Simplified Installation
DSEE includes several features that improve the way in which the component products can be installed.
Automated Installation From the Command Line
DSEE provides flexible commands for each step of the installation process so that you can write custom scripts to install and minimally configure a DSEE instance. You can then use your scripts to standardize your deployment so that each server is automatically configured the same.
To see an example of an automatic installation, run the Install_DSEE6.sh and Setup_DS_Service.sh scripts from the Evaluation Kit on any Solaris 10 server. These scripts install and configure an entire directory service from the command line.
Non-Root Installation
Directory Server allows you to install the DSEE components as a non-root user. This non-root installation is possible with the zip distribution as well as the Java Enterprise System installer. Operating system-specific packaging formats, such as SVR4 for Solaris and rpm for Linux, require installation as a privileged user.
Note –
You must be the root user to install the Directory Service Control Center.
User-Specified Installation Path
Both the zip distribution and Java Enterprise System distribution provide the ability to install DSEE components into a user-specified installation directory.
Multiple Separate Installations
With the zip distribution, you can install multiple distinct installations of the component products within a single operating system instance. You can even install the zip distribution on a system with an existing directory server installation. The following constraints apply when installing multiple installations on a single system:
-
Each instance must be configured so that the total resources (RAM, CPU, and disk) that areconsumed by the sum of all instances on the server do not exceed the available resources.
-
Each installation must have its own distinct installation path.
-
Each installation must have its own agent port.
With the introduction of Solaris 10 zones, you can also install different versions and installations of the package version of DSEE. In this case, each installation must be contained within its own unique Solaris 10 whole root zone.
To make managing zones easier, the zonemgr tool is included with the Evaluation Kit. For the correct usage and examples of zonemgr, go to:
