To Create the OTP Installation Directory on the External OTP Installation Server

Before You Begin

• The OTP 1.1 installation source must be available, either on DVD-ROM, or as an NFS-mounted directory on a server in your network as described in Downloading and Uncompressing the OTP and Solaris OS Software

• Solaris 10 Update 2 must be installed on the external OTP installation server

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

2. Create the OTP installation directory /otp1.1.

3. Copy the OTP installation source files to /otp1.1.

   • If you purchased the OTP Installation DVD-ROM, copy the contents of /cdrom/otp_11_dvd/otp1.1 to the /otp1.1 directory. For example:

     # cp -r /cdrom/otp_11_dvd/otp1.1/* /otp1.1

   • If you downloaded the OTP installation source to an external download server as described in Downloading and Uncompressing the OTP and Solaris OS Software, copy the contents of the NFS-mounted /otp1.1 directory on the download server to the /otp1.1 on the external OTP installation server.

     For example, if the name of the download server is downloads and the domain is mycompany, you would then type:

     # cp -r /net/downloads.mycompany/otp1.1/* /otp1.1

4. NFS-mount the /otp1.1 directory.

   1. Add the fully-qualified path name of the /otp1.1 installation directory to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.

      For example:

      share -F nfs -o ro,log=global -d "OTP 1.1 Installation Directory" /otp1.1

      This eliminates the need to type long directory path names during installation.
