Installing the SunScreen Software on the Screen

Before proceeding, make sure the network interface you plan on using for administration is configured. For details on the Solaris network interface configuration, see your Solaris software documentation.

After adding certificates on the Administration Station, you install the SunScreen software on the Screen. This procedure requires the Administration Station's SKIP certificate ID (MKID).

You can use the installer if a monitor and a keyboard are attached to your Screen. If you are operating the Screen without a monitor, you must either temporarily attach a monitor or install the software through the command line (see "Command Line Installation" in the SunScreen 3.2 Installation Guide)..

To Install the Software on the Screen

1. Change to the directory containing the SunScreen 3.2 product.

   #cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_9/ExtraValue/CoBundled/SunScreen_3.2/sparc

2. Double-click the install icon to invoke the SunScreen installer, which brings up the Welcome window.
