How to Manually Install Components on Oracle Solaris 11 With Zones

Before You Begin

• To install Hardware Management Pack components manually, you must be logged into your system with root privileges.

• Download and extract the Hardware Management Pack. See Getting the Software.

  The directory that you extract the files to is referred to as extract-directory in this procedure.

• The packages for Hardware Management Pack have dependencies that must be satisfied for a successful installation. See Software Dependencies for more information.

• On the Oracle Solaris operating system, due to the restrictions of pkgadd(1M), the path that you extract the Hardware Management Pack to must not contain any spaces for the installation process to proceed.

• If your system includes adapters using technology from QLogic or Emulex, you must install the appropriate Third party utilities included with Hardware Management Pack. See Available Packages for Oracle Solaris 11.

• This procedure applies to servers with zones. See How to Manually Install Components on Oracle Solaris 11 Without Zones for a server without zones.

1. Determine which Hardware Management Pack components that you want to install. See Available Packages for Oracle Solaris 11.
2. Create a package repository at a suitable path.

   pkgrepo create path

   Where path is a path such as /var/tmp/OHMP

3. Publish the repository using the install files.

   pkgrecv -s extraction_directory/oracle-hmp-2.2.7-SunOS-5.11.p5p -d path '*'

   Where path is the path used in the previous step.

4. Set the publisher for the repository.

   pkg set-publisher -g file://path mp-re

   Where path is the path used in the previous step and mp-re is a name for the repository.

5. To install the packages, use the following command:

   pkg install pkg://mp-re/package-name

   Where mp-re is the name of the repository used in the previous step and package-name is one or more of the packages listed in Available Packages for Oracle Solaris 11.

   The selected packages are installed.
