The LDAP modules are supported only on the Solaris 7 and 8 operating environments. The calendar modules are supported only on the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8 operating environments. For any late-breaking information, please see the README file for Service Availability Manager.

Installing Service Availability Manager

Installation of Service Availability Manager follows the standard Sun Management Center 3.0 add-on installation procedures. For more information about add-on installation, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 User's Guide .

Service Availability Manager must be installed on the following layers of Sun Management Center 3.0:

• server layer
• agent layer, on all hosts from which you want to monitor a service

Installation on the console layer is optional.

The interactive es-inst installation script installs the correct Service Availability Manager packages for the agent and server layers. For the agent package, the module configuration files and libraries are stored in standard Sun Management Center locations.

To Install Service Availability Manager

1. As superuser, run the installation script by typing:

# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-inst

when /opt is the directory where Sun Management Center 3.0 is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

2. Provide the source directory of the Service Availability Manager files when prompted:

Please enter the source directory: /<Service Availability Manager directory>/disk1/image

3. To install the Service Availability Manager, answer "Yes" when prompted.

The es-inst script installs Service Availability Manager.

Setting Up Service Availability Manager

After installation is complete, you must run the Service Availability Manager setup script to configure the server and agent layers.

To Set Up Service Availability Manager

To set up Service Availability Manager, choose one of the following:

1. Answer ` y ' or ` n ' depending on whether you want to run setup.

• If you want to run setup for all Sun Management Center components found on the system, answer, ` y' for "Yes." Running the Sun Management Center setup script invokes the setup script for add-ons automatically.
• If you want to run the setup script only for the newly-installed add-on, after installation, answer `n' for "No." Then proceed to Step 2.

2. If you answered "No", as superuser, run the setup script by typing:

# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-setup -p EServices

when /opt is the directory where Sun Management Center 3.0 is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

Removing Service Availability Manager

Sun Management Center 3.0 does not support the uninstallation of an add-on only. To remove Service Availability Manager, you must run pkgrm on all applicable packages. Before removing the packages, you can save system resources by removing the configuration changes that the setup process made.

To Remove the Configuration

1. As superuser, change to the directory where Sun Management Center 3.0 is installed by typing:

# cd /opt/SUNWsymon

when /opt is the directory where Sun Management Center 3.0 is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

2. Remove the configuration by typing:

# ./addons/Eservices/sbin/es-setup.sh -u

To Remove an Add-on

1. Check for the existence of the following packages:

• SUNWesaes
• SUNWesces
• SUNWesses
• SUNWeshes

2. Remove the packages using pkgrm .
