Solaris 7 Sun Hardware Platform Guide

Installing the Sun Computer Systems Supplement Packages

You should install the supplement packages as needed from the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD.

  1. Insert the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD.

  2. Log in as superuser on the SSP and share the CD-ROM: 

    ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0

  3. Log in as superuser in the netcon(1M) window.

  4. Create and mount the /cdrom directory and add the SUNWabhdw package: 

    domain_name# mkdir /cdrom
domain_name# mount ssp_name:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom
domain_name# cd /cdrom/Product
domain_name# pkgadd -d . SUNWabhdw

    Note -

    Perform this step only for those domains in which you want to use the AnswerBook files. In the Solaris 2.6 operating environment, the SUNWxntp packages were replaced by the SUNWntp packages, which are installed by the suninstall utility.

    The pkgadd(1M) command may display several messages and ask several installation questions for each package, some relating to space, others asking whether it is OK to continue. After answering these questions, and when asked whether to proceed, answer Yes.

    The pkgadd(1M) command installs the following package:

    Table 6-5 Sun Computer Systems Supplement Packages

    Includes Cluster/Package 

    Description 

    SUNWabhdw

    Solaris 7 on Sun Hardware Collection AnswerBook 

  5. Install the SSP 3.1 Y2000 sys_id patch: 

    ssp# cd cdrom/Patches/106281-01
ssp# ./installpatch .

  6. Install the SSP 3.1 Y2000 patch: 

    ssp# cd ../106282-01
ssp# ./installpatch .

  7. If needed, add the Online Validation Test Suite Software (SunVTS(TM)): 

    ssp# cd ../../Product
ssp# pkgadd -d . SUNWvts SUNWvtsmn SUNWvtsx

    The SUNWCvts cluster includes the following packages.

    If you need more information about the SunVTS software, refer to SunVTS 3.0 User's Guide.

  8. If necessary, install and configure the Sun(TM) Enterprise Volume Manager(TM) software.

    If you need more information about the Sun Enterprise Volume Manager, refer to the Solaris 7 on Sun Hardware Collection AnswerBook.

  9. If needed, install and configure the preloaded Sun(TM) Enterprise NetBackup(TM) software.

    The Enterprise NetBackup product has been included with your system. To configure and customize the software to your requirements, refer to the Sun Enterprise NetBackup and Media Manager Installation Guide.

  10. Configure the NTP packages.

    Perform the following steps to configure the ntp.conf file, which resides at /etc/inet/ntp.conf.

    1. Log in to the domain as superuser.

    2. Open the ntp.conf file in your text editor.

    3. Edit the file so that it resembles the following example: 

      # example Starfire domain /etc/inet/ntp.conf 
# configuration file ntp.conf 
# for Solaris 7
# substitute actual ssp name for <ssp-name> 

server <ssp-name> prefer
# we can always fall back to the local clock.
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 9
 
# Other ntp files.
driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift
 
# Encryption:
disable auth
controlkey 1
requestkey 1
authdelay 0.000793
 
# precision declaration
precision -18 									 		 # clock reading precision (1 usec)

      Each domain should use the SSP as its source for time, and the SSP should use at least two other sources, besides its internal clock, to avoid a single point of failure in case the SSP's clock fails. For more information about NTP commands, refer to.Man Pages(1M): Network Time Protocol Commands.

  11. In the netcon(1M) window, unmount the CD: 

    domain_name# cd /
domain_name# umount /cdrom

  12. Log in to the SSP as superuser and remove the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD from the CD-ROM drive: 

    ssp# cd /
ssp# unshare /cdrom/cdrom0
ssp# eject cdrom

  13. Install and configure any other purchased software packages.

  14. Check the operating mode: 

    domain_name# isalist

    If you are running in 64-bit mode, you should get the following output: 

    sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 
sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc

  15. Reboot the domain with the proper operating mode.

    For the Solaris 7 operating environment, you can use either the 32-bit mode or the 64-bit mode. The 64-bit mode is the default for most sun4u platforms.

    1. For 32-bit mode, type the following command: 

      domain_name# boot boot_alias kernel/unix

    2. For 64-bit mode, type one of the following commands.

      If you are not already in 32-bit mode, use the following command: 

      domain_name# boot boot_alias

      If you are switching from the 32-bit mode, use the following command: 

      domain_name# boot boot_alias kernel/sparcv9/unix
