To Set Up Container Manager Individually

Steps

1. As superuser (su –), start the Sun Management Center setup wizard by typing:

   # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-guisetup

   where /opt is the directory in which Container Manager is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

   The Container Manager setup wizard appears and guides you through the setup process for the software. The Overview panel appears first. Click the Next button to move through the wizard. Use the Back button to make corrections by moving back through the wizard.

   ---

   Note –

   If you have installed more than one Sun Management Center add-on product, the setup wizard for each product appears automatically. Each wizard guides you through the setup process for its add-on product. Each new setup wizard appears automatically after the setup process is completed for the previous add-on product. The setup wizard for the Container Manager software might not be the first to appear.

   ---

2. Review the list in the Stopping Components panel.

   The Sun Management Center components must be stopped before the setup process can continue. The Advanced Setup Options panel appears if you have completed the setup process for some of the add-on products installed. The remaining add-on software can be set up now.

3. Select the Configure Add-ons option.

   The add-on software that was recently installed but not yet set up is now set up.

4. Review the list of products in the Setup Complete panel.

   The Select Add-on Products panel appears. All products newly installed on the system that will be set up are listed. You can also run setup again on any product that was previously set up.

5. Review the list of products to confirm that Container Manager appears as a product to be set up. Click Next to start the setup process.

   A progress panel appears while all components are being set up.

6. When setting up the agent layer, if processor sets are detected that are not associated with a resource pool, a panel requests permission to delete these sets. Select from the following options:

   • Yes – These processor sets will be deleted from the system. In order for Container Manager to function correctly, any processor set that is not associated with a resource pool must be removed. This removal is necessary because projects need to be associated with the pools. After this selection, these processor sets are automatically deleted for you, and the setup process continues.

   • No – These processor sets will not be deleted from the system. After this selection, the setup wizard exits and the Container Manager software is not set up on the system. You are unable to use the Container Manager software on any host that has processor sets that are not associated with a resource pool.

   • Cancel – The setup wizard exits. The Container Manager software is not set up on the system.

7. Type the valid user names separated by commas. These users must already be present in the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers file on the server machine, and must be assigned to either esadm or esdomadm group.

   Note –

   Solaris Container Manager setup does not authorize the users.

8. When setting up a server layer installation, provide the full path to a directory that has at least 300 Mbytes free disk space for the database and click Next.

9. After the progress bar in the Container Manager DB Configuration panel completes, click Next.

10. To invoke the Start Wizard, click Next.

    After the setup procedure is complete, you have the option to start the Sun Management Center processes. For more information, see Chapter 8, Starting and Stopping Sun Management Center, in Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
