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 proceeding to the next step.

Uninstall Steel-Belted Radius Carrier.

To install the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server software:

On the 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:

    mkdir -p /opt/tmp

    cp -pR /tmp/sbr/solaris/* /opt/tmp/

  3. Extract the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier installation package.

    For 64-bit Solaris, execute:

    cd /tmp/sbr

    ls -ltr

    Execute:

    gunzip sbr-cl-8.6.0.R-1.sparcv9.tgz

    tar xf sbr-cl-8.6.0.R-1.sparcv9.tar

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

    For 64-bit Solaris, execute:

    ls -ltr

  5. Install the package.

    Execute:

    pkgadd -d /tmp/sbr

  6. Type all and press Enter.

    The script resumes.

  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.

    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.

  8. Confirm that you want to continue to install the package. Enter y.

On the Linux server:

  1. Log in to the Linux server as root.

  2. Copy the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier installation files from their download location to the Linux 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:

    mkdir -p /opt/tmp

    cp -pR /tmp/sbr/linux/* /opt/tmp/

  3. Execute cd /opt/tmp/.

  4. Install the package.

    To install the 64-bit SBR package, execute:

    sbr-cl-8.6.0.R-1.el7.x86_64.rpm on RHEL 7.3 or later.

    See Linux for supported RHEL versions.

  5. Installation proceeds and SBR is installed at /opt/JNPRsbr/radius/install.
