Installing Container Manager Software

You can install the Container Manager add-on software either using the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 installation wizard or the command line. This section discusses how to install the software using the installation wizard. For more information about installing using the command line, see Appendix A, Installing Using the Command Line.

The Container Manager software can be installed at the following times:

• At the same time that you install the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 software.

• At the same time that you upgrade your existing Sun Management Center 3.5 installation to Update 1, as part of the upgrade procedure.

• After you have completed your installation of, or upgraded to, Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1. In this case, you install the Container Manager software individually.

The Performance Reporting Manager software must also be installed if you want to use the performance and accounting data features of Container Manager. For more information about installation and setup of this software, see “Performance Reporting Manager Installation and Setup” in Sun Management Center 3.5 Performance Reporting Manager User's Guide. If you do not intend to use these features, you do not need to install this add-on software.
