Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0 User's Guide

Before You Begin

When you upload Solaris software, it must be in the form of a tarball, not a PKG.

  1. Make sure the software is a directory of files, not a PKG.

  2. Tar the directory: tar -cf name.tar /path/*

  3. Copy the tarball to the console machine.

    If you are using a console on Microsoft Windows, this procedure is not applicable. See Adding Solaris Software with a Script.
