You can use the SolarisTM Web Start, JumpStartTM, Custom JumpStart, or Interactive installation method to install the Solaris 7 3/99 system software. For detailed instructions on installing Solaris software, see the publications Solaris 7 Installation Library and Solaris 7 Advanced Installation Guide on the Solaris 7 Documentation CD included with this product.
When the installation is complete, check the following files.
To view the install_log, begin.log, and finish.log files:
# cd /var/sadm/system/logs |
Use an editor to check the files.
If you use Solaris 7 as an install server, you need to modify the Solaris 7 /etc/nsswitch.conf file before you run add_install_client.
Go to this line in the Solaris 7 /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
hosts: xfn nis [NOTFOUND=return] files |
Remove the xfn entry so that the line looks like this:
hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files |
Run add_install_client from the Solaris 7 3/99 CD.
You need to install SolsticeTM AdminSuiteTM 2.3 patch number 104468-06 or any subsequent revision of this patch before you add OS services to your server. You will find the patch and installation instructions at http://access1.sun.com/private-cgi/patch2html?README.104468-06.
If you are using Solstice AdminSuite with a patched Solaris release in which it is inadvisable or impossible to remove all the patches, then you will need to have the following file to add OS services:
/var/sadm/patch/.mu_applied
This file is automatically created by the following MU releases:
2.5.1: MU3, MU4, and MU5
2.6: MU1 and MU2
7: MU1
With this workaround, Solstice AdminSuite is unable to track all the patches in a system. Use admclientpatch to add or remove patches to or from the system.
For a list of new platforms and the options that are available for this release, see the hardware manufacturer's documentation.
If you are unable to obtain the patch from access1.sun.com, go through your normal support channel.
When the installation is complete, check the following files.
To view the install_log, begin.log, and finish.log files:
# cd /var/sadm/system/logs |
