How to Install Hardware Management Components Using GUI Mode

Before You Begin

• To install Management Pack components with Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installer, you must be logged into your system with Administrator privileges.

• Download and extract the Hardware Management Pack. See Getting the Software.

  The directory that you extract the files to is referred to as extract-directory in this procedure.

• For Windows Server 2003 SP2 or earlier, you must first install the Sun IPMI System Management Driver. See Installing the Sun IPMI System Management Driver 2.1. This driver is included with other operating systems.

• The packages for Hardware Management Pack have dependencies that must be satisfied for a successful installation. See Software Dependencies for more information.

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

• On a server running Oracle Solaris 11 with zones set up, the graphical installer can not be used. See How to Manually Install Components on Oracle Solaris 11 With Zones for information on installing manually on a server with zones set up.

1. To start the installer, type one of the following commands:
   • For Oracle Solaris OS based systems:

     SPARC processors: /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.sparc.bin

     x86 processors: /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.x86.bin

   • For Linux based systems: /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.bin
   • For Windows systems: /extract-directory/oracle-hmp-version/install.exe

   The splash screen opens.

2. If any of the following dialogs opens, perform the appropriate action.
   • If the following dialog opens, click Quit and log into the system with Administrator privileges.
     
   • If the following dialog opens, click Quit and remove the previously installed version of the software.
     
   • If the following dialog opens, click Quit and then check that you have the correct software version for your processor architecture.
     

   If the installation is ready to proceed, the Introduction screen opens.

   When you are ready to proceed, click Next.

3. From the Install Set drop-down menu, select either Standard or Custom.
   • If you select Standard, the Hardware Management Agents and CLI Tools components are automatically selected.
   • If you select Custom, the Choose Install Set screen opens.
     
4. For information on the available components, click the component name.

   The Description field displays information about the component.

   ---

   Note ‐ The Fibre Channel support options should only be selected on servers with compatible hardware. Selecting these options on a server without the supported hardware makes the installation process slower.

   ---

5. Select the components that you want to install using the check boxes and then click Next.
6. If one of the following dialogs opens, take the appropriate action:
   • Click OK and deselect the Hardware Management Agent feature from tzhe Choose Install Set screen.
     
   • Click Feature Selection and install the listed dependencies.
     

   The Configure Agents screen opens.

   
   
7. Select the Hardware Management Agent and SNMP Agent and click Next.

   ---

   Note ‐ If you select SNMP Agent, you must also select Hardware Management Agent.

   ---

8. Choose one of the following:
   • If you did not select the Hardware Management Agent, then go to the next step.
   • If you selected the Hardware Management Agent, then you can choose to enable the ILOM trap proxy.

     The ILOM trap proxy enables you to forward fault traps generated by an Oracle ILOM service processor to a network destination over the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect. When enabling the ILOM trap proxy, you must configure the IP, port and SNMP community that your destination is listening on.

     
     
9. If your server supports the new Host-to-ILOM Interconnect, then you can choose to configure the interconnect during installation. For more information on Host-to-ILOM Interconnect, see Enabling the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect.

   • On servers without the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect, go to the next step.

   • On supported platforms, the Configure Host-to-ILOM Interconnect screen opens.

   ---

   Note ‐ The Host-to-ILOM Interconnect must be enabled for the ILOM trap proxy to function.

   ---

   
   

   By default the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect is disabled and unconfigured. Select one of the options for configuring the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect:

   • If you select the Configure automatically option, the Host-to-ILOM Interconnect is configured using default settings.
   • If you select the Configure manually option, you need to enter the IP Address, Netmask, and Host IP Address information.

   ---

   Note ‐ Automatic configuration is recommended, manual configuration is provided for expert use.

   ---

10. On a server running Oracle Solaris 10 OS with non-global zones available, you are given the option to install to all zones.
11. A Pre-Installation Summary screen opens with information similar to the following screen.
    

    Verify that the information in the Pre-Installation Summary is correct.

    • If you want to change any of the installation items, click the Previous button until you get back to the screen where you want to make the changes.
    • If the information is correct, click Install.

      The Install Complete screen opens when the installation has completed.

      
      
12. Click Done to complete the installation.
