Installing Third-Party RPMs Required by the Sun N1 System Manager

This section provides the procedures for installing additional RPMs required by the Sun N1 System Manager. The following topics are discussed:

• To Download and Install the Internationally Compliant Perl Module

• To Download, Make, and Install the Simplified Chinese Perl Module

To Download and Install the Internationally Compliant Perl Module

Steps

1. Log in as root on the N1 System Manager management server.

2. Open a web browser and find a site that provides the perl-5.8.3-16.i386.rpm file for download.

3. Download the perl-5.8.0-88.4.i386.rpm file to a directory on the management server.

4. In a terminal window, change directory to the location where you saved the RPM file.

5. Type rpm -i perl-5.8.3–16.i386.rpm to install the Perl module.

Next Steps

• If you are installing in the Simplified Chinese locale, then download, make, and install the Simplified Chinese Perl Module as described in To Download, Make, and Install the Simplified Chinese Perl Module.

• If you are not installing in the Simplified Chinese locale, go to Enabling FTP on the Management Server.

To Download, Make, and Install the Simplified Chinese Perl Module

This procedure is required only if you are installing the N1 System Manager in the Chinese locale

Steps

1. Log in as root on the N1 System Manager management server.

2. Ensure your locale is set to Simplified Chinese.

   In a terminal window, type echo $LANG to display the system locale setting. For example:

   # echo $LANG zh_CN.gb18030

   If the language locale is not zh_CN.gb18030, set the locale by typing export LANG=zh_CN.gb18030.

3. Open a web browser and go to http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Encode-HanExtra-0.10.

   The browser displays the Encode-HanExtra-0.10 download page.

4. Click Download and save the Encode-HanExtra-0.10.tar.gz file to a directory on the management server.

5. In a terminal window, change directory to the location where you saved the Encode-HanExtra-0.10.tar.gz file.

6. Unpack the Encode-HanExtra-0.10.tar.gz file.

   1. To unpack the tar file, type gunzip Encode-HanExtra-0.10.tar.gz.

   2. To unpack the modules, type tar -xvf Encode-HanExtra-0.10.tar.

7. Change directory to Encode-HanExtra-0.10.

8. To update the system Encode.pm database with the Simplified Chinese encoding, type the following commands in sequence.

   Wait for each command to complete before typing the next command in the sequence.

   # perl Makefile.PL # make # make test # make install

Next Steps

• If you plan to manage SPARC-based provisionable servers, enable FTP as described by Enabling FTP on the Management Server.

• If you do not plan to manage SPARC-based provisionable servers, update the /etc/hosts file as described by Updating the /etc/hosts File.
