N1 SPS Plans

This section describes the order of installing N1 SPS plans,plan re-runs, plan configuration files, and utility plans.

The following topics are discussed in this section:

Order of Installing N1 SPS Plans

A plan orchestrates deployment of multiple components.

To install Sun OTP, N1 SPS plans must be installed in the following order:

Setup Configuration
Patch
Install Availability Service
Configure Availability Service
Configure Solaris Containers (optional)
Setup Shared Storage (optional)
Install System Management Service
Install Provisioning Service
Install Security Service
Configure Components
Install Web SSO

Plan Re-runs

Plan re-runs provides an option to re-run specific plans instead of reinstalling Sun OTP from the beginning. Plans can be re-run multiple times irrespective of the previous state of the plan.

The following plans can be re-run:

Set up Configuration
Configure Solaris Containers
Sun OTP system management service
Sun OTP application provisioning service
Sun OTP security service
Configure Sun OTP services for high availability

When you re-run a plan, plan re-runs read the registry and determines the state of the plan. Based on the state of the plan, plan re-runs perform the following actions.

The following are the possible actions of plan re-runs:

If you are running the plan for the first time, plan re-run runs the plan and updates the registry with the appropriate state.
If you are re-running a successful plan, plan re-run completes without performing any installation.
If you are re-running a failed plan, plan re-run uninstalls and reinstalls the components.

Plan Configuration Files

Plan configuration files are the variable sets provided by N1 SPS. You can create component variables for your plans using the variable sets. The Setup Configuration plan provided by Sun OTP accepts all the component variables and validates the variables provided in the variable set.

The following table lists the component variables used by Sun OTP plans. See Sun OTP Plan Settings Description for descriptions of each component variable.
