Platform Notes: The SunATM Driver Software

Installing the SunATM Software

Before installing and configuring the SunATM software, you must first install the SunATM adapter into your system and connect the adapter to an active network using the appropriate cable.

The following table describes the SunATM software packages.

Table 1-1 SunATM Software Packages

Package 

Description 

SUNWatm

Contains the device driver software 

SUNWatmu

Contains the man pages and the files required to configure an ATM Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management system 

SUNWatma

Contains the SunATM interim Application Programmers' Interface (API) libraries and header files 

Note -

For basic ATM functionality, the SUNWatm package is the only required software package.

To Install the SunATM Software from the Sun Computer Systems Supplement CD-ROM

  1. Install the SunATM software as described in the Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide that shipped with these Platform Notes.

    The SunATM packages will be installed in the following directories:

    • SunATM Device Drivers and Utilities (SUNWatm) go into: /kernel/mod, /kernel/mod/sparcv9, /kernel/drv, /etc/init.d, /kernel/drv/sparcv9, /etc/opt/SUNWconn/atm, /etc/rcS.d, /etc/rc2.d, and /etc/opt/SUNWconn/bin.

    • SunATM Runtime Support Software (SUNWatmu) goes into /opt/SUNWconn/atm and /opt/SUNWconn/man.

      Note -

      Man pages contained in the SUNWatmu package go into /opt/SUNWconn/atm/man and will have symbolic links in /opt/SUNWconn/man. (To view these man pages, add the /opt/SUNWconn/man directory to your system's $MANPATH environment variable.) Interim API examples will go into /opt/SUNWconn/atm/examples.

    • SunATM Interim API (SUNWatma) will go into /opt/SUNWconn/atm/include, /opt/SUNWconn/atm/lib, /opt/SUNWconn/include and /opt/SUNWconn/lib.

Checking the Package Installation Using pkgchk

Once the package is installed, you can use the pkgchk command to see if the installation was complete:


# /usr/sbin/pkgchk SUNWatm

You can specify multiple packages at the command line by separating the package names with a space. If you do not specify a package identifier, the entire contents of the machine are checked.

Checking the Package Installation Using pkginfo

Check the SunATM software installation by using the pkginfo command:


# /usr/bin/pkginfo | grep SUNWatm
system       SUNWatm   SunATM Device Drivers
application  SUNWatma  SunATM Interim Api Support Software
application  SUNWatmu  SunATM Runtime Support Software

Removing the Software Packages Using pkgrm

If you are superuser, you can remove one or more packages with the following command:


# /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWatm SUNWatma SUNWatmu

In this example, the pkgrm command will remove the SUNWatm (SunATM Device Drivers and Utilities), SUNWatma (SunATM Interim API Support Software), and SUNWatmu (SunATM Runtime Support Software) packages.
