Step 3: Ensure Solaris is Installed

Ensure that a compatible version of Solaris is installed.

  • ACSLS Release 8.5.1 is designed to run on Oracle's Sun SPARC and X86 platforms running Solaris 11, Update 3, or Solaris 11, Update 4.
    • For Solaris 11, Update 3, Support Repository Update (SRU) 35 or later is required.
    • For Solaris 11, Update 4, Support Repository Update (SRU) 8 or later is required.
  • ACSLS Release 8.5.0 is designed to run on Oracle's Sun SPARC and X86 platforms running Solaris 11, Update 3. Support Repository Update (SRU) 35 is required.

The Oracle Solaris Product Pack can be obtained from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud:

https://edelivery.oracle.com

For installation procedures, refer to the Solaris installation publications.

Note:

Oracle recommends installing the entire Solaris distribution to ensure your installation includes the standard packages required for ACSLS operation.

Installing Missing Oracle Solaris Packages

If your installation is missing a standard Oracle Solaris package required for ACSLS operation, you must acquire and install the missing package.

Oracle Solaris packages are available at http://pkg.oracle.com.

For example, to find and install a missing unixodbc package:

  1. Visit http://pkg.oracle.com.
  2. In the search field, type unixodbc and click the Search button. To see more than the latest version of the package, use Advanced Search options.

    In the search results, the complete title of the package indicates the latest Solaris version,11.4:

    library/unixodbc@2.3.4,5.11-11.4.0.0.1.14.0:20180814T170705Z

    You can click the package name link to view version details including corresponding OS releases.

  3. From your Solaris platform, click the Installation link to install.

Alternative installation tips:

Use the pkg command directly from the command line on the platform:
pkg install pkg://solaris/library

The release is displayed:

/unixodbc@2.3.4,5.11-11.4.0.0.1.14.0:20180814T170705Z solaris

If that version is disallowed, supply the package name without the version:
pkg install pkg://solaris/library/unixodbc
