Making an Installation Image on Your Network

The Java ES distribution is designed so that you can put the installation files in a shared location. The benefit of this is that the installation files can then be run from this shared location as often as needed.

To Create an Image from the Compressed Archive

1. Log in as root or become superuser.

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

   mkdir shared-location/java_es-5u1

3. Access your installation files from the web site.

4. Create an installation image from the compressed archive. For example:

   cd shared-location/java_ent_sys_5u1 unzip pathname/java_es-5u1-ga-solaris-sparc.zip

5. Repeat this step for any other 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.
