority has been disabled. Hence, STB tries to restart it after reaffirming with you about the authority settings once more.

    The following information is displayed:


    Refreshing the package catalogs..
Pkg service seems to be disabled in http://localhost. Trying to restart the service..
Please enter the directory to push packages in server ( default /usr/pkg/repo):
Refreshing the package catalogs..

    After starting up the http service, STB publishes the packages into the authority. Once the package is successfully published, it proceeds to install the packages into the client box.

    Note –

    Do not worry about the warning message:pkg.opensolaris.org: node name or service name not known. This error message is displayed if your client host is not able to reach opensolaris.org, which generally is the case for hosts which cannot access the Internet.

    The installation continues and the following information is displayed:
