Installation Instructions
=========================
Definitions
-----------
ESROOT: This parameter only applies for a Solaris
installation host. For SunMC 2.1 or higher, this
directory is determined by the user while
installing SunMC; the default value is
/opt/SUNWsymon. To determine the value of ESROOT
on a SunMC agent host, run the command:
# echo "`pkgparam SUNWesagt BASEDIR`/SUNWsymon"
Server Host: A host where the Sun Management Center server is
installed and running. This host must be a Solaris
host, and it contains the package SUNWessrv.
Agent Host: A host where a Sun Management Center or PrimeAlert
agent is installed and running. If the host is a
Solaris host, it contains the package SUNWesagt;
for a Linux host, HALpialag; and for an HP-UX host,
HALpiahpa.
Console Host: A host where the Sun Management Center console is
installed and running. If this host is a Solaris
host, it contains the package SUNWescon; it may
also be a host running Windows.
Extracting the Distribution File
--------------------------------
The PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler distribution file, HALsmxsch_1.0.0.tar.(Z|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
/tmp/install directory, and will be extracted there. In this case, the
procedure for extracting the distribution file is:
% su -
# cd /tmp/install
# uncompress HALsmxsch_1.0.0.tar.Z
or gzip -d HALsmxsch_1.0.0.tar.gz
# tar xvf HALsmxsch_1.0.0.tar
In this case, the directory /tmp/installl/HALsmxsch_1.0.0 represents
the installation source directory, <SOURCE_DIR>, which is referenced below.
Server Layer Packages - Solaris Only
------------------------------------
The procedure described in this sub-section should be performed on the
Sun Management Center server layer host only.
Note that server layer packages should be installed/upgraded before
agent or console layer packages are installed/upgraded.
Login to the Sun Management Center server host as root. Extract the
PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler distribution file (see the above section
'Extracting the Distribution File') in a temporary location, and then
run the script HALModScheduler-install.sh, e.g.:
% su -
# cd <SOURCE_DIR>
# ./HALModScheduler-install.sh -s
The following package is installed or upgraded by the installation
script:
- HALmmssch
Agent Layer Packages - Solaris
------------------------------
The procedure described in this sub-section should be performed on any
agent host that is being upgraded to the latest version of PrimeAlert
ModuleScheduler, or that is receiving PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler
for the first time.
Login to a Sun Management Center agent host as root. Extract the
PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler distribution file (see the above
section 'Extracting the Distribution File') in a temporary location, and
then run the script HALModScheduler-install.sh, e.g.:
% su -
# cd <SOURCE_DIR>
# ./HALModScheduler-install.sh -a
The following package is installed or upgraded by the installation script:
- HALsmasch
After the package is installed, restart the agent:
Solaris: % su -
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
Console Layer Packages - Solaris
--------------------------------
The procedure described in this sub-section should be performed on any
console host that is being upgraded to the latest version of PrimeAlert
ModuleScheduler, or that is receiving PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler
for the first time.
Login to a Sun Management Center console host as root. Extract the
PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler distribution file (see the above
section 'Extracting the Distribution File') in a temporary location, and
then run the script HALModScheduler-install.sh, e.g.:
% su -
# cd <SOURCE_DIR>
# ./HALModScheduler-install.sh -c
The following package is installed or upgraded by the installation
script:
- HALmmcsch
The local SunMC console should be restarted after installation.
Console Layer Packages - Windows
--------------------------------
The procedure described in this sub-section should be performed on any
Windows console host that is being upgraded to the latest version of
PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler, or that is receiving PrimeAlert
ModuleScheduler for the first time.
1 - Extract the PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler distribution file
(see the above section 'Extracting the Distribution File') on a Solaris
host. In this case, the InstallShield installer for Windows has the
pathname:
<SOURCE_DIR>/packages/win32/HALModScheduler_1.0.0.exe
2 - Copy the Windows InstallShield installer to a convenient location
(<path>) on the Windows console host.
3 - Run the InstallShield package HALModScheduler_1.0.0.exe, for
example:
Start->Run... <path>\HALModScheduler_1.0.0.exe
Follow the instructions presented on screen.
Besides installing a number of program files, the installation
program puts a shortcut in the Start Menu's Programs folder,
sub-folder Halcyon. This shortcut provides easy and fast access
to help files for PrimeAlert ModuleScheduler.
The local SunMC console should be restarted after installation.
