Definitions
======================================================================
Installation Host   The host where the Neuron Integration for Sun Ops 
                    Center is to be installed.  This system must be
                    a Solaris host, and contain the package HALhmfcon
                    (this is the system where the Halcyon Neuron Core
                    is installed).

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.

Neuron Event        The Neuron Event Manager is a web-based interface
Manager             for creating and managing Rules.  Rules consist
                    of user defined event filters, automated actions
                    and schedules and are meant to allow specific
                    actions to be taken when specific events are
                    received by the Neuorn Core.

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 Neuron Integration for Sun Ops Center distribution file,

   Halcyon_Integration_for_Sun_Ops_Center_[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_Integration_for_Sun_Ops_Center_[version].tar.gz
   # tar xvf Halcyon_Integration_for_Sun_Ops_Center_[version].tar

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

   /var/tmp/Halcyon_Integration_for_Sun_Ops_Center_[version]



Installation Instructions
======================================================================
There are three steps required to install this product:

   1. Setup Sun Ops Center Integration User
   2. Collect Sun Ops Center configuration information
   3. Install the Server Host Packages

        If you do not know what the host or port values should be,
        please consult your Sun Ops Center admin.

        NOTE:  The port should be in the cacao.properties file
               under com.sun.cacao.jmxmp.connector.port.

               The default location of this file is:
                  /etc/cacao/instances/default/private

Please have the above details ready before continuing with the next
