Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 1.1 Installation and Administration Guide

Configuring Solaris 10 Update 2

After completing installation of Solaris 10 Update 2 on the external OTP installation server or on an OTP host, you must configure Solaris 10 Update 2 as described in the following procedures before you can install the Open Telecommunications Platform on the OTP host.

ProcedureTo Update the /etc/default/nfs file

The Open Telecommunications Platform supports only NFS version 3. To ensure system integrity and availability, update the /etc/default/nfs file as follows:

  1. log in as root (su - root) to the server.

  2. Add the following line to the file /etc/default/nfs:

    NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX=3

  3. Save and close the /etc/default/nfs file.

Next Steps

Update the /etc/hosts file as described in the next procedure.

ProcedureTo Update the /etc/hosts file

The IP address and the name of the server must be added to the /etc/hosts on that server. Failure to add the IP address and name will cause Open Telecommunications Platform installation to fail.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the server.

  2. Verify that the /etc/hosts file has entries for loopback and the server primary and secondary Ethernet interfaces.

    1. Make certain that either of the following loopback entries is in the /etc/hosts file.

      127.0.0.1    localhost

      or

      127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost

    2. Make certain that an entry exists for the server primary and secondary Ethernet IP address.

      For example:

      111.11.111.11 server_name_interface1.domain_name
111.11.111.22 server_name_interface2.domain_name

      where:

      • 111.11.111.11 is the IP address of the primary Ethernet interface

      • server_name_interface1 is the primary name of the server being configured such as the external OTP installation server, the first OTP host, or the additional OTP host

      • 111.11.111.22 is the IP address of the secondary Ethernet interface

      • server_name_interface2 is the secondary name of the server being configured

      • domain_name is your corporate domain name

      The /etc/hosts should be similar to the following example.

      127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
10.11.123.15 management-server.company.com
10.11.123.16 management-server-port2.company.com

    3. Save and close the /etc/hosts file.

  3. Reboot the server.

Next Steps

Ensure port 162 is not in use as described in the next procedure.

ProcedureTo Determine Whether Port 162 is in use

The OTP system management service requires exclusive use of port 162 for SNMP trap notifications. To determine if port 162 is assigned to any process, proceed as follows:

  1. log in as root (su - root) to the server.

  2. Type grep 162 /etc/services to determine whether port 162 has been assigned to a process.

    • If only the command prompt is returned, then port 162 has not been assigned to a process. No further action is required.

    • If port 162 is assigned to a process on the server, then results similar to the following are displayed:


      # grep 162 /etc/services
snmpd     162/udp    daemon name     #daemon description

      You must disable the daemon or the application that is using port 162. To disable a daemon, refer to the operating system documentation. To disable an application that is using the port, refer to the application documentation.

Next Steps

Enable FTP on the server as described in the next procedure.

ProcedureTo Enable FTP

To manage clustered OTP systems using the OTP system management service, you must enable the FTP service.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the server.

  2. Enable the FTP service by typing the command svcadm -v enable network/ftp.

    The FTP service is enabled, and starts when the server is rebooted. After the system is rebooted, you can verify whether the FTP service has start using the inetadm command:


    # inetadm | grep network/ftp
enabled   online         svc:/network/ftp:default
Next Steps

Label all the disks available in the new OTP host.

ProcedureTo Label All the Disks Available in the New OTP Host

The Open Telecommunications Platform requires all the available disks to be labeled prior to the Sun OTP deployment. The boot disk is already labeled and should be excluded from the procedure. For all the remaining disks, perform the following steps.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the server.

  2. Start the format utility. The output similar to the following will be displayed:

    # format 


    Searching for disks...done
