Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-10 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.


Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1: JAVA Version must be at least "1.4.2".
 
NOTE 2: In reference to bugids 4969926 and 5027612
 
        1. This patch enables online Oracle option.
           This means SunMC database backup can be taken when SunMC
           processes are up and running without stopping them.
 
        2. ARCHIVELOG mode must be enabled using
           /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-config -a enable
           before taking online backup.
 
        3. Online backup can be taken using newly implemented option :
 
           /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-backup -o
 
        4. Enabling Oracle Online backup might affect SunMC performance
 
        5. Normal backup can be done and restored even if the ARCHIVELOG
           mode is enabled
 
        6. ARCHIVELOG mode can be disabled using
           /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-config -a disable
 
 
FEATURES
---------
 
Launch the Java Console Through the Command Line (4969921)
==========================================================
To start the console automatically, first create a file to specify the
login information. The <login-file> is used with the -c and -n options to
specify a text file to retrieve login information.  It has the following
format:
 
username : <user-name>
password : <password>
serverhost : <local-host>
serverport : <port-number>
 
For example, create a file named login.txt, with the following content:
 
username : jching
password : 1AxDh98
serverhost : sanjose1
serverport : 2099
 
The <login-file> must be owned and readable-only (400) by the user who
starts the console. The file would have the following permissions:
 
-r-------- 1 jching other    83 Oct 27 07:55 login
 
The command for launching the console with the information from the
<login-file> is:
 
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -c -n <login-file>
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES
-------------
 
Solaris 10 Operating System
===========================
 
You can run Sun Management Center on systems running the Solaris 10
Operating System.
 
If you install and use the product on a system running Solaris 10, note
the following:
 
o The default SNMP port, 161, is assigned to the Systems Management
  Agent (SMA).  We recommend that you use a different port number for
  Sun Management Center, such as port 1161.
 
o To enable encryption, you need to have the SUNWcry package installed.
  The SUNWcry package is part of the Solaris Encryption kit. To obtain
  the kit, see your Sun sales representative.  For more information,
  see the "Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 Supplement."
 
o On Netra systems, Lights Out Management (LOM) is not supported.
  Some tables within the Netra config-reader will be blank.  (6216281)
 
o The following systems do not support Solaris 10:
 
  Sun Fire B1600
  System Service Processor (SSP) on Sun Enterprise 10000
 
o Install this product in the global zone only.
 
o On Windows, discovery does not list the Solaris 10 OS for filtering.
  (6219691)
 
o Remote installation (es-inst -R command) is not supported. (6216693)
 
o JumpStart installation of the agent is not supported. (6216700)
 
o Incremental patches are not supported (6219176). This is described below.
 
o Agent-Update install client on S10 (6216723)
 
  Agent-Update's install client doesn't use the -G option (global zone)
  for installing the bootstrap package SUNWessmu.  On a Solaris 10
  system with zones running, the install client hangs during the pkgadd
  of SUNWessmu because the -G option is not used.
 
 
Patchadd in S10 doesn't appear to support incremental patching
(6219176)
===============================================================
On Solaris 10 systems, installing a patch incrementally to a Sun
Management Center layer (server, console, agent) or add-on works
differently than on Solaris 9 and earlier systems.
 
On Solaris 9 and earlier systems, you can install a patch to the Sun
Management Center console and then add the agent layer and apply the
same patch.  The patch installer knows which packages within the patch
applied to which layer or add-on.
 
On Solaris 10 systems, if you install a patch to the Sun Management
Center console and then add the agent layer and apply the same patch,
the installer sees only that the patch was installed and exits.  To
work around this, remove the patch by using the patchrm command and
then use the es-inst command to install the patch.
 
 
Base-only installation using agent-update fails to add essential
patches (6219534)
===============================================================
NOTE: If you create an agent-update image that included the base
      product AND any add-on product, this information does NOT apply.
      This information applies when you use either es-imagetool or
      es-gui-imagetool to create an agent-update image of the base
      product only (that is, no add-ons in the image).
 
To deploy Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 9 base agent images from a 3.5.1a
server (Solaris 8 Sun Management Server with patch 118388-03,
Solaris 9/10 Sun Management Server with patch 118389-03) using
agent-update.bin or Job Manager, follow these steps:
 
a. Deploy the agent image on the target host.
 
b. Deploy the patch image on the target host.
 
To deploy Solaris 10 base agent only image from a 3.5.1a
server  (Solaris 8 Sun Management Server with patch 118388-03,
Solaris 9/10 Sun Management Server with patch 118389-03) using
agent-update.bin, follow these steps:
 
a. Pull the agent image using agent-update.bin and ignore
   the following message at the end of agent-update.bin:
 
    es-inst command will be timed out in 3600 seconds
    es-inst passed
 
    Doing setup of base product ...
    setup of base product will be timed out in 1800 seconds
    base setup failed
 
    install scripts failed
    Error: running InstallClient
 
    Error: running InstallClient with error code -1
 
b. Apply the patch for the base agent on S10 (patch id
   118389-03) located on the second CD at:
 
    <mount-point>/image/Patches/Essential/Solaris_9
 
c. Run es-setup and complete the agent installation.
 
 
Core product only install fails to install essential patch from image
created by es-makeagent (6219541)
=====================================================================
Apply the patch manually on the agent host. The patches for the core
product are located on second CD at:
 
<mount-point>/image/Patches/Essential
 
 
CD1 gets locked during server install using GUI inst utility (6219648)
======================================================================
To work around this problem, you have two options:
 
a.  Use the command-line installation (es-inst) for server-layer installation.
 
b.  For GUI based installation utility (es-guiinst) only the following options
    will work
 
    1. Copy both disks (CD1 and CD2) onto a disk drive locally as explained
       below.
 
       CD1 should be copied to <targetDirectory>/disk1 and CD2 to
       <targetDirectory>/disk2.
 
    2. Load CD1 and CD2 in different CD drives and NFS mount them so that
       CD1 is mounted on the target host as <mountDirectory>/disk1 and
       CD2 is mounted as <mountDirectory>/disk2
 
    3. Download the web-image onto a system which will give the structure
       as specified in step "1" above.
 
    After doing any of the above steps run es-guiinst from disk1/sbin area.
