Install SunVTS (Optional)

This chapter provides instructions for installing SunVTS, which supports the Sun Fire Link high-performance cluster interconnect for the Sun Fire 15K/12K and Sun Fire 6800 systems. Installing SunVTS is not necessary for the Sun Management Center 3.5 Sun Fire Link add-on component to work.

Install the SunVTS Software

The Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 operating environments require different versions of the SunVTS software.

Solaris 8 - SunVTS 4.6 FCS

Solaris 9 - SunVTS 5.1 FCS

The SunVTS packages, including those that support Sun Fire Link, are listed below. Install all packages on each domain of the Sun Fire Link cluster.

Operating Environment	SunVTS Package Name	SunVTS Package Description	Dependencies
Solaris 8	`SUNWvts SUNWvtsx`	Core SunVTS Core SunVTS (64-bit)	`...` `SUNvts`

1. Insert the software supplement CD-ROM supplied with the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating environment CD-ROM. This supplement CD-ROM contains the SunVTS core software packages.

2. Install the SunVTS core software:

For the Solaris 8 operating environment:

# cd $S8_BASEDIR/SUNWvts_4.6

# pkgadd -d . SUNWvts

# pkgadd -d . SUNWvtsx

where $S8_BASEDIR is the root directory for the SunVTS packages in the Solaris 8 path.

For the Solaris 9 operating environment:

# cd $S9_BASEDIR/SUNWvts_5.1

# pkgadd -d . SUNWvts

# pkgadd -d . SUNWvtsx

where $S9_BASEDIR is the root directory for the SunVTS packages in the Solaris 9 path.

3. Verify that the packages are installed.

For the Solaris 8 operating environment:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWvts

system      SUNWvts       ...

system      SUNWvtsx      ...

For the Solaris 9 operating environment:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWvts

system      SUNWvts       ...

system      SUNWvtsx      ...

4. Apply any patches identified in the Sun Fire Link Release Notes.

5. Repeat the SunVTS installation procedure on each domain of the Sun Fire Link cluster.
