Installing SDX Components as Solaris Packages

The SDX software is constructed as a set of standard Solaris packages. You can use the Solaris package tools directly to install and remove SDX components. The tools are available as standard UNIX commands accessible via a shell command line interface. See the Software Package Administration documentation for Solaris for detailed information. The following admin installation file is used:

mail=

instance=unique

partial=ask

runlevel=ask

idepend=nocheck

rdepend=ask

space=ask

setuid=nocheck

conflict=nocheck

action=nocheck

basedir=default

Refer to your Solaris documentation for more information about these settings. Also see the online UNIX man pages for admin(4). These settings are not configurable via the SDX GUI Installer.

CAUTION: The conflict=nocheck setting results in an automatic overwriting of existing files. If you use director links (hard or soft), they will be replaced automatically with files from the installation media.

To install individual SDX components:

1. On the UNIX host where you will install the SDX software, log in as root.
2. Load the SDX software CD, and access the CD directory.

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/

3. List the contents of the CD.

ls

Table 14 lists component directories and their contents.

4. Install the components using the UNIX pkgadd or admintool utility. For example, to install the UMCagent package:

pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/solaris UMCagent

Installing Solaris IP Filter Software

If your host system hardware is based on 64-bit processors, then you must install ipfx (the 64-bit IP Filter package) before you install ipf (the 32-bit IP Filter package). Both packages must be installed for a 64-bit Solaris system. For 32-bit processors, install only ipf. See SDX Components Guide, Vol. 2, Chapter 1, Core Concepts of the Residential Portal for information about configuring IP filter.

NOTE: For Solaris 8, install the IP Filter packages from the solaris8 directory on the SDX software CD. For Solaris 9, install the packages from the solaris9 directory.
