This chapter describes the processes specifically related to installing and configuring Sun Management Center 3.0 for the supported platforms.
Support for these platforms requires the Sun Management Center 3.0 core packages and the add-on packages for the supported platforms. In this release of the product, the add-on packages are available independently from the Sun Management Center 3.0 core packages.
TABLE 2-1 lists the specific software revisions required to install Sun Management Center 3.0 on the supported platforms.
Your Sun Management Center 3.0 installation and setup scripts may not display the same messages in exactly the same sequence as the examples in this chapter. However, these examples show the basic messages you receive and the approximate sequence in which you receive them.
Specific installation and setup scripts depend on the additional components you install and other choices you make.

The installation procedure described in this chapter installs the common packages and platform-specific packages automatically.
The packages are supplied in an archive bundle named symon_elsw_<ver>.tar. Z where <ver> is the version number. At the time of publication of this document, the version is <b1.2>. Always use the latest available version of this file for installation.
The file, which is in compressed tar format, is available from:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/get.html
Note - In the future, some of the filenames can vary depending on which version of Solaris you are using, the version of Sun Management Center you have downloaded and the version of this product. |
Your environment must meet certain requirements before you can install the management software. This section explains these requirements.
Before installing the Sun Management Center 3.0 software, determine which server is to be the Sun Management Center server. The available memory in the server must meet the requirements given in the Sun Management Center 3.0 Configuration and Deployment Guide.
When the Sun Management Center server is down, you will not be able to use Sun Management Center software to manage your system. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 Configuration and Deployment Guide for more information about server requirements.
Note - If you are extending an existing Sun Management Center installation to provide support for the supported platforms, it is not necessary to re-install the core Sun Management Center packages. |
To simplify the installation procedure, make sure you have the following information to hand before starting your installation:
If you have a previous version of the hardware platform module for the supported platforms already installed, remove the existing packages before you install the new version.
1. If necessary, uninstall any pre-existing installation of the add-on software.
For details, see Removing Existing Hardware Platform Modules.
2. If necessary, install Sun Management Center 3.0 software on the system used as the Sun Management Center console.
For details, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide.
3. Install Sun Management Center 3.0 server software and the add-on server software on the Sun Management Center server.
For details of how to install core Sun Management Center 3.0 server software, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide.
For details of how to install the add-on server software, see To Install the Sun Management Center Server Software.
4. Install Sun Management Center 3.0 agent software and the add-on agent software on the platform(s) to be monitored.
For details of how to install core Sun Management Center 3.0 agent software, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide.
For details of how to install the add-on agent software, see To Install and Setup the Sun Management Center Agent Component.
You must remove all existing packages from the server prior to installation of the new platform module packages.
Refer to Package Information for details of which platform-specific packages apply to your hardware.
1. Check which platform-specific server packages are already installed on the Sun Management Center server.
# pkginfo -l SUNWescps SUNWeschs SUNWescws | grep VERSION <response not shown> |
2. Remove all platform-specific Sun Management Center server packages that are already installed using the pkgrm command.
# pkgrm SUNWescps SUNWeschs SUNWescws |
3. Remove all shared Sun Management Center server packages for this product that are already installed using the pkgrm command.
# pkgrm SUNWesccs |
4. Remove the shared initialization component using the pkgrm command.
This step will break the agent if it is installed on the same host, however installation of the new packages will reinstate the required shared components.
# pkgrm SUNWescci |
1. Check which platform-specific agent packages are already installed on the monitored system(s).
For example, for the Sun Fire V210 server, type:
# pkginfo -l SUNWescpa SUNWescpl | grep VERSION <response not shown> |
For systems other than the Sun Fire V210, substitute the packages for your platform that correspond to SUNWescpa and SUNWescpl (if applicable), as listed in Package Information.
2. Remove all platform-specific agent packages using the pkgrm command.
For example, for the Sun Fire V210 server, type:
# pkgrm SUNWescpa SUNWescpl |
3. Remove all shared agent packages.
# pkgrm SUNWescda SUNWescdl SUNWescca |
4. Remove the shared initialization component, if you have not removed it already.
# pkgrm SUNWescci |
You can install only one set of agent packages per platform. Therefore, when you remove the platform-specific agent packages you should also remove the common agent packages.
Note - Do not delete the shared initialization component if the host is also the Sun Management Center host. If this is so, the shared initialization component might still be needed. |
This section describes the procedures for installing and setting up Sun Management Center 3.0 software on the supported platforms.
|
1. Log on to the monitored platform as root.
2. If the agent is running, stop it by typing:
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a |
3. Create a temporary directory and move to it.
# mkdir /var/tmp/<temp_directory> # cd /var/tmp/<temp_directory> |
4. Copy the platform-specific software archive file, symon_elsw_<ver>.tar. Z , to the directory you have created.
5. Uncompress and untar the file.
# zcat ../symon_elsw_<ver>.tar. Z | tar xvf - |
Note - The exact filename depends on the software release you have downloaded. |
6. Add the Sun Management Center platform agent package using the es-inst command.
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-inst |
When installation is complete, you are prompted to run es-setup to configure the software.
Note - The name of the Sun Management Center server depends on your own environment. |
7. When the installation is complete, you can delete the downloaded file from the temporary directory you created at Step 4, then delete the directory itself.
1. Make sure that the Sun Management Center 3.0 core packages are installed and set up on the Sun Management Center server.
For details of how to install core Sun Management Center 3.0 server software, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.0 Software Installation Guide.
2. Log on to the Sun Management Center server as root.
3. Create a temporary directory and move to it.
# mkdir /var/tmp/<temp_directory> # cd /var/tmp/<temp_directory> |
4. Copy the platform-specific software archive file, symon_elsw_<ver>.tar. Z, to the directory you have created.
5. Uncompress and untar the file.
# zcat symon_elsw_<ver>.tar. Z | tar xvf - |
Note - The filename depends on the software release you have downloaded. |
6. Add the Sun Management Center platform server package using the es-inst command.
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-inst |
When installation is complete, you are prompted to run es-setup to configure the software.
7. When the installation is complete, you can delete the downloaded file from the temporary directory you created at Step 4, then delete the directory itself.
1. Check that the localization packages listed in TABLE 2-6 are installed on the Sun Management Center Server.
# pkginfo SUNWcsccs SUNWfsccs SUNWjsccs SUNWhsccs SUNWksccs |
2. Remove the packages from the Sun Management Center server using the pkgrm command.
# pkgrm SUNWcsccs SUNWfsccs SUNWjsccs SUNWhsccs SUNWksccs |
