Installing the Software Packages Manually |
This appendix describes how to install the Sun Trunking 1.3 software and the driver software manually. This appendix includes the following sections:
You cannot activate the Sun Trunking 1.3 software until the driver software is installed.
1. Verify the presence of the driver software:
Where package = SUNWqfed, SUNWged, or SUNWced
Where package = SUNWqfedx, SUNWgedx, or SUNWcedx
SUNWqfed, SUNWqfedx (for QuadFast Ethernet)
SUNWged, SUNWgedx (for Gigabit Ethernet)
SUNWced, SUNWcedx (for GigaSwift Ethernet and Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI/P)
If the command responds with packaging information, the packages are installed. If the packages are not installed, refer to your product documentation.
You can install the packages from the Solaris release media for the installed version of the Solaris operating environment. However, if you are using the Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 operating environment with Gigabit Ethernet, GiagaSwift Ethernet, or Dual FastEthernet and Dual SCSI/P adapters, install the packages from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM. The packages on the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM contain a pre-applied patch, so you will not need to install the required Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 patch for the driver after you install the driver packages from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM.
To Install the Gigabit Ethernet Software for Solaris 7 |
1. As superuser (root), change to the following directory:
media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM
unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.
2. Install the packages as follows:

To Install the GigaSwift Ethernet Software or Dual Fast Ethernet Software for Solaris 7 or 8 OS |
1. As super-user (root), change directories as follows:
Where x = 7 for Solaris 7, 8 for Solaris 8
media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM
unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.
Answer y for package installation questions.
Ensure that the latest patches are installed on your system.
Use the showrev command to see if the latest patches are currently installed.
If the following patches (or more recent versions) are present, proceed with the Sun Trunking 1.3 software installation. If the patch version is less than indicated below, install the patches as described in the next section.
The patches are installed in the various product directories. The following patch versions (or higher) are required to support Trunking 1.3:
To Install the Patches for Solaris 7, 8, or 9 OS |
1. Change to the directory of the desired patch area:
media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM
unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.
x = Solaris Version: 7, 8, or 9
network_product = GigaSwiftEthernet, GigabitEthernet, or QuadFast Ethernet
Where patch_id = See Verifying and Installing Driver Patches for the patch list.
To Install the Patches for Solaris 10 OS |
1. Change to the directory of the desired patch area:
unzipped Trunking_1_3_path = the directory path where the downloaded unzipped trunking directory is located
2. Install the required patch:
Where patch_id = See Verifying and Installing Driver Patches for the patch list.
Once the desired network Ethernet drivers are installed and updated, the Trunking packages can be installed.
To Install Trunking Packages for Solaris 7, 8, or 9 OS |
1. Change to the directory of the Trunking packages:
media_path = /cdrom/cdrom0, if you are installing from the Trunking 1.3 CD-ROM
unzipped Trunking_1_3_path/Trunking_1_3, if you are installing from a download file.
x = Solaris Version: 7, 8, or 9
Answer y for package installation questions.
To Install Trunking Packages for Solaris 10 OS |
1. Change to the directory of the Trunking packages:
unzipped_Trunking_1_3_path = the directory path where the downloaded unzipped trunking directory is located
