Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Installation Guide

ProcedureTo Create an Image on Your Network

This section provides instructions for making a Solaris SPARC installation image available on your site network.

  1. Log in as root or become superuser.

  2. Create a shared directory on your network. For example:


    mkdir shared-location/comms5

  3. Access your installation files from the web site, the CD, or the DVD, then prepare the installation files to be shared.

    Note –

    Installation cannot be done directly from a mounted ISO image. Instead, the image must be copied onto your network.

    1. Create an installation image from the mounted ISO image. For example:


      unzip compressed-file.zip
lofiadm -a pathname/image.iso /dev/lofi/1

      If /dev/lofi/1 is already in use, refer to the lofiadm (1M) man page.


      mkdir mountpoint
mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 mountpoint
cd mountpoint
find . -print | cpio -pdum shared-location/comms5

      After copying is done, unmount the ISO image:


      cd
umount mountpoint
lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/l

      Repeat this step for the remaining ISO images.

    2. Create an installation image from the CD or DVD. For example:


      cd /cdrom/cdrom0
find . -print | cpio -pdum shared-location/comms5

      Repeat this step for the remaining CDs.

    3. Create an installation image from the compressed archive.

      For example:


      cd shared-location/comms5
unzip pathname/archive.zip

      Repeat this step for the remaining compressed archive files.

    Note –

    If you copy files for multiple platforms to the shared location, you will receive a query similar to the following in relation to the README file and the COPYRIGHT file:

    File already exists. OK to overwrite?

    Type Yes. These files are identical for all platforms.
