Manually Installing the Solaris OS and the Remote Agent on a New OTP Host

The following procedure provides the steps for manually installing the Solaris OS and service provisioning remote agent on a new OTP host.

ProcedureTo Manually Install the Solaris OS and the Remote Agent on a New OTP Host

  1. Install the Solaris OS on the OTP host as described in described in To Install Solaris 10 Update 2 on the External OTP Installation Server.

    The requirements and procedures for installing the Solaris OS on a new OTP hostare identical to those for the external OTP installation server.


    Note –

    Ensure that you specify Entire Distribution Plus OEM and that you partition the OTP host disk drive as described in Table 3–1.


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

  3. Configure the Solaris OS on the OTP host as described in Configuring Solaris 10 Update 2.

  4. If you did not create the /globaldevices file system on the OTP host, create the file system as described in Creating the /globaldevices File System on the OTP Hosts.

  5. Install the SUNWotpcli package on the OTP host.

    Type the command:

    pkgadd -d /net/OTP_install_server.domain_name/media_path/Products/packages -R / SUNWotpcli

    where OTP_install_server is the name of the external OTP installation server, domain_name is your company's domain name, and media_path is the fully qualified path of the OTP installation directory on the external OTP installation server.

    For example, if the name of the external OTP installation server is otpsource, your company domain name is mycompany.com, and the OTP installation source directory is otp1.1, you would then type:


    # pkgadd -d /net/otpsource.mycompany.com/otp1.1/Products/packages -R / SUNWotpcli
    
  6. Install the service provisioning remote agent on the OTP host.

    Type the command

    /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI/setupRemoteAgent OTP_installation_directory

    where OTP_installation_directory is the fully qualified path to the NFS-mounted OTP installation source directory you created on the external OTP installation server as described in To Create the OTP Installation Directory on the External OTP Installation Server.

    For example, if your external OTP installation server is named otpsource, the domain name is mycompany.com, and the NFS-mounted OTP installation directory on otpsource is /otp1.1, you would then type:


    # /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI/setupRemoteAgent  /net/otpsource.mycompany.com/otp1.1
    

    The setupRemoteAgent script creates the service provisioning user account and installs the remote agent.

Next Steps

When you have completed installing and configuring Solaris 10 Update 2 and the remote agent on each OTP host, install the Open Telecommunications Platform on the OTP host.
