SEAM Installation and Release Notes

How to Copy the SEAM Image to a Local File System

If you do not want to leave the SEAS 3.0 CD mounted on a server while SEAM installations are occurring, then copying the packages from the SEAS CD is the best way to make the SEAM image available. The packages require about 50MB. This procedure requires that you have the SEAS 3.0 CD available on the server.

Become root on an NFS server.

Copy the SEAM image from the SEAS 3.0 CD to a local file system.

# cd /export
# mkdir SEAM
# cd /cdrom
# find .install products/Sun_Enterprise_Authentication_Mechanism_1.0 -print|
        cpio -dump /export/SEAM

Note -

The last line is split on two lines to make it readable, but should be entered as one command.

Export the file system.

To make the configuration files available for all installations, /export or /export/SEAM needs to be NFS-mountable by all hosts.
1. Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.
  
  Add an entry for either /export or /export/SEAM if one does not exist.
  share -f nfs -ro /export/SEAM
2. Start the NFS services.
  
  If this is the first share command or set of share commands that you have initiated, the NFS daemons are probably not running. The following commands kill the daemons and restart them.
  # /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

Where to Go From Here

Now that an area has been prepared to store the configuration file, you can follow the steps in "How to Preconfigure SEAM Installations ".
