Install Using Solaris Native Packaging

Solaris native packaging is provided as command-line utilities that let you create, install, remove, and report on individual software packages.

Note: For more information about Solaris native packaging, see the Sun Microsystems website and the man pages for pkgadd, pkgrm, pkginfo, and pkgchk.

Instead of a regular installation, you can use the Solaris native packages CA ControlMinder provides. This lets you manage your CA ControlMinder installation with all your other software installations performed using Solaris native packaging.

Important! To uninstall CA ControlMinder after a package installation, you must use the pkgrm command. Do not use uninstall_AC script.

If you install CA ControlMinder using Solaris native packaging on all zones, CA ControlMinder also automatically installs on any zones you create after the original installation. However, while the post-installation CA ControlMinder procedure scripts need to run from within the non-global zone, for new zones, these scripts can only run once the new zone configuration is complete. Specifically, you must run the "zlogin -C zonename" command (which, completes the configuration of the name service, the root password, and so on).

Important! If you do not run the "zlogin -C zonename" command, or if you boot and log in to the new zone very quickly, CA ControlMinder installation will be incomplete as the post-installation scripts did not run.

Note: For more information on setting up a new zone correctly, see Sun's System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers--Resource Management and Solaris Zones, which is available at Sun Microsystems Documentation website.
