Sun Management Center 4.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

ProcedureTo Install Sun Management Center on the Remote Machine

  1. Log in as root on the local machine.

  2. Change to the Sun Management Center installation disk 1 sbin directory.

    • If you are installing from disk, then Change to the /cDiskMountDir/sbin directory.

      During the installation process, you might be prompted to change the disks depending on your selections.

    • If you are installing from a image, Change to the /image-dir/disk1/sbin directory, where image-dir is the directory either where you copied the installation images, or where you downloaded the installation image from the Web.

  3. Run the es-inst installation script, and specify the remote host machine using the -R path/remote parameter.


    #./es-inst -R path/remote

    where path/remote is the full path to the remote machine. For example, if the remote host path and name is /net/remote-server, you would type:


    local-machine# ./es-inst -R /net/remote-server

    You are prompted for the Solaris version running on the remote machine.

  4. Type the Solaris version running on the remote machine.

    See To Prepare the Remote Machine, Step 7.

    You are prompted for the remote host machine type.

  5. Provide the remote host machine type.

    Type the machine type string that you generated in To Prepare the Remote Machine, Step 8. Alternately, if you copied the generated text to a file on the local host, you can paste the machine-type string in answer to the prompt.

    Note –

    The steps that are required to complete installation of Sun Management Center on a remote host are the same steps that are required for the default Sun Management Center install.

  6. Complete the installation.

    • If a prior version of Sun Management Center is installed on the system, you are asked whether you want to migrate the data from the previous Sun Management Center version. Go to To Install Using es-inst, Step 6.

    • If a prior version of Sun Management Center is not installed on the system, you are prompted for the target directory. Go to To Install Using es-inst, Step 7.

    Note –

    Remote installation on to a Solaris 10 system is supported only from another Solaris 10 system.
