Unpacking Session State Register Software

This section assumes that you are installing Steel-Belted Radius Carrier on your Solaris server for the first time or that you are installing Steel-Belted Radius Carrier in a directory other than the one used by previous installations — a clean installation.

These instructions may be used for unpacking software on any type of node host. Perform this step on each node host in the cluster before preceding to the next step.

Package Management Commands

The installer for the Solaris version of the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server software uses pkg files with filenames that include the edition and version of the server software.

To install the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server software on a Solaris server:

1. Log in to the Solaris server as root.
2. Copy the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier installation files from their download location to the Solaris server. Make sure to copy them to a local or remote hard disk partition that is readable by root.

This example copies the files from a download directory to the /tmp/sbr directory.

Execute:

gunzip -dc JNPRsbr.7.2.0.cl.sol.pkg.tgz

tar -xf JNPRsbr.7.2.0.cl.sol.pkg.tar 

4. Verify that the extraction worked and confirm the name of the package file.

Execute:

ls -ltr

7. Confirm the installation directory.

Depending on the system configuration, the script prompts you to create the /opt/JNPRsbr directory if it does not exist, over-write an already-extracted package, or any of several other questions.

The selected base directory </opt/JNPRsbr> must exist before installation is 
attempted.

Answer the question appropriately (or change the extraction path if necessary) so that the script can proceed.

To accept the default directory as a target, enter y.
The script resumes.
