Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Installation Guide

Single-Session Installation Examples

The following examples apply to installing on a single host in a single session:

Evaluation Example

An evaluation installation is generally considered a trial deployment, that is, a quick installation to see how things go. This example uses the graphical interface and the Configure Now type When you are presented with configuration pages, you accept defaults wherever possible.

This example installs all the Communications Suite and Java ES product components except Sun Cluster software on a single host in a single installation session. Because Web Server is used as the web container, Application Server is not installed.

ProcedureTo Develop a Sequence for Evaluation

The following high-level tasks are required:

  1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

    Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.

  2. Checking the installation prerequisites

    Check to see what tasks you might need to perform for this installation before starting.

  3. Starting the graphical installer

    Use either the graphical or text-based installer.

  4. At component selection, choosing Select All, then deselecting the Application Server and Sun Cluster software product components

    The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

  5. Verifying installation directories

  6. Selecting the Configure Now type

    Messages indicate which product components cannot be configured during installation.

  7. Accepting configuration defaults when they are offered

    If you want to use non-default information, review the appropriate configuration tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.

  8. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

  9. Completing post-install configuration

    Chapter 6, Completing Communications Suite Postinstallation Configuration contains instructions for post-install configuration.

  10. Starting the product components

    Verifying After Post-Installation Configuration contains the preferred Communications Suite startup sequence. Startup procedures follow the table.

Instant Messaging Only Example

This example describes installation of only Instant Messaging in a single session. It is not uncommon for Instant Messaging to be installed in a separate installation session after other product components have been installed and configured.


Note –

If you are using single sign-on or Access Manager managed policies, Access Manager is required. For guidelines, refer to Instant Messaging and Access Manager Example.


Sequence Issues

If you are deploying other product components with Instant Messaging, the other product components must be configured before configuring Instant Messaging. Communications Suite product components that are commonly used with Instant Messaging include Messaging Server, Calendar Server, and Portal Server (with Access Manager).


Note –

Portal Server installation is not documented in this guide. See the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX for information on Portal Server.


ProcedureTo Develop a Sequence for Instant Messaging

The following high-level tasks are required:

  1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

    Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.

  2. Checking the installation prerequisites

    Check to see what tasks you might need to perform for this installation before starting.

  3. Running the installer

  4. At component selection, choosing Instant Messaging

    Directory Server and Directory Preparation Tool are automatically selected. If you do not select a web container, you will be prompted to select either Web Server or Application Server to fulfill the Instant Messaging requirement for a local web container.

  5. Resolving incompatibilities

    The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

  6. Verifying installation directories

  7. Selecting the Configure Later type

    Instant Messaging cannot be configured during installation.

  8. Running the installation

  9. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

  10. Completing post-install configuration

    Configuring Instant Messaging After a Configure Later Installation

  11. Starting Instant Messaging (after starting any other product components that Instant Messaging might depend on)
