Installation and Setup |
This chapter describes how to install, set up, uninstall, reinstall, and reconfigure the Sun Management Center software for the Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers using Sun Management Center Wizards. It includes the following sections:
You can also install and set up the software using a command-line interface (CLI) using the es-inst and es-setup commands. Refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide for information about using the CLI for installation.
Sun Management Center software is provided in three ways:
Support for Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers requires the Sun Management Center core packages and the add-on software for Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers. The Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide describes basic information about installing, setting up, starting, and stopping the Sun Management Center software. This chapter describes the processes specifically related to Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 servers.
Sun Management Center software and the add-on software for specific hardware platforms must generally be installed in three places:
|
Caution - Use the installation scripts and the setup scripts provided with the Sun Management Center software. Do notmanually add packages or manually change configuration files. |
Your Sun Management Center scripts or Wizard panels might not display exactly the same messages in exactly the same sequence as the examples shown in this supplement. However, these examples show the basic messages you will see in approximately the sequence you will receive them. Your actual installation and setup scripts depend on the add-on components you choose to install and other choices you make.
For information about general Sun Management Center prerequisites, refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide.
For information about minimum requirements for your current release of this add-on software, refer to the Sun Management Center Add-On Software Release Notes for the current release.
In some cases, this default port configuration conflicts with software already running on your system. Some Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 server domains might have port 161 conflicts because of the presence of legacy agents. During the Sun Management Center software setup process, specify an alternative network port to avoid this conflict. Refer to the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide for further information about solving port conflicts.
To create and access topology objects, the Sun Management Center agent layer software uses port 161 by default. If you configure an agent to use an alternative port, you must specify that port when the topology object is created or discovered. To simplify your Sun Management Center network configuration and management and enable more efficient discovery of Sun Management Center agents, choose an alternative port number and use that number for all agent installations that cannot use the default port configuration.
For information about default network port configuration, refer to Reference: setsunmc and showsunmc Man Pages and Reference: Network Port Configuration.
For the add-on software to support Service Processor failover on high-end servers, you must set up the takeover IP address of the active Service Processor (such as lan#0). Refer to the man pages for XSCF commands setnetwork(8) and setroute(8) for more detailed information.
You can use the Discovery Manager to populate administrative domains automatically. Refer to the chapter "Adding Objects to the Topology Database Using the Discovery Manager" in the Sun Management Center User's Guide for detailed information.
When defining and initiating a Discover Objects request for Sun SPARC Enterprise Mx000 server domains, you must change the default community string for SNMP to oplsunmc in the SNMP section of the Preferences tab. Refer to "To Set Preferences for a Discover Objects Request" in the Sun Management Center User's Guide for instructions.
To set up the software on the domains, you must also set the SNMPv1 community string to oplsunmc when setting up the software on the domains. Refer to Setting Up the Add-On Software Using the Sun Management Center Setup Wizard.
With Sun Management Center software, you can install, set up, uninstall, and update the software in several different ways. You must also set up access privileges for users. TABLE 2-1 lists the various methods with a cross-reference to the information in this supplement and the Sun Management Center Installation and Configuration Guide.
