Be sure to read the hcts.2.4.1.README and hcts.2.4.1.ReleaseNotes documents in the HCTS package before you install HCTS.
The installation script verifies that no previous version of HCTS is on your system. If HCTS is already installed on this system, follow the instructions in Uninstalling the HCTS Application to remove the existing version.

Perform the following steps to install HCTS on each system that is involved in HCTS testing:
Change to the hcts.2.4.1 directory.
Become user root.
$ su
Run the installation script.
# ./install.hcts
Press Enter when prompted by the installation script.
Watch for any error messages and respond to any prompts accordingly.
The following list shows the primary actions that the HCTS installation script performs:
Verify that no version of HCTS is already installed on the system.
Install the packages SUNWhcts, SUNWstaf, and SUNWxorg-demo into the /opt directory.
Install the x11perf binary file into /usr/X11/demo/. Install the x11perf.1x man page file into /usr/X11/share/man/man1 for the video test case.
Set up an anonymous FTP server for the network tests that are done during system testing and network controller testing. For network and system certification, you must install HCTS on two systems. See System Requirements for more information. The two systems should be isolated as much as possible from any other systems on the private network.
Create a /docs directory within the /opt/SUNWhcts directory.
After you have successfully installed HCTS on each system that is involved in HCTS testing, you can certify your hardware. Refer to the following materials to perform the certification tasks:
Hardware Certification Test Suite Release Notes (hcts.2.4.1.ReleaseNotes file in the hcts.2.4.1 directory)
Certification Test Plans (/opt/SUNWhcts/docs/TestPlans)
Automated Test ReadMe files (/opt/SUNWhcts/docs/ReadMes)
All of these documents provide information about various steps in the certification process. For complete information about the Solaris OS certification program, go to the HCTS web site:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts
Disable NIS before you begin any network controller certification.
Note - After you complete the certification process, uninstall HCTS and reinstall your test system to its original configuration.
