Acquiring the OS Provisioning Plug-In

Acquiring the OS Provisioning Plug-In is a two-step process. First, you must add the package file that contains the OS Provisioning Plug-In JAR file to your system. Then you must import the OS Provisioning Plug-In JAR file. Perform the following steps to add the plug-in to your Master Server.

1. Add the file containing the JAR file:

   The OS Provisioning Plug-In is packaged as a plug-in to the N1 Service Provisioning System software. The plug-in files for the OS Provisioning Plug-In are available from the N1 SPS 5.2 DVD or from the Sun Download Center.

   Once the package file is added to your system, the OS Provisioning Plug-In is available for import from two different JAR files. Choose the correct file depending on your situation.

   • If you are importing the OS Provisioning Plug-In for the first time, acquire the n1-basedir/com.sun.n1osp/com.sun.n1osp_3.0.jar file.

   • If you have already imported the previous version of the OS Provisioning Plug-In, acquire the n1-basedir/com.sun.n1osp/Upgrade/com.sun.n1osp_2.0_3.0.jar file.
