Installation

Before You Begin

The Desktop Manager requires an installed Java Web Console version 2.2.5 or higher. Please ensure that a valid version is installed on your system. To determine whether you have a valid version, become the super-user (root) and execute:

# smcwebserver status

The Java Web Console 2.2.4 is part of the Solaris^TM 10 operating system, however the Desktop Manager requires version 2.2.5 or higher. A copy of version 2.2.5 is provided in the Desktop Manager archive in the server/console directory. It can be installed by running ./setup in that directory.

If the Java Web Console is not installed on your system, or the installed version is not valid for the Desktop Manager, refer to the instructions in Chapter 4, Java Web Console to first install or update the Java Web Console. Afterwards return to this chapter to continue the Desktop Manager installation.

Steps

1. Download the Desktop Manager zip archive and extract the content in a temporary directory

   # unzip SunDesktopMgr-1.0.zip

2. Become the super-user (root) and execute the setup script via

   # cd SunDesktopMgr-1.0/<platform>/server/manager # ./setup

3. View the setup script's output for any errors.

   If the installation was performed successfully, the setup script will automatically restart the Java Web Console and you can access the Desktop Manager with a Web browser.
