How-To Install Sun SFT

Sun SFT is a Solaris package download that is available with or without the Sun Automated Service Manager package. Download the Sun SFT-only package if you already have SUNWsasm installed.

  1. Install Service Tags

    If SUNWservicetags version 1.1.4 or higher is not already installed, download Services Tools Bundle from http://www.sun.com/service/stb/index.jsp and run its installer.

  2. For SFT-with-SASM bundle, extract packages from downloaded file:gunzip -c SUNWsftransport-*.tar.gz | tar xf -

    For SFT-only, uncompress downloaded package file:gunzip SUNWsftransport-.pkg.gz

  3. Install Sun Automated Service Manager: If SUNWsasm package is not already installed, run the following command: pkgadd -d SUNWsasm-*.pkg SUNWsasm

  4. Register SASM for data transport: /opt/SUNWsasm/bin/sasm transport -r

  5. Install the SFT Solaris package: pkgadd -d SUNWsftransport-{version}.pkg SUNWsftransport

    The actual file name may vary because it is based on the version number of your download. The actual file name will be similar to the above name.

  6. Provide the information requested during installation to configure the Sun SFT client.


    Note –

    When reinstalling or upgrading Sun SFT, the configuration files are preserved.
