Install using Solaris Native Package

Using Solaris Native Package you can create smaller installer packages that includes only the Agents that you plan to deploy. This enables you to build smaller install packages which will be useful to reduce WAN/LAN payload while installing remote clients.

The following procedure walks you through the process of creating and installing the software using Solaris Native Package on Solaris.

Installation

  The software can be installed using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Decouple Install

Use this procedure to create a package, install in decouple mode and later register the client computer from the CommCell Console.

Method 2: Record and Install

Use this procedure to create a package, record an install and perform the installation.

11. Press Enter.

The Native custom package will be created in the following location:

/opt/UnixCustomPackage/sol		 Save custom package to: [/opt]
12. Press Enter. Optionally, you may choose to record install to an xml parameter file now so that you can play it later. The recorded xml will be encapsulated into the custom package and can be used as an answer file in two ways:

(1) from the custom package run "silent_install -p default";

(2) from the native package run native installer(rpm/pkgadd/swinstall...)

You can still perform the above two tasks without custom recording if you choose to use all default parameters.

Do you want to record the install now? [no]
13. Native Custom Package Creation is now complete.

The package can be found in the following location:

/opt/UnixCustomPackage/sol/custom-solaris-10042

- Solaris native package created at /opt/UnixCustomPackage/sol: custom-solaris-10042

Thank you for choosing Bull.
14. Navigate to the location in the previous step. For Example:

/opt/UnixCustomPackage/sol
15. Run the following command to install the solaris package:

pkgadd -i <package_name>

where

<pkgfile> is the name of the Solaris native package file.

 For Example:

[root@client sol]# pkgadd -i custom-solaris-10042.pkg
16. The software installation is now complete. Performing non-interactive Install of the following modules....

13. Press Enter. Do you want to install the agents for restore only without consuming licenses? [no]
14. Enter the path for installation directory and press Enter. Please specify where you want us to install Calypso binaries.

It must be a local directory and there should be at least 142MB of free space available. All files will be installed in a "Calypso" subdirectory, so if you enter "/opt", the files will actually be placed into "/opt/Calypso".

Installation Directory:
15. Enter the path for log directory and press Enter. Please specify where you want to keep Calypso log files.

It must be a local directory and there should be at least 100MB of free space available. All log files will be created in a "Calypso/Log_Files" subdirectory, so if you enter "/var/log", the logs will actually be placed into "/var/log/Calypso/Log_Files".

Log Directory:
16. Press Enter to assign user group.
  It is recommended that you create a new user group before creating package, to specify access permissions to Calypso processes.
Most of Calypso processes run with root privileges, but some are launched by databases and inherit database access rights. To make sure that registry and log files can be written to by both kinds of processes we can either make such files world-writeable or we can grant write access only to processes belonging to a particular group, e.g. a "Calypso" or a "dba" group.

We highly recommend now that you create a new user group and enter its name in the next setup screen. If you choose not to assign a dedicated group to Calypso processes, you will need to specify the access permissions later.

If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "dba" group.

Would you like to assign a specific group to Calypso? [yes]
17. Type the Group name and then press Enter. Please enter the name of the group which will be assigned to all Calypso files and on behalf of which all Calypso processes will run.

In most of the cases it's a good idea to create a dedicated "Calypso" group. However, if you're planning to use Oracle iDataAgent or SAP Agent, you should enter Oracle's "dba" group here.

Group name: staff

REMINDER

If you are planning to install Calypso Informix, DB2, Sybase or LotusNotes iDataAgent, please make sure to include informix, db2, etc. users into group "staff".

Press <ENTER> to continue ...
18. Press Enter. IMPORTANT : Please read install document "Configure Kernel Parameters - Unix/Macintosh" from "Books Online" before you start configuring kernel parameters. Please enter the total number of streams that you plan to run at the same time. We need to make sure that you have enough semaphores and shared memory segments configured in /etc/system.

Number of streams 10
19. Press Enter. We now need to modify the /etc/system configuration file on this computer. It is done to make sure that there will be enough shared memory and semaphores available for Calypso programs.

Please review the changes below, and answer "yes", if you want us to apply them to /etc/system file. Otherwise the installation will proceed, the changes will saved to some other file, and you will have to apply them manually.

Do you want us to apply these changes now? [no]
20. Type a network TCP port number for the Communications Service (CVD) and press Enter.

Type a network TCP port number for the Client Event Manager Service (EvMgrC) and press Enter.

 Every instance of Calypso should use a unique set of network ports to avoid interfering with other instances running on the same machine.

The port numbers selected must be from the reserved port number range and have not been registered by another application on this machine.

Please enter the port numbers.
