Operating Systems Solaris Non-gui equivalent to SMC Management Console? Post 302177292 by jeffpas on Thursday 20th of March 2008 03:09:48 PM

I hate also to stray from the topic, but this is right in line with what we are doing.

One of the reasons I wanted smc is because the SPARC install package contains a straight tarball, which includes among a list of files samgr-client/root/, samgr-client/install/ and samgr-client pkgmap and pkginfo.

Although I do not currently have clearance to actually install this client yet, I do understand that

# pkgadd -d <install package>

is the syntax to install from a Solaris package. But I don't see any particular file in this tarball which is the package itself, or which by reasonable english would make you assume it is.
There are two SPARC package files:

Client.2.2.1.3.SPARC.pkg.tar
CommerConf.2.3.1.1.SPARC.pkg.tar

I can't find any definitive explanation on the web, or in a Solaris book (although I've only found one so far).

All I can assume is I tar -xvf both of these tarballs from root, then execute

# pkgadd -d $PWD

From the root directory.
Is this how Solaris SPARC packages are installed?
Smc I assume, would walk you through creating this command.
The creators of this package, of course, are awol.

Thanks for any advice.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
