Netra j 2.0 Installation Guide

Installation Notes

This section contains background information on Netra j and special installation instructions.

Brick Model Clients

If you are upgrading to Netra j 2.0 from a previous Netra version and are using Netra j to administer JavaStation brick model (JavaStation with microSPARC`-II) clients, you must modify the /etc/bootparams file.

The JavaOS directory has changed from:

 /export/root/JavaDesktop

to:

 /export/root/javaos/JDM1

Thus for each JavaStation, you must change the following line in the /etc/bootparams file:

javastation_name root=bootserver:/export/root/JavaDesktop boottype=:js

to:

javastation_name root=bootserver:/export/root/javaos/JDM1 boottype=:js

Installing Solaris Patches

When you install Netra j 2.0 using the install script, software patches for Solaris 2.5.1 and Solaris 2.6 are installed in the /netraj_install_directory/Patches directory. If you use Admintool to install Netra j 2.0, you need to follow this procedure to install the patches.

Note -

Man pages for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are located in the /netraj_install_directory/Patches/5.5.1/iss_man_dhcp_sparc-01 directory.

To Install Solaris Patches

  1. At a Command Tool prompt, enter the root directory as "superuser."

    % su Password: #

  2. Change to the patch directory for your version of Solaris.

    • If your system is running Solaris 2.5.1, type:

      # cd /netraj_install_directory/Patches/5.5.1

    • If your system is running Solaris 2.6, type:

      # cd /netraj_install_directory/Patches/5.6

  3. Type ls.

    The patch numbers are listed as subdirectories.

  4. Change to a patch subdirectory.

For example:

# cd 103891-05

  1. Type the following command.

    # ./installpatch .

Netra j Web Servers

Netra j requires two web servers. One web server resides at port 81 and serves the pages of the Netra j Administration Interface to a web browser. The other resides at port 80 and delivers the HotJava Views application to JavaStation computers during the JavaStation boot sequence.

Sun WebServer software is installed on your machine during the Netra j installation, and Netra j configures web servers at ports 80 and 81 as follows:

To Configure an Existing Web Server for Use With Netra j

  1. Create a symbolic link called jdt from the web server's document root directory to the HotJava Views document directory.

    # ln -s /opt/SUNWjdt/lib web_server_document_root/jdt

  2. Create a symbolic link called jdt from the web server's cgi-bin directory to the HotJava Views cgi-bin directory.

    # ln -s /opt/SUNWjdt/cgi-bin web_server_cgi_bin_directory/jdt

  3. Provide the web server with access to cgi programs and documents.

    In the access control file for the web server, provide access to web_server_document_root and to web_server_cgi_bin_directory.

GO-Joe Server Software

GO-Joe server software resides in the Misc directory on the Netra j 2.0 CD-ROM but is not automatically installed with Netra j 2.0. This software should be installed on the JavaStation X server, which can be the Netra j server itself or another system on the network. GO-Joe server software can be installed using either Admintool or pkgadd.

To install GO-Joe server software on a non-Solaris system, follow the vendor's instructions for adding a package to the system.

Note -

GO-Joe client software is installed on the Netra j server during the Netra j 2.0 installation. For information on setting up JavaStation computers to use GO-Joe client software, refer to the Netra j Administrator's Guide.

To Install GO-Joe Server Software Using Admintool

  1. Insert the Netra j 2.0 CD-ROM into the X server's CD-ROM drive.

  2. Mount the CD-ROM as described on "To Mount the Netra j 2.0 CD-ROM".
