Definitions
======================================================================
Server Host The host where the Sun Management Center Server is
installed and running. This system must be a Solaris
host, and contain the package SUNWessrv.
Agent Host A host where a Sun Management Center Agent is
installed and running. This system must be a Solaris
host, and contain the package SUNWesagt.
(Note: Sparse root zones available on Solaris 10+ systems
do not require SUNWesagt but Sun MC agents should be
configured before enabling zone support for this product.)
Console Host A host where the Sun Management Center Console is
installed and running. This system may be a Solaris or
a windows host. On Solaris is contains the package
SUNWescon.
ESROOT For Sun Management Center (Sun MC) 3.0 or higher, this
directory is determined by the user while installing
Sun MC; the default value is /opt/SUNWsymon. To
determine the value of ESROOT on a Sun MC agent host,
run the command (for Solaris 10+ zoned environment,
run the following command in a non-sparse root zone):
# echo "`pkgparam SUNWesagt BASEDIR`/SUNWsymon"
Extracting the Distribution
======================================================================
The PrimeAlert for DB2 distribution file,
HALsmxdb2_[version].tar.gz
must be extracted on a UNIX host before any packages can be installed.
For example, assume that the distribution file has been copied to the
following directory:
/tmp
In this case, the procedure for extracting the distribution will be:
% su -
# cd /tmp
# gzip -d HALsmxdb2_[version].tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALsmxdb2_[version].tar
Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:
/tmp/HALsmxdb2_[version]
Installation Instructions
======================================================================
This product may be installed using Halcyon's standard installation
method or with Sun Management Center's Agent Update feature. To
install the product with Agent Update, refer to the instructions in
the following file:
./AgentUpdate/README.AgentUpdate.html
or
http://www.halcyoninc.com/support/README-AgentUpdate.html
NOTE:
If you choose to use Agent Update, then all Halcyon products must be
installed using Agent Update. It is not possible to use Agent
Update in conjunction with any other installation procedure.
To install the product with Halcyon's standard installation method,
continue with the instructions outlined in this section.
There are two required and one optional step to install this product:
1. Install the Server host packages
2. Install the Agent host packages
3. Zone configuration (optional)
1. Server Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the "PrimeAlert for DB2" module packages on the Sun
Management Center Server host, do the following:
1. Become the "root" user on the Sun Management Center Server host
2. Extract the distribution file
3. Run the install script
4. Restart the Metadata Agent.
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALsmxdb2_[version])
# ./HALDBMSAlertDB2-install.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -m
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -m
Note: During installation on the Server host, when asked whether you
want to install the packages for the Agent layer, answer "y"
only if the DB2 software is installed on that particular host.
In general, the Agent host packages should only be installed on
hosts where the DB2 application is installed and running.
2. Agent Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the Agent host packages is similar to the Server
host packages installation.
Note: The Server host packages should be installed or upgraded before
any of the Agent packages.
To install the "PrimeAlert for DB2" module packages on the Sun
Management Center Agent host, do the following:
1. Become the "root" user on the Sun Management Center Agent host
2. Extract the distribution file
3. Run the install script
4. Restart the Agent
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALsmxsdb2_[version])
# ./HALDBMSAlertDB2-install.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
3. Zone Configuration (optional)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris whole root zoned
environment, just install the module as if it is a global zone.
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris sparse root zoned
environment, perform the following steps in each sparse root zone
where the product is required after installing it in the global zone:
# zlogin [name of sparse root zone]
# $ESROOT/sbin/HALZoneConfig.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
Uninstallation Instructions
======================================================================
NOTE: If the Halcyon products have been installed using Agent Update,
then Sun's [ESROOT]/sbin/es-uninst script MUST be used to

instructions outlined in this section.
