Installing SunVTS

There are several utilities available for installing packages. This chapter describes how to use the pkgadd utility to load SunVTS from a local CD-ROM drive. For information on how to install packages using swmtool, see the Solaris 7 Sun Hardware Platform Guide.

Installation Requirements

• Your Solaris environment must be installed and booted to the multiuser level. See note below)

• You must be superuser.

• There must be at least 32-Mbytes of available disk space in the partition where SunVTS will reside. The /opt directory is the default installation location.

SunVTS revision 3.0 was first introduced, and designed to run in the Solaris 7 operating environment.

To Install SunVTS With the pkgadd Command

1. Log in to the system and become superuser.

   At the prompt, type:

   ---

   ariela% su
   

   ---

2. Check to see if SunVTS is currently loaded on the system:

   At the prompt, type:

   ---

   # pkginfo | grep SUNWvts
   

   ---

   If the system does not display anything then SunVTS is not installed.

   If you see the following message, then SunVTS is installed:

   ---

   system      SUNWvts        Online Validation Test Suite
   

   ---

   ---

   Note -

   Multiple versions of SunVTS should never be installed in the same directory. Use pkgrm to remove existing installations of SunVTS before reinstalling SunVTS. See "Removing SunVTS".

   ---

3. Load the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD into the CD-ROM drive.

   Volume Manager will automatically mount the CD.

4. Install SunVTS using pkgadd as shown in one of the examples below.

   • The following command will load SunVTS in the default directory (/opt):

     ---

     # pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Product SUNWvts
     

     ---

   • The following command will prompt you to enter the directory where SunVTS will reside instead of using the default (/opt) directory.

     ---

     # pkgadd -a none -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Product SUNWvts
     

     ---

5. Answer the installation questions.

   ---

   Note -

   You may see this warning: Warning: The <SUNWsycfd> package "Sun Enterprise SyMON Agent" is a prerequisite package and should be installed.This warning will not prevent the successful installation or execution of SunVTS. This error indicates that the configd program (part of the SUNWsycfd) is not present. The configd program is necessary for the physical mapping feature of SunVTS. Load the SUNWsycfd package if the physical mapping feature is desired. SUNWsycfd is located on the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD.

   ---

6. Install the SunVTS supporting packages that are appropriate for your configuration. (See "SunVTS Packages" for more details.)

   ---

   # pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Product SUNWvtsx SUNWodu SUNWvtsmn
   

   ---

   ---

   Note -

   Use the -a none again if you used it for the installation of SUNWvts.

   ---

7. Verify the presence of the SunVTS packages:

   ---

   # pkginfo  SUNWvts SUNWvtsx SUNWvtsmn SUNWodu
   system      SUNWodu        online Diagnostic Utilities
   system      SUNWvts        Online Validation Test Suite
   system      SUNWvtsmn      Online Validation Test Suite
   Man Pages
   system      SUNWvtsx       64-bit Online Validation Test
   Suite
