If you require Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software on the Solaris 8 OS, you must obtain Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software from the prior distribution of Sun Java Enterprise System, Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4. This version is located at http://www.sun.com/software/javaenterprisesystem/previous/index.xml.
Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software is the same version in both the 2005Q4 and 5 releases of Sun Java Enterprise System. However, the installation of software on the Solaris 8 OS is no longer supported in the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 version of the installer utility.
To ensure successful installation of Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software on the Solaris 8 OS, perform the following steps:
Install Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software from the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 distribution.
Install all required patches for Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software.
If you are also installing Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software on the Solaris 8 OS, use the pkgadd command to install the software from the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 distribution. See installation instructions in the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition documentation.
