Using the CLI to Install, Set up, Uninstall, Start, and Stop Sun Management Center Software

This appendix describes how to install, set up, uninstall, start, and stop Sun Management Center Software from the command line interface (CLI). For more details, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Software and Installation Configuration Guide.


Installing the Software

First ensure that Sun Management Center 3.5 software is installed on your system. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions about installing this software.

Also ensure that any required patches are installed on your system.


procedure icon  To Install the Supplement Software Using the CLI

1. To install only the Sun Fire supplement software, run the es-inst command in the sbin directory where the Sun Fire Midrange add-on software was installed.

The es-inst script prompts you for a source directory.

2. Enter the source directory.

Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for more information about the es-inst command and its options.



caution icon

Caution - If the general Sun Management Center 3.5 software package is already installed, and you are installing only the Sun Fire supplement software, enter n (for no) when you are prompted to begin the setup process. Entering y (for yes) may cause the loss of any customized setup information, such as security keys.





Note - If you are installing the full Sun Management Center 3.5 software package, you have the option of running the setup script at the end of the installation procedure. If you choose not to run the setup script at that time, you can run it later. The setup script (es-setup) is in path/sbin, where path is the directory where the Sun Management Center software is installed. This step sets up all Sun Management Center agents, including the platform agent.



3. Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 software package on any systems (agent machines) that you will use for platform administration on the Sun Fire Midrange Systems. Read the Caution and Note in Step 1 above.

The system displays the following message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Management Center Product Selection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following Add-On Products are available for your selection:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Fire Domain Administration
Dynamic Reconfiguration for Sun Fire High-End and Midrange platforms
Sun Fire Platform Administration
 
Do you want to install the product: Sun Fire Domain Administration? [y|n|q]
Do you want to install the product: Dynamic Reconfiguration for Sun Fire High-End and Midrange platforms? [y|n|q]
Do you want to install the product: Sun Fire Platform Administration? [y|n|q]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Type y for those products you want to install.

If you type y for all the add-on software, the system displays this message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following Add-On Products will be installed:
Sun Fire domain Administration
Dynamic Reconfiguration for Sun Fire High-End and Midrange platforms
Sun Fire Platform Administration
 
Do you want to proceed? [y|n|q]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Type y to continue installing the add-on products.


Setting Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module Using the CLI

Before you set up this software you need to perform the following:

The setup has three parts:

Setting Up the Agent and Server Layers

This section describes how to set up the agent and server layers.


procedure icon  To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module on an Agent Machine

If the agent machine has both server and agent layers, this procedure automatically sets up both layers.

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the PUn_path/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin directory, where n is the number of the Platform Update, and PUn_path is the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Run the es-setup.sh script:

To set up this module for the default platform agent instance, type:

# ./es-setup.sh

The script asks for this information:



Tip - This script can be run again to change the information provided in the previous setup.



The Sun Management Center software ships with one platform agent named "platform."

When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. For more on how to start, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.


procedure icon  To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module Server Layer Only on the Server

This procedure sets up only the server layer. To set up the server, agent, and console layers on a server, see To Set Up the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module on an Agent Machine.



Note - If you chose to set up only the server layer (without a console or agent layer), user groups are not automatically added to the /etc/group file unless you use the -S option, as shown in this procedure. For a list of user groups, see TABLE A-1.



1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the PUn_path/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin directory, where n is the number of the Platform Update, and PUn_path is the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Run the es-setup.sh script with the -S option:

# ./es-setup.sh -S

When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. The Sun Management Center 3.0 software ships with one platform agent named "platform. For more on how to start, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.


Creating and Setting Up a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Agent Instance

The default platform administration module can monitor one Sun Fire midrange system. To monitor more than one Sun Fire midrange system, you must create one platform agent instance for each additional Sun Fire midrange system.


procedure icon  To Create a Platform Agent Instance

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin.

3. Run the es-platform script:

# ./es-platform -a instanceName 

where instanceName is the name of a new platform agent instance.

This script asks for the port number for the new platform agent and the security seed. If you used a seed other than the default when setting up the Sun Management Center server, provide the same seed for this agent.


procedure icon  To Set Up a Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Module for a New Platform Agent Instance

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Go to the directory where Sun Management Center software is installed.

For example, if Sun Management Center software is installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, go to the directory /opt/SUNWsymon/addons/SunFirePltAdmin/sbin.

3. Type:

# ./es-setup.sh -I instanceName 

where instanceName is the name of a new platform agent instance.

The es-setup.sh script asks for this information:



Note - This script can be run again to change the information provided in the previous setup.



When the module has been set up, you can start the appropriate agent. For more on how to start, see Starting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI.


procedure icon  To Assign Users to Administrator and Operator Groups

If your user name is listed in the esusers file, you can log onto the Sun Fire midrange system, where you have read-only access for domain administration agents. In order to read and/or write platform or domain information under the platform agent, your user name must also be listed in the group file on the server.

The setup procedure creates up to 10 groups on the Sun Fire Midrange Systems server machine. These groups are:

TABLE A-1 User Groups

Group Name

User Category

Type of Access

spltadm

Administrator

Platform

sdaadm

Administrator

Domain A

1. Become superuser by using the su command.

2. Add each user to the appropriate group in the file /etc/group.

3. Add each user to the file /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/esusers.
