Creating a Sun Enterprise 10000 System Running Trusted Solaris 8

The following are examples of creating recommended Trusted Solaris 8 configurations on a Sun Enterprise 10000:

• A New Sun Enterprise 10000 Server with No Domains

• An Existing Sun Enterprise 10000 Server with Domains

The examples are very high level. Each site should create a detailed plan that best fits the site and site security requirements.

A New Sun Enterprise 10000 Server with No Domains

1. On the SSPs, install the Trusted Solaris 8 operating environment and Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3.

2. Create each domain and install the Trusted Solaris 8 operating environment on each. If alternate pathing is required, install Trusted Solaris AP 2.3.

An Existing Sun Enterprise 10000 Server with Domains

1. Back up the current SSP environment.

2. On the spare SSP, install the Trusted Solaris 8 operating environment and Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3. Restore the SSP environment on the spare SSP so that the spare is synchronized with the main SSP.

3. Switch the SSPs so that the spare SSP is now the main SSP. The main SSP is now running Trusted Solaris 8 and Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3

4. On the new spare SSP, install the Trusted Solaris 8 operating environment and Trusted Solaris SSP 3.3. Restore the spare SSP environment so it is synchronized with the main SSP.

5. To replace each Solaris domain with a Trusted Solaris domain, install the Trusted Solaris 8 operating environment on each domain. If alternate pathing is required, install Trusted Solaris AP 2.3.
