Installing Software for the Solaris Operating Environment

To install Sun Remote System Control software from the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement CD, follow the instructions in the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement Roadmap, provided with the CD. To install from the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD, follow the instructions in the Sun Hardware Platform Guide, provided with the CD.

To download Sun Remote System Control software from the Web, follow the instructions at the Sun Enterprise 250 Web site:

http://sunsolve2.Sun.COM/sunsolve/E250/

After downloading the files from the Web, use the cd command to change to the directory where you stored the downloaded files, and enter the following command as root:

# sh RSC.sh

This command executes the RSC installation script. If you are logged in to a Sun Enterprise 250 server, the installation script displays the following screen:

Welcome to the SUN Remote System Control software installation
utility
You may install:
 1. The SUNWrscu package to enable the Remote System Control
hardware on this Sun Enterprise 250
 2. The SUNWrscj package to allow this Solaris system to control
a Remote System Control device of a Sun Enterprise 250
 3. Both of the above
Enter 1, 2 or 3 for one of the above choices, or q to exit this
script without installing anything: 

To install server software, enter 1. To install client software only, for controlling other Sun Enterprise 250 servers that have RSC software installed, enter 2. To install both the server and client software, enter 3.

If you are not logged in to a Sun Enterprise 250 server, the script displays the following screen:

Welcome to the SUN Remote System Control software installation
utility
This machine is not a Sun Enterprise 250, so you may install:
 1. The SUNWrscj package to allow this Solaris system to control
a Remote System Control device of a Sun Enterprise 250
Enter 1 to install the package, or q to exit this
script without installing anything: 

Enter 1 to install the client software (the RSC Java application).

After the RSC Java application is installed on a Solaris client, it resides in the directory /opt/rsc by default.

To run the RSC GUI Java application on a Solaris client machine, the client machine must have the Java Development Kit for Solaris version 1.1.5 or a subsequent compatible version installed. This software is included on the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement CD and the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD, and can be installed along with the RSC software from the CD. If you install RSC software from the Web, you must download the Java Development Kit from the following location: http://www.sun.com/solaris/java/
