InfoScale™ 9.0 Installation Guide - Solaris

To install InfoScale using a Solaris IPS repository

1. Create a new boot environment (BE) and then mount the BE.

   Run the following commands:

   # beadm create isreponame

   # beadm mount isreponame /isrepomount

   Here, isreponame represents the InfoScale repository name and isrepomount represents the mount path where the repository is mounted. These names are used as examples only. You can specify custom names as per your requirements.

2. To display a list of InfoScale packages and Solaris version for the newly created BE, run the following commands:

   # pkg -R /isrepomount list VRTS*

   # pkg -R /isrepomount info entire

   The output displays a list of all the Solaris packages (SRU) that are in the repository, including the InfoScale installer packages (*vrts).

3. Download and extract the InfoScale base software to the BE mount path using the following commands:

   # cd /isrepomount

   # ls /isrepomount/infoscalesoftware.tar.gz

   # tar -zxvf infoscalesoftware.tar.gz

   The CPI installer script is located at the path:/isrepomount/dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc.

   Here, infoscalesoftware.tar.gz represents the base InfoScale software. The actual file name might vary depending on the release version.

4. Create a Solaris IPS repository for the InfoScale installer packages.

   Run the following commands:

   # zfs create rpool/export/ispackagerepo

   # zfs list | grep ispackagerepo

   # pkgrepo create /export/ispackagerepo

   Here, export/ispackagerepo represents the InfoScale packages repository. You can specify a custom name as per your requirements.

5. Add the InfoScale packages to the newly created IPS repository.

   # pkgrecv -s /dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc/pkgs/VRTSpkgs.p5p -d /export/ispackagerepo '*'

6. Download and extract the InfoScale patch updates, if any.

   Run the following commands:

   # cd /root

   # tar -zxvf infoscalepatch.tar.gz

   Here, infoscalepatch.tar.gz represents the InfoScale patch. The actual file name might vary.

7. Add the InfoScale p5p packages to the InfoScale repository. For each VRTS*.p5p package, run the following command to add the package to the repository:

   # for I in 'ls -1 /root/patches/*.p5p`; do echo $i; pkgrecv -s $i -d '/export/ispackagerepo/' '*'; done | sh -x

8. Verify the package add status using the following command:

   # /usr/bin/pkgrepo info -s 'export/ispackagerepo'

   The command output is for representation purpose only. The actual output varies depending on the released packages and their versions.

9. Run the InfoScale CPI installer to start the InfoScale installation.

   • Navigate to the InfoScale installation directory in the InfoScale IPS repository:

     # cd /isrepomount/dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc

   • Run CPI installer with the -ipsrepo option followed by the repository name:

     # ./installer -isrepo <repository_name>

     If isrepo is the InfoScale repository name, the command should resemble the following:

     # ./installer -isrepo isrepo

     If the IPS repository is not local and is on a network path, you can use the following command to run the installer:

     # ./installer -patch_path /export/ispackagerepo -ipsrepo 'http://<hostname>:8092/' -rootpath /isrepo

10. After the installation is complete, verify the updated InfoScale package information.

    Run the following command:

    # pkg -R /isrepo list VRTS*
