Installation and Setup |
This chapter describes how to install, set up, start, stop, uninstall, reinstall, and reconfigure the Sun Management Center 3.5 software for the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems.
The Sun Management Center software is divided into:
Sun Fire 15K/12K support requires the Sun Management Center 3.5 base packages and the add-on Sun Fire 15K/12K packages. The Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide describes basic information about installing and setting up the Sun Management Center 3.5 base packages and starting and stopping the software. This chapter describes the processes specifically related to the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems.
|
Caution - Use the installation scripts and the setup scripts provided with the Sun Management Center 3.5 software. Do not manually add packages or manually change configuration files. |
Your Sun Management Center 3.5 installation and setup scripts or GUI panels may not display exactly the same messages in exactly the same sequence as the examples shown in this chapter. However, these examples show the basic messages you will receive in approximately the sequence you will receive them. Your actual installation and setup scripts depend on the add-on components you choose to install and other choices you make.
The Sun Fire 15K/12K system-specific packages received with the Sun Management Center 3.5 basic functionality, and the minimum size required for installation in kilobytes (KB) are listed in TABLE 2-1. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for information about general Sun Management Center prerequisites, including minimum disk space requirements.
Your Sun Fire 15K/12K system must meet certain requirements before you install Sun Management Center 3.5 software. These requirements are explained in this section.
Before installing the Sun Management Center software, determine which server is to be the Sun Management Center server machine. The server must have a minimum of 256 megabytes of memory available. The server should be a system with high availability. When the Sun Management Center server is down, you will not be able to use Sun Management Center software to manage your system. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for more information about server machine requirements.
TABLE 2-2 lists the software versions required for Sun Fire 15K/12K platform support.
Sun Management Center software requires network ports to communicate with various components of the system. The default port addresses for these components are listed in TABLE 2-3:
In some cases, this default port configuration conflicts with software already running on your system. Some Sun Fire 15K/12K domains might have port 161 conflicts because of the presence of legacy SMNP agents. During the Sun Management Center software setup, specify an alternate network port to avoid this conflict. Refer to the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide for further information about solving port conflicts.
To create and access topology objects, the Sun Management Center agent layer software uses port 161 by default. If you configure an agent to use an alternate port, you must specify that port when the topology object is created or discovered. To simplify your Sun Management Center network configuration and management and enable more efficient discovery of Sun Management Center agents, select an alternate port number and use that number for all agent installations that cannot use the default port configuration.
The Sun Fire 15K/12K system controller has two Sun Management Center agents: the agent and the platform agent. The agent provides information about the system controller and the platform agent provides information about the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. Usually there are no port conflicts with the default port configuration for the platform agent. When a platform topology object is created or discovered, the correct default port is provided and does not need to be specified.
This section summarizes the procedures for installing and setting up Sun Management Center 3.5 software on Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. FIGURE 2-1 illustrates the Sun Management Center software that needs to be installed on the Sun Fire 15K/12K system controllers and other hosts.
Following is a summary of the procedures for installing Sun Management Center 3.5 software on the server machine.
Following is a summary of the procedures for installing and setting up Sun Management Center 3.5 software on the system controllers and Sun Fire 15K/12K domains:
1. Install and set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 base agent layer and Sun Fire 15K/12K domain agent add-on component for each Sun Fire 15K/12K domain you want to monitor.
2. Install and set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 base agent layer and the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent and system controller add-on components on the main and spare system controllers.
Following is a summary of the procedures for installing Sun Management Center 3.5 software on workstations or the network:
With Sun Management Center 3.5 software, you can install, set up, uninstall, and update in several different ways. TABLE 2-4 lists the various methods with a cross-reference to the information in this chapter.
For Sun Fire 15K/12K system support, install and set up the Sun Management Center 3.5 software on the Sun Fire 15K/12K system hosts as shown in TABLE 2-5. The Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide provides information about installing and setting up the base software. It also provides instructions for starting and stopping Sun Management Center 3.5 software.
TABLE 2-6 lists the three installation CDs supplied with your system. These CDs contain all software and documentation necessary for installing and using Sun Management Center 3.5 software with the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. The contents of the CDs are:
If any of the hosts do not have a local CD-ROM drive, you need to mount a remote CD-ROM drive before installing the software on that host. The following example shows how to mount a remote CD-ROM drive for the Sun Management Center 3.5 Sun Fire 15K/12K CD. If you cannot insert three CDs into three separate drives or install from a common network location as noted previously, then you will need to perform this procedure for each CD on each host.
1. Log in as superuser to a host that has a CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert the Sun Management Center 3.5 Sun Fire 15K/12K CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Type the share(1M) command on the same host as the CD-ROM drive to make the CD-ROM usable across the network.
# share -o ro,anon=0 -F nfs /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where xx is the number of the CD.
4. Log in as superuser to the host without a CD-ROM drive, where you want to install the software.
5. Make a local directory, if it does not already exist, on which to mount the
CD-ROM.
# mkdir /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where xx is the number of the CD.
6. Mount the /cdrom directory from the host with a CD-ROM drive on the /cdrom directory you created on the host without a CD-ROM drive.
This example assumes that the host with a CD-ROM drive is a system controller.
# mount SCn:/cdrom/Sun Management Center_3.5_Sun-Fire-15000 /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where n is the number of the main system controller (0 or 1) and xx is the number of the CD.
|
Note - The CD-ROM directory in the preceding example (Sun Management Center_3.5_Sun-Fire-15000) applies to both Sun Fire 15K and 12K systems. |
7. Change to the Sun Management Center software installation directory.
# cd /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where xx is the number of the CD.
|
Note - If you receive the message Stale NFS file handle, reboot and start over. |
1. If you have only one CD-ROM drive available, you need to first unmount and unshare the previous drive and then eject the CD.
2. Unmount the CD-ROM drive from the host with a CD-ROM drive.
# cd / # umount /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where xx is the number of the CD.
3. Unshare the CD-ROM drive from the host with a CD-ROM drive.
# cd / # unshare /cdrom/Sun_Management_Center_3_5xx |
where xx is the number of the CD.
4. Remove the installation CD from the CD-ROM drive.
# cd / # eject cdrom |
If the Sun Management Center server or any agents are already running on a host where you are going to install Sun Management Center software, stop them first (see Stopping and Exiting Sun Management Center Software Using the CLI).

This section describes how to update multiple hosts at once using Agent Update. The Agent Update process itself must be run on the Sun Management Center server machine. You also need to ensure that Sun Management Center 3.5 agents are running on all the target hosts.
To use Agent Update to fully install and set up the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules, you must create an Agent Update configuration file for the module on the target hosts, before you run the Agent Update Process on the Sun Management Center server machine.
|
|
1. Ensure the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules are installed on the target hosts.
2. Ensure that the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform agent modules are set up on the target hosts using either the es-setup script or the es-guisetup Wizard.
