Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1a Release Notes

Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 Agent Installation from CD Fails

If you install the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1a CD image on a Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 7 agent, the installation fails because a decompression utility is missing.

Workaround: To get the decompression utility, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the web site http://sunfreeware.com.

  2. Click on the link for your operating system, either SPARC/Solaris 2.6 or SPARC/Solaris 7.

  3. Download the package bzip2-1.0.2 (SMCbzip2).

  4. Install the SMCbzip2 package:


    # pkgadd SMCbzip2

    The package is installed in /usr/local/bin directory.

  5. Create a soft link from /usr/bin/bzcat to /usr/local/bin/bzcat.


    # ln -s /usr/local/bin/bzcat /usr/bin/bzcat
  6. Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1a agent.
