Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 2.0 Installation Guide

Installing Sun OTP Using Sun OTP Bootable DVD Image

This section describes Sun Open Telecommunications Platform (Sun OTP) installation using Sun OTP bootable DVD image on a stand-alone host without zones.

To Install Sun OTP Using Sun OTP Bootable DVD Image

This is the recommended procedure on how to install Sun OTP for developer workstation installation/configuration. In this procedure, all the OTP services are installed in the global zone. All the OTP services are installed through the plans in Sun OTP application provisioning service.

Before You Begin

Refer to Appendix B, Sun OTP Hardware and Software Requirements to determine which hardware is qualified and the hardware requirements.
Review the disk drive partition requirements described in Table 2–1.
Set up a naming service such as DNS, NIS, NIS+, or /etc/hosts and all host names and IP addresses must be set up on that naming service. See System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
Prepare the worksheet for the installation. Refer to Stand-alone Sun OTP Host Plan Worksheet.

Install Solaris OS from the bootable OTP DVD.

Refer to Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Basic Installations or Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Solaris Flash Archives (Creation and Installation) for more information.
- On SPARC systems
  1. Insert the bootable Sun OTP DVD.
    
    Note –
    The bootable DVD for SPARC contains the hybrid flash image that can be used for deploying the sun4v and sun4u hardware architecture platforms.
  2. Start the installation from the bootable DVD by typing the following command:
    
    boot cdrom
    
    This will prompt you for an interactive Solaris installation.
  3. Respond to the system identification and configuration screens.
  4. From the Solaris Interactive Installation screen, select F4_Flash install.
  5. From the Flash Archive Retrieval Method screen, place the X symbol on Local File and press F2_Continue.
  6. From the Flash Archive Addition screen, provide the /cdrom/Solaris_10/otp_sparc.flarc path and then press F2_Continue.
    
    Continue to respond to the remaining screens until the installation starts and completes.
  7. When the system reboots, insert the installation DVD.
- On x64 systems
  
  Caution –
  Installation does not ask for the partitioning or image name. The first disk is chosen automatically and OTP default disk formatting is applied. The existing data, if any, is overwritten.
  1. Select CDROM as a boot device in BIOS.
  2. Respond to the system identification and configuration screens.
  3. When the system reboots, insert the installation DVD.

Set up the self-contained Sun OTP provisioning server on the stand-alone host.
1. Log in as root (su - root) to the stand-alone host.
2. Add the logical host name and the logical IP address to the /etc/hosts file.
3. Set up the Sun OTP provisioning server on the stand-alone host.
  
  /opt/SUNWotp/cli/setupExternalInstallServer -M mediadir -N single -R SSH -P passwordfile -L logicalhost -I logicalip
  
  mediadir is the fully qualified path name to the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory. The media directory is the path where the installation DVD is mounted.
  
  logicalhost and logicalip are unused logical host names and logical IP addresses.
  
  passwordfile is the absolute path of the password file. You can create this file in your home directory. The password file must contain a line with a valid password for the Sun OTP provisioning server. The password can be 8 to 12 alphanumeric characters.
  
  Note –
  Once you set up the Sun OTP provisioning server with this password, the user name to access the Sun OTP provisioning server is otpadmin and the password is the password in the password file.
  
  The password specified in this step and the password that will be specified during the Setup Configuration plan must be the same.

Prepare the Sun OTP hosts.
1. Install the remote agent on the Sun OTP host.
  
  /opt/SUNWotp/cli/setupRemoteAgent -c SSH mediadir
  
  mediadir is the fully qualified path name to the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory. The media directory is the path where the installation DVD is mounted.
2. Configure SSH for the remote agent.
  
  /usr/bin/passwd n1spsotp
3. Initialize the SSH keys.
  
  su - spsotp
  
  cat /var/otp/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh n1spsotp@hostname "tee >> /export/home/n1spsotp/.ssh/authorized_keys2"
  
  hostname is the host name of Sun OTP host.

Open a browser and log in to the Sun OTP application provisioning service on the stand-alone host.

Go to the URL https://install server:9090 where install server is the IP address or the fully-qualified name of the Sun OTP provisioning server.

Type the user name and password.

The user name is otpadmin. The password is the password provided in the password file while setting up the Sun OTP provisioning server.
