How to Install and Set Up Change Manager Server Software After an Upgrade

Follow this procedure if you have just upgraded your Change Manager 1.0 server to run Sun Management Center 3.5 server software.

Note –

Though the graphical installation program and command-line installation program perform the same tasks, they might appear somewhat differently on the screen.

Become superuser.

Install the Change Manager 1.0.1 server software in one of the following ways:
- Install the Change Manager software by using the GUI.
  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-guiinst
- Install the Change Manager software by using the command line.
  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-inst

Specify the source directory of the Change Manager installation files.

For example, if the directory in which you downloaded the Change Manager 1.0.1 software is called /export/build/cm101, then specify this directory.

The installation program checks for add-on products to be installed.

Select the Change Manager product and any related patches to install.

The Change Manager software, patches, and if necessary, the Sun Management Center Web Console packages are installed.

After the installation completes, you are asked to run the setup.

Set up the Change Manager add-on product.

The Sun Management Center components are stopped.

Configure the add-on products only.

The wizard checks for preserved Change Manager data from a previous Change Manager installation.

Specify whether to use or discard the preserved Change Manager data.
- If you did not preserve data during the upgrade of the Sun Management Center server software, an empty database and repository are created.
- If you preserved data, you are prompted to use the preserved data.
  - If you want to use the preserved data, then the data is restored and available.
    
    Go to Step 8 to specify the password used to generate security keys.
  - If you do not want to use the preserved data, then the data is removed and the database is initialized.
    
    Go to Step 7 to specify the location of the Change Manager repository.

Specify the directory in which to create the Change Manager repository.

By default, the directory is /var/opt/ichange.

The repository must be a local disk slice, which should be allocated several gigabytes of disk space. To determine the amount of space you need, estimate the number and size of the Solaris Flash archives, Solaris boot image (about 200 Mbytes each in size), manifests, and other data you plan to store in the repository.

If /var/opt/ichange does not have sufficient disk space, then specify another directory that does.

Specify the password that was used to generate the security keys when you set up the Sun Management Center server.

Change Manager must use the same security keys as those used by the Sun Management Center server. To do this, you must specify the same password that you supplied when you set up the Sun Management Center server software. By using the same password, identical security keys are generated.

These security keys are used to configure the agent on the managed host after initial installation or update operations have been performed.

The Change Manager database environment is set up.

Specify the directory in which to create the Change Manager database.

By default, the directory is /var/opt/ichange.

If the /var/opt/ichange directory does not have at least 0.5 Gbytes of available disk space, specify another directory that does.

The Change Manager database setup is performed.

Specify whether to restart the Sun Management Center Web Console server.

If you are setting up Change Manager for the first time, then you must restart the Sun Management Center Web Console server. If you do not restart it, you cannot access the Change Manager web application.

The only time it is safe to restart the web console server is when no other users are using the web console. If you decide to wait to restart the web console server, you must restart it manually by running the /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver restart command.

If you decide to restart the web console server now, it is restarted.

Start the Sun Management Center agent and server components.

Starting the agent and server components takes a while.

After the installation completes, you can access the Change Manager user interfaces.

To access the browser interface, see How to Log In to the Change Manager Server (Web Browser).
To access the command-line interface, see Accessing the Change Manager Server by Using the Command-Line Interface.
