Chapter 1 Installing Sun OTP Development Environment

This chapter describes the configurations supported by Sun OTP and provides the procedure to download and prepare Sun OTP software.

The following topics are discussed:

• Downloading and Preparing Sun OTP Software

• Deployable Configurations

Downloading and Preparing Sun OTP Software

This section describes the procedure for downloading and preparing Sun OTP media files.

The minimum free space required to prepare the ISO image is 10 GB.

The following table lists the ISO image zip files that are present for Sun OTP:

To Download and Prepare Sun OTP Software

1. Log in as root (su - root) to a server that is network-accessible by your Sun OTP system.

2. (Optional) Download and install the Sun Download Manager.

   Downloads of large files using browsers can sometimes fail. For this reason, use the Sun Download Manager to download Sun OTP installation zip files. For instructions about how to download, install, and use the Sun Download Manager, go to http://www.sun.com/download/sdm/index.xml.

3. Create a directory into which the installation zip files are to be saved.

   For example, /var/tmp/otp-download

4. Download the required Sun OTP installation zip files

   Refer to Sun OTP Image Zip Files to determine the files to download.

5. Verify whether the files are downloaded properly.

   1. Download the md5 checksum file md5list.txt.

   2. For each downloaded file, type the following command.

      /usr/bin/digest -a md5 filename

      where filename is the name of the downloaded file.

      Compare the md5 checksum value of this command with the corresponding md5 checksum value of the downloaded file in md5list.txt. The two values must be same for successful download.

6. Create a single Sun OTP ISO image.

   1. Unzip each of the ISO image zip files.

      For example:

      unzip otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-a.zip

      unzip otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-b.zip

      unzip otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-c.zip

   2. Concatenate the unzipped ISO files to a single ISO image.

      For example:

      cat otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-a otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-b \ otp-20-combined-dvd-iso-c > otp-20-combined-dvd.iso

7. Use any of the following methods to prepare the Sun OTP ISO image.

   1. Burn the Sun OTP ISO image to a DVD.

      Use the software that supports your DVD burner to create a DVD using this Sun OTP ISO image (for example, cdrw utility on a Solaris system).

      Ensure that you use the correct kind of media supported by your DVD burner. There are DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/DVD+RW recordable DVDs. All DVD burners do not support both media. Do not use DVD+R DL (dual layer) discs.

   2. Create an empty NFS-mounted directory and then mount Sun OTP to the NFS-mounted directory as follows:

      • Create an empty directory that will be used as the Sun OTP ISO image mount-point directory. For example: mkdir /var/OTP/otp-download

      • Add the mount-point directory name to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.

        For example: echo `share -F nfs -o ro,log=global -d "Sun OTP ISO mount \ point" /var/OTP/otp-download' >> /etc/dfs/dfstab

      • Disable and enable NFS.

        svcadm disable nfs/server

        svcadm enable nfs/server

      • Mount the Sun OTP ISO image to the mount-point directory. For example:

        mount -F hsfs -o ro `lofiadm -a /var/tmp/otp-download/otp-20-combined-dvd.iso` /var/OTP/otp-download

Deployable Configurations

You can deploy Sun OTP 2.0 in the following supported configurations.

Stand-alone Sun OTP System Without Zones

A stand-alone Sun OTP system is hosted on a physical hardware platform. In this configuration, all the Sun OTP components are deployed in the global zone.

The steps to deploy Sun OTP in this configuration are described in Chapter 2, Installing Sun OTP Using Sun OTP Bootable DVD.

Stand-alone Sun OTP System With Zones

In this configuration, Sun OTP components are deployed on the stand-alone system as follows:

• Sun OTP high availability service, Sun OTP application provisioning service, Sun OTP system management service, and shared components are deployed in the global zone.

• Sun OTP security service is deployed in the non-global zone.

Clustered Sun OTP System Without Zones

A clustered Sun OTP system consists of two or more hosts. In this configuration, all the Sun OTP components are deployed in the global zone.

Clustered Sun OTP System With Zones

In this configuration, Sun OTP components are deployed on the clustered system as follows:

• Sun OTP high availability service, Sun OTP application provisioning service, Sun OTP system management service, and shared components are deployed in the global zone.

• Sun OTP security service is deployed in the non-global zone.

Stand-alone Sun OTP System with Logical Domains

In this configuration, all the Sun OTP components are deployed inside a logical domain. This logical domain must be created before installing Sun OTP.
