Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 1.0 Installation and Administration Guide

Preparing the New OTP Hosts for OTP Installation

Before you can install OTP to the new OTP hosts, you must set up the OTP provisioning service remote agent on each host, and then add the host to the production OTP host as described in the following procedures.

The following topics are discussed:

ProcedureTo Install the Service Provisioning Remote Agent on a New OTP Host

The following steps must be performed on each new OTP host.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the new OTP host.

  2. Install the OTP CLI package.

    Type pkgadd -d /net/OTP install directory/Products/packages -R / SUNWotpcli where OTP install directory is the installation source directory you created in Step 8 of the procedure To Download and Uncompress the OTP and Solaris OS Installation Zip Files.

    For example, if the installation server name is otpinstall, and the NFS-mounted installation directory is /otpinstall/otp1.0, you would then type:


    # pkgadd -d /net/otpinstall/otp1.0/Products/packages -R / SUNWotpcli
    

    The directory /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI is created.

  3. Install the service provisioning remote agent.

    Type/opt/SUNWotp10/CLI/setupRemoteAgent install directory where install directory is the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory. For example:


    # /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI/setupRemoteAgent  /net/otpinstall/otp1.0
    

    The setupRemoteAgent script creates the service provisioning account, installs the patches needed by the remote agent, and installs the remote agent.

Next Steps

Add each new OTP host to the production OTP host as described in the following procedure.
