Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Installation Guide

Chapter 3 Installing the SEAS 3.0 Products

This chapter contains instructions for installing SEAS. For information on product licenses and obtaining extra licenses, see section "Ordering Additional Licenses".

Note -

Before installing SEAS, carefully read Chapter 2, Preparing Your SEAS Installation and this chapter to ensure that all installation requirements, including pre-install product updates, have been met and that you have collected the information you may need to supply during the installation.

Installing SEAS with the Installation Wizard

The easiest way to install the SEAS products is to use the Solaris Web Start WizardTM, available on the product CD. You need the root password to proceed with a Web Start installation. When you have completed the installation of SEAS, see the sections listed below for further instructions.

Note -

When you install the SMC with SEAS, you will be able to launch any of the SEAS products and special configuration wizards. If you do not install the SMC during the SEAS installation and change your mind during the current installation, you must first complete the current installation, restart the SEAS Web Start installation wizard, and then choose Custom installation which will give you the option to select the SMC.

Follow these steps to install the SEAS products using the Solaris Web Start Wizard.

Be sure to install any recommended or required patches. Refer to the Patches section in the Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Release Notes.

Installing SEAS Products Without Web Start

The installation program at the top level of the SEAS product CD installs all the SEAS products. In addition, each product has its own directory on the CD from which you can install individual products. Running one of the installer programs as installer -nodisplay in a terminal window installs the corresponding product without asking questions, using all default choices. See "Packages Available With SEAS 3.0 Products" for a list of the available product packages.

Be sure to install any recommended or required patches listed in the Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Release Notes.

How to Install SEAS Products Without Web Start

  1. Insert the SEAS product CD in the CD-ROM drive.

    A File Manager window opens to display files included on the CD. One of these files is named installer. There is an installer file for installing SEAS and one for installing each individual SEAS product.

  2. Open a terminal window and, if necessary, become root.

  3. In the terminal window, change directory to point to the directory on the SEAS product CD which contains the installer program for the product you want to install.

  4. In the terminal window, type the command: 

    installer -nodisplay

    This will install the product with its default values.

If you want to manage the SEAS products using the Solaris Management Console (SMC) from a system other than the server on which SMC is installed, you should also install the Solaris Management Console. To install the SMC using the installer -nodisplay command, change directory to point to the directory on the SEAS product CD that contains the installer program for the SMC and install it from the product CD.
