Required Software Packages

Solstice AdminSuite 2.3

The Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 product verifies that the following software packages are installed on systems running the Solaris 2.5 or later operating environment:

• SUNWadmc

• SUNWadmfw

• SUNWsadml

• SUNWmfrun

The SUNWsadml and SUNWmfrun software packages are automatically installed on systems running the Solaris 2.3, Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5, or Solaris 2.5.1 release. For systems running a version later than 2.5.1, you must go back to the Solaris CD-ROM and install these packages before you can install Solstice AdminSuite 2.3.

SunSoft Print Client

The SunSoft Print Client software assumes the following Federated Naming Service (FNS) packages are already installed on systems running the Solaris 2.5.1 operating environment.

• SUNWfns

• SUNWfnspr

These packages are automatically installed by the Solstice AdminSuite installation script on systems running the Solaris 2.3, Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5 or later release. For systems running a version later than Solaris 2.5.1, you must go back to the Solaris 2.5.1 CD-ROM and install these packages before you can install AdminSuite.

On systems running the Solaris 2.3 and Solaris 2.4 operating environment, the SUNWlibCf package must be installed to use the SunSoft Print Client software in the NIS+ name service. Obtain this package from the Solaris media used to originally install the system.

Removing Previously Installed AdminSuite Software

If you have installed an earlier release of the Solstice AdminSuite software (for example, Solstice AdminSuite 2.2), you must remove the old version prior to installing your new software. Refer to "Removing Previously Installed AdminSuite Software" for information about how to remove this software.

sysadmin Group Membership

To run admin_install, you must be a member of the sysadmin group (group 14). Additionally, you must belong to the sysadmin group on each host you specify during installation. See "Becoming a Member of the sysadmin Group" for more information.
