2. ### Installing Software on the Installation Server This section describes how to install the Foundation Services, the Solaris operating system and the JumpStart Boot Environment software on the installation server. #### To Install the Foundation Services Software on the Installation Server Copy the `SUNWnhsmc` package to a temporary directory on the installation server. This step is not necessary if the packages are available from a CD-ROM directory or accessible by means of an NFS mounted directory. If the `SUNWnhsmc` package is in an electronic distribution, copy it to the local disk on the installation server. Ensure that you have access to any required patches or third party packages. For information, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Release Notes. Install the Foundation Services package, `SUNWnhsmc`, on the installation server.
       # pkgadd -d electronic_distribution_directory/NetraHAS2.1/Packages SUNWnhsmc
3. #### To Install the Solaris Operating System Distribution on the Installation Server If you plan to transfer the entire SMCT environment from the build server to the installation server during deployment, perform the following procedure. For more information, see To Transfer the Complete SMCT Environment From the Build Server to the Installation Server. To integrate the Solaris distribution in the software load to be deployed on the cluster, install the Solaris distribution on the installation server. Log in to the installation server as a superuser. Ensure that you have enough disk space on the installation server for a Solaris distribution. The Solaris distribution requires approximately 1.5 Gbytes. Create a directory for the Solaris distribution:
       # mkdir Solaris-Distribution
5. Where Solaris-Distribution is the directory where the distribution is installed on the installation server. Change to the directory where the `setup_install_server` script is located. Typically, this is in the Solaris tools directory. For example: `Solaris-Dir/Solaris_Version/Tools` Where: Solaris-Dir is the directory containing the Solaris installation software. This could be a CD-ROM or an NFS-shared directory. Solaris_Version is `Solaris_8` or `Solaris_9` Run the `setup_install_server` script:
       # ./setup_install_server Solaris-Distribution
1. For more information, refer to the `setup_install_server`(1M) man page, the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide, or the Solaris 9 Installation Guide. #### To Install the Solaris JumpStart Boot Environment on the Installation Server If you plan to transfer only exported data and flash archives from the build server to the installation server during deployment, perform the following procedure. For more information, see To Transfer the Exported Data and Flash Archives From the Build Server to the Installation Server. On the installation server, perform the following command:
       # cdrom-mnt-pt/Solaris_Version/Tools/setup_install_server \
       -b install_dir_path
This option allows you to deploy the software load using the `fldeploy` command only. You cannot make any changes to software load data or run the `flinstall` command. For more information, refer to the `install_script`(4) man page.
