Version 1.0.0
README.install
======================================================================
Overview
======================================================================
This README.install file describes how to install and setup the
PrimeAlert for Java Virtual Machines module.
It consists of the following sections:
- Definitions
- Extracting the Distribution
- Installation Instructions
. Server Packages
. Agent Packages
- Uninstallation Instructions
- Install & Uninstall Logs
- Module Loading
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.
ESROOT For 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 Java Virtual Machines distribution file,
HALJVMMonitor_[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 HALJVMMonitor_[version].tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALJVMMonitor_[version].tar
Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:
/tmp/HALJVMMonitor_[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.

4. Restart the metadata server.
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALJVMMonitor_[version])
# ./HALJVMMonitor-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 this is the agent that will be used to monitor the
Java Virtual Machine(s).
In general, the agent host packages should only be installed on
hosts that will be used to monitor Java Virtual Machine(s).
2. Agent Packages
