Requirements for Using the Solaris Plug-In

Requirements for Master Server

The Solaris Plug-In 4.0 runs in the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 environment. Do not install the Solaris Plug-In 4.0 on any other version of the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System.

To deploy Solaris patches, packages, and zones, make sure that the following two parts of the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System are installed on the Master Server from which you want to deploy:

• CLI (command-line interface)

• Remote Agent

Requirements for Target Hosts

Any host on which you intend to deploy Solaris patches and packages must meet the following requirements:

• Run the Solaris 7, Solaris 8, Solaris 9, or Solaris 10 Operating System (OS).

  ---

  Note –

  Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 on SPARC® based servers only

  ---

• Run the Remote Agent. The Remote Agent must be run as the root user.

Any host on which you intend to deploy Solaris 10 zones must meet the following requirements:

• Run the Solaris 10 Operating System.

• Meet the operating system requirements for hosting zones.

• Run the Remote Agent. If you are using TCP/IP as the network protocol for the provisioning system, run the Remote Agent as the root user. If you do not want to run the Remote Agent as the root user, use SSH as the network protocol.
