Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 2.0 Installation Guide

ProcedureTo 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
