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: 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
SunMC 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 Oracle RAC distribution file,
HALOracleRAC_[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 HALOracleRAC_[version].tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALOracleRAC_[version].tar
Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:
/tmp/HALOracleRAC_[version]
Installation Instructions
======================================================================
This product may be installed using Halcyon's standard installation
method or with Sun Management Center's Agent Update feature. To

2. Install the agent host packages
3. Zone configuration (optional)
NOTE: The PrimeAlert for Oracle module must be installed prior to
installing this module.
1. Server Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the "PrimeAlert for Oracle RAC" 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/HALOracleRAC_[version])
# ./HALOracleRAC-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 monitoring Oracle.
2. Agent Layer Packages - (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the agent host packages is similar to the server
host packages installation.
To install the "PrimeAlert for Oracle RAC" module packages on the Sun
Management Center agent host, do the following:

2. Extract the distribution file
3. Run the install script
4. Restart the agent
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALOracleRAC_[version])
# ./HALOracleRAC-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:
