Install on a Solaris Branded Zone

Solaris limitations mean that pkgadd does not support propagation of applications installed in the Solaris 10 global zone into branded zones. Also, CA ControlMinder must use an ioctl instead of a syscall to communicate with the kernel module.

To install on a Solaris branded zone

1. Install CA ControlMinder in the Solaris global zone using pkgadd.
2. Install CA ControlMinder in the Solaris branded zone using pkgadd.

   Note: The installation parameter file also lets you do this automatically when you install on the global zone.

3. In the branded zone, verify that the seos.ini entry SEOS_use_ioctl is set to 1 and fix if needed.

   This confirms that CA ControlMinder is configured to use ioctl.

4. In the global zone, verify that the seos.ini entry SEOS_use_ioctl is set to 1.

   This confirms that CA ControlMinder is configured to use ioctl.

   The installation is complete and you can now start CA ControlMinder in the branded zone.

   Important! If SEOS_use_ioctl is set to 0, you need to modify CA ControlMinder to use ioctl for communication in all zones. Once you make this change and reboot all zones, the installation is complete.
