Installing the Sun Fire Link Add-on Software Using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation Wizard

This section provides a summary of installing Sun Management Center 3.5 base software and Sun Fire Link add-on software using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation Wizard. Chapter 6, Installation and Setup, of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide, describes in detail how to install all the software.

• You can install the base console, server, and agent layers either separately or in combination.
• You can install the Sun Fire 15K/12K or 6800 Platform Agent on any machine where you have Sun Management Center 3.5 software running.
• You can install the Sun Fire 15K/12K or 6800 Domain Agent only on Sun Fire 15K/12K or 6800 domains.

1. As superuser, run the es-guiinst script as described in Chapter 6, "Installation and Setup," of the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

After the base software is installed, the Select Add-on Product screen provides a selectable list of add-on products that you can install.

2. Select those add-ons that apply to Sun Fire Link systems, and click Next.

Setting Up the Sun Fire Link Add-on Software Using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Setup Wizard

This section describes how to set up the Sun Fire Link add-on software using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Setup Wizard. The four Sun Fire Link add-on components are:

• Sun Fire Link Manager (Fabric Manager)
• Sun Fire Link Cluster Node
• Sun Fire Link Switch
• Sun Fire Link Server

Generally, you would not be setting up all four components at once. Rather, you probably would be setting up one or two of the components on any single node. The Sun Management Center 3.5 Setup Wizard recognizes which components are installed and only displays panels that are relevant to setting up these installed components.

1. Do one of the following:

• Click Next at the end of the installation to start the setup.
• Type es-guisetup to start the Sun Management Center Setup Wizard.

Once the Sun Management Center base software setup is complete, the Select Add-on Products panel appears listing the add-on products by platform installed on your system. In FIGURE 3-2 Sun Fire Link is the add-on product or platform installed.

 FIGURE 3-2 Select Add-on Products Panel

2. Click Next to start the Sun Fire Link Setup.

The Welcome to Sun Fire Link Setup panel appears listing the add-on components that are installed. In FIGURE 3-3 the Sun Fire Link Server was not installed.

 FIGURE 3-3 Welcome to Sun Fire Link Setup Panel

3. Go to one of the following procedures, depending on what add-on component you are setting up first.

• To Set Up Instances of the Sun Fire Link Manager
• To Set Up Sun Fire Link Cluster Nodes

1. Click Next to continue.

The Java Runtime Environment panel appears showing the default path to the Java Runtime Environment.

 FIGURE 3-4 Java Runtime Environment Panel

3. Click Next to continue.

The Configuration Files panel appears allowing you to specify a directory for storing the configuration files.

4. Do one of the following:

• Select a configuration directory if no directory is displayed.

The directory where you store configuration files should be a subdirectory of /var/opt/; for example, /var/opt/fab2data.

• Keep the pre-existing configuration directory as displayed on the panel.

Caution - If there is a pre-existing configuration directory specified, do not change the setting, or you will invalidate all currently running fabrics and fabric data.

5. Click Next to continue.

The RMI Port panel appears showing the default RMI port number.

 FIGURE 3-5 RMI Port Panel

6. Do one of the following:

• Keep the default RMI port as shown.
