How to Deploy a Solaris Package or Datastream Package Without a Response File

If the package you want to install does not include a request script that requires responses, follow the steps below to use the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System to install the package.

Before You Begin

Obtain the package that you want to install.

The Sun N1 Service Provisioning System does not check for package dependencies. Be sure to install packages in the proper sequence to account for package dependencies.

Steps

1. In the left control panel, under Common Tasks, click the Solaris link.

   The Common Tasks for the Solaris Plug-In appear in the right panel of the browser interface.

2. Create a Package component.

   • If you want to deploy a Solaris file system package, click the Solaris Package Component Type: Create Package Component link.

   • If you want to deploy a Solaris datastream package, click the Solaris Datastream Package Component Type: Create Datastream Package Component link.

3. In the left control panel, under Application Deployment, click Components.

4. From the list of components, click the component that you created.

5. (Optional) Edit the component variables by clicking the Edit button.
