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 installation and setup 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 receive 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.
See Appendix A to perform these functions using the command line interface (CLI).
Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Version 6 Release Notes for Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange Systems for information about obtaining the Sun Management Center 3.5 Version 6 add-on software.
The Sun Management Center add-on software packages for Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems correspond to the architectural layers of Sun Management Center. The following is an overview of these packages:
Provides libraries and other files needed by the Sun Management Center server to monitor supported Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems. This software must be installed on all Sun Management Center server systems in addition to the base Sun Management Center server software.
Provides libraries and other files needed by the Sun Management Center agent to monitor supported Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems. This software must be installed on all Sun Management Center-monitored Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems in addition to the base Sun Management Center agent software.
Provides scripts and Java
class files to support graphical user interface (GUI) setup, Agent update, and add-on installation and removal.
The minimum Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems firmware and operating systems supported in this release are described in the Sun Management Center 3.5 Version 6 Release Notes for Sun Fire Entry-Level Midrange Systems. Refer to that document also to learn about recommended patches for this release.
The dynamic reconfiguration (DR) add-on included in the Sun Management Center product does not work with Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems. Therefore, do not load the DR software on Sun Fire agents supported by this add-on.
Before beginning the add-on software installation process, you should know which systems in your network will function as servers and consoles, and which Sun Fire entry-level midrange systems will be monitored by the servers and consoles.
