- Uninstallation Instructions
. Server Packages

- Install & Uninstall Logs

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 (Sun MC agent on
Solaris).
(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.)
ESROOT: This parameter only applies for a Solaris
installation host. This directory is determined by
the user while installing Sun MC; the default value
is $ESROOT. To determine the value of $ESROOT on a
Sun MC agent host, run the following 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 Hitachi Storage distribution file,
HALHitachiDS_[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 HALHitchiDS_[version].tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALHitachiDS_[version].tar
Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:
/tmp/HALHitachiDS_[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 steps and one optional one 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 Hitachi Storage" 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
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALHitachiDS_[version])
# ./HALHDS-install.sh
Note: During installation on the server host, when asked whether you
want to install the packages for the agent layer, answer "y"
only if this is the agent that will be used to proxy monitor
the Hitachi storage systems. Answer "y" when asked to install
the console layer packages, if the console packages are installed.
In general, the agent host packages should only be installed on
hosts that will be used to proxy monitor the Hitachi storage
systems.
Now restart the Sun MC metadata agent as follows:
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -m
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -m
2. Agent Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the agent host packages is similar to the server
host packages installation.
To install the "PrimeAlert for Hitachi Storage" 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/HALHitachiDS_[version])
# ./HALHDS-install.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
3. Zone Configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris whole root zoned
environment, just install the module the same way as in a global zone.
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris sparse root zoned
environment, ensure Sun MC agent is configured in the sparse root zone.
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
remove the Halcyon products. If the products have been
installed using Halcyon's installation method, continue with the
instructions outlined in this section.
This section explains how to uninstall the various PrimeAlert for
Hitachi Storage components:
1. Uninstall the server host packages
2. Uninstall the agent host packages

uninstall any Halcyon PrimeAlert product:
