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:
Table 1–1 Sun OTP Image Zip Files

DVD Label |
Files |
---|---|---|
Solaris SPARC bootable DVD ISO image |
DVD 1 |
otp-20-boot-sparc-dvd.iso-a.zip otp-20-boot-sparc-dvd.iso-b.zip otp-20-boot-sparc-dvd.iso-c.zip and so on |
Solaris x64 bootable DVD ISO image |
DVD 2 |
otp-20-boot-x64-dvd.iso-a.zip otp-20-boot-x64-dvd.iso-b.zip otp-20-boot-x64-dvd.iso-c.zip and so on |
Combined (SPARC and x64 ) non-bootable distribution |
DVD 3 |

Log in as root (su - root) to a server that is network-accessible by your Sun OTP system.
(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.
Create a directory into which the installation zip files are to be saved.
For example, /var/tmp/otp-download
Download the required Sun OTP installation zip files
Refer to Sun OTP Image Zip Files to determine the files to download.
Verify whether the files are downloaded properly.
Download the md5 checksum file md5list.txt.
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.
Create a single Sun OTP ISO image.
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
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 |
Use any of the following methods to prepare the Sun OTP ISO image.
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.
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
