Definitions
======================================================================
Installation Host   The host where the Halcyon Neuron Event Manager is
                    to be installed.  This system must be a Solaris
                    host, and contain the package HALhmfcon (Halcyon
                    Neuron Core)..

Neuron Core         The Halcyon Neuron Core is the framework that is
                    central to all Halcyon Neuron Integration products
                    as well as the Neuron Management Portal.

BASEDIR             The base directory where the Halcyon Neuron
                    Core was installed. The default value is
                    /opt/HMF.  To determine the value of BASEDIR run
                    the command (for Solaris 10+ zoned environment,
                    run the following command in a non-sparse root
                    zone):

                    # echo "`pkgparam HALhmfcon BASEDIR`/HMF"

LOCALDIR            The configuration and logfile directory of the
                    Halcyon Neuron Core.  By default this is
                    /var/opt/HMF
                    To determine [LOCALDIR] after installation,
                    issue the command (for Solaris 10+ zoned
                    environment, run the following command in a
                    non-sparse root zone):

                    # pkgparam HALhmfcon LOCALDIR



Extracting the Distribution File
======================================================================
The Halcyon Neuron Event Manager distribution file,

   Halcyon_Neuron_Event_Manager_[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

   /var/tmp

In this case, the procedure for extracting the distribution will be:

   % su -
   # cd /var/tmp
   # gzip -d Halcyon_Neuron_Event_Manager_[version].tar.gz
   # tar xvf Halcyon_Neuron_Event_Manager_[version].tar

Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:

   /var/tmp/Halcyon_Neuron_Event_Manager_[version]
