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 Software from the command line interface (CLI). For more details, refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Software and Installation Configuration Guide.
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. A soft copy of the installation guide is on the Sun Management Center 3.5 CD, disk 3 of 3.
Also ensure that any required patches are installed on your system. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Release Notes for any required patches for this release.
The supplement software and document are on three CDs, which include the full Sun Management Center 3.5 software package. The CDs are labelled:
1. Install the Sun Management Center 3.5 software package on the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 domains.
a. To install only the Sun Fire supplement software, run the es-inst command in the sbin directory, in either the update CD or the directory where the Sun Management Center 3.5 software package was installed.
The es-inst script prompts you for a source directory.
b. Enter the source directory.
If you run the es-inst command from the installation directory and the CD is mounted on /cdrom/cdrom0, specify /cdrom/cdrom0/image as the source directory.
Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for information about the es-inst command and its options.
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 6800/4810/4800/3800 systems. Read the Caution and Note in Step 1 above.
The system displays the following message:
2. Type y for those products you want to install.
If you type y for all the add-ons, the system displays this message:
3. Type y to continue installing the add-on products.
Setting up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) on the system controller involves configuring SNMP on the platform and the domain. This section contains both procedures, and you need to do both:
Note - Do not set up multiple Platform Administration Agents to manage the same Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system controller. Doing so causes the system to run slowly or even hang. |
1. Access the system controller by using the telnet(1) command as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-1.
where schostname is the system controller host name.
2. At the system controller main menu, type 0 (or alternatively P or p) to enter the platform shell as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-1.
The platform shell prompt, schostname:SC, is displayed.
3. Type setupplatform -p snmp, and answer the questions as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-2.
For Trap Hosts, enter the host name of the Sun Management Center server from which you will perform platform administration.
4. Press and hold the CTRL key while pressing the ] key, to get to the telnet> prompt.
5. Type q to exit from telnet.
1. Access the system controller by typing the telnet command as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-3.
where schostname is the system controller host name. In CODE EXAMPLE A-3, domain A is shown as an example.
2. Enter a domain. Type 1, 2, 3, or 4 (or alternatively a, b, c, d, or A, B, C, D) to enter the proper domain shell as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-3.
The domain shell prompt, schostname:X, is displayed, where X is the domain that you have selected.
3. If the domain is active and the domain keyswitch is set to on, diag, or secure (you are running the Solaris operating environment, you are in OpenBoot PROM mode, or you are running POST), perform the following steps:
a. Press and hold the CTRL key while pressing the ] key, to get to the telnet> prompt.
b. At the telnet> prompt type send break.
CODE EXAMPLE A-3 shows a connection to domain A.
4. Type setupdomain -p snmp, and answer the questions as shown in CODE EXAMPLE A-4.
For Trap Hosts, enter the host name of the Sun Management Center server from which you will perform platform administration.
For Public and Private Community Strings, enter a different string for each domain and platform.
5. Type disconnect to exit the connection to the domain shell.
6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for each additional domain, if any.
7. Press and hold the CTRL key while pressing the ] key, to get to the telnet> prompt.
8. Type q to exit from telnet.
This section describes how to set up the agent and server layers.
To Set Up the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 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 3.0 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 Components.
To Set Up the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 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 6800/4810/4800/3800 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 Components.
The default platform administration module can monitor one Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system. To monitor more than one Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system, you must create one platform agent instance for each additional Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 system.
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 server, provide the same seed for this agent.
To Set Up a Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 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.
# ./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 Components.
If your user name is listed in the esusers file, you can log onto the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 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 6800/4810/4800/3800 server machine. These groups are:
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.
To Set Up the Domain Administration Module on the Sun Management Center Server |
# ./es-setup -p SunFireDomAdmin |
