Getting Started with the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch Management Software
Page 30
30 Chapter 2 Installing Device Manager software
1 Use the uname -a command to determine the version of SunOS/Solaris that
is installed on your workstation.
Table 1 lists the patch file archive name for each version of Solaris.
Table 1 Solaris patch files
SunOS/Solaris version Patch file name
5.6/2.6 jre131_sol56_patchBundle.tar
5.7/2.7 jre131_sol57_patchBundle.tar
5.8/2.8 jre131_sol58_patchBundle.tar
2 Create a new working directory and move to that directory by entering:
mkdir /tmp/patch
cd /tmp/patch
3 Download the pat ch fi le archive to the working directory and untar the file by
entering:
214392-A
tar -xvf jre131_solxx_patchBundle.tar
where:
xx is 56, 57, or 58
4 Run the localch eck Per l scr ipt i ncluded in the pa tch bund le to deter mine if th e
JRE 1.3.1 patches are applied by entering:
perl localcheck
Note: Perl mu st be in stall ed on the sys tem and it must be in cl uded in t he execu tion pat h
for this script to work.
If the script reports that all patches are up to date, you do not n eed to install the
patches. Proceed to the next section, “Installing the JRE in a SunOS/Solaris
environment” on page 31.
5 If the script indicates that patches are required for your sys t em, you should
run the install script pinst. Make the install script file executable by entering:
chmod a+x pinst
Page 31
Chapter 2 Installing Device Manager software 31
6 Change the user to root and run the script by entering:
su root
./pinst -cj
7 The patch installation can take up to several hours to complete, during which
time, your system should be in a quiet state with a minimum of activity. When
installation is complete, you can check the installation log by entering:
more /var/sadm/install_data/Solaris_8_Recommended_log
Note: An error message indicating a patch failure of type 8 means that the package for
which the patch is intended is not installed on your system. You do not need to take any
action in response to this error message.
8 Use the localcheck Perl script again to determine if all JRE patches were
installed successfully by entering:
perl localcheck
9 Use the install script pinst to remove install file s that are no longer needed by
entering:
./pinst -r
The script cannot remove itself and does not remove the patch bundle. You
may remove these files by entering:
rm pinst
rm jre131_solxx_patchBundle.tar
where:
xx is 56, 57, or 58
After you install the Solaris patches, you must install the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) for Solaris systems.
Installing the JRE in a SunOS/Solaris environment
To install the JRE in a SunOS/Solaris environment:
1 Copy the j2re -1_3_1_0 3-sol sparc.s h UNIX scri pt f ile from t he Web site into a
directory. This example uses the /tmp directory. If you use a different
directory, adjust your paths accordingly.
