Configuration Manager Server Installation Quick Reference
forSolaris
The Configuration Manager Server Installation Quick Reference
for Solaris is designed to provideyou with the basic information
you need to be aware of to perform a Configuration ManagerServer
installation, and pointers to where you can find additional
information. This documentprovides you with a list of things that
you need to think about to perform a successfulConfiguration
Manager Server installation on Solaris. You may find it helpful to
mark off each taskon the Server Installation Checklist as you
complete it.
Unless otherwise specified, topics referenced in this document
as sources of additionalinformation can be found in the Veritas
Configuration Manager Installation Guide. You can findthe
installation guide on the Veritas Configuration Manager CD.
Server Installation Checklist
Each of the following installation related items is represented
by a section in this document whichcontains additional information.
You should read each section, and where necessary refer to

Supported Platform, Database, and Third Party Component
Information
Configuration Manager requires that you install and configure
the following components:
Component Platform
Server Solaris 10 64 bitDatabaseServer
Oracle 10g, certified on Windows 2003; Global Mapper is
supported only on Oracle
Configuration Manager installs the following third party
components: Sun Java2 J DK 1.5.0_10 Tomcat 5.5.9
The Configuration Manager UI is viewable on the following
browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1
Hardware Requirements
We recommend the following configurations: Departmental Dual CPU
1GHz or higher UltraSparc IIIi or equivalent with at least 2GB
of free RAM. The Configuration Manager Server requires a minimum
of 2G of free diskspace for installation and use.
Enterprise Quad CPU 1GHz or higher UltraSparc IIIi or equivalent
with at least 3GB offree RAM. The Configuration Manager server will
require a minimum of 4GB of free diskspace for installation and
use. If Global Mapper is enabled the system should have atleast 4GB
of free RAM and 6GB of free disk space for installation and
use.
A departmental configuration is an installation with 400 or
fewer agents; an enterpriseconfiguration involves 401 or more
agents.

Important Installation Considerations
A successful Configuration Manager Server installation requires
you to think about some thingsthat will help you define and manage
your Server installation. Installation considerations include,but
are not limited to, the following:
Determine what machines you want to manage with Configuration
Manager Decide what Oracle database you plan to use with
Configuration Manager, and whether
the communication should be encrypted. When you get to the
database section of theinstallation you will need to know the
hostname, database name or SID, user accountand password, and port
number.
Determine on what machine you will install the Configuration
Manager Server.For the complete list of Configuration Manager
Server installation considerations, refer to theConfiguration
Manager Server Installation Considerations topic.
Installation Prerequisites
There are various installation perquisites that must be
fulfilled in order to install the ConfigurationManager Server,
including, but not limited to:
A copy of the clarity-server_6.x.xxx.x_SunOS-sparc.bin
self-extracting installation kit. Access to a root shell. Required
patches for the JDK installation. For additional information, refer
to the
Required Solaris Patches topic. A valid license file for the VCM
Server. Without a valid license file, VCM will still install
successfully, start up, and run without limitations. If you need
to obtain a license, contactyour Symantec Customer Care
representative.
For the complete list of Configuration Manager Server
installation prerequisites, refer to theInstallation Prerequisites
on Solaris topic.
Database Requirements and Setup Information
Although the Oracle database can be run on the same machine as
the Configuration ManagerServer, doing so reduces the scalability
of the Configuration Manager Server and this type ofconfiguration
is not supported in Enterprise or Global Mapper environments. For
this reason, werecommend deploying the database on a separate
machine.
There are two requirements you should consider when configuring
a database server to support a
single Configuration Manager domain:
1. CPU/Memory For departmental Configuration Manager
installations, a single CPU 1.0GHz or higher
UltraSparc IIIi or equivalent with 2GB of free RAM (or more) is
recommended. For enterprise Configuration Manager installations, a
dual CPU 1.0GHz or higher
UltraSparc IIIi or equivalent with 4GB of free RAM (or more) is
recommended.2. Disk IO
When a single database instance is shared between multiple
Configuration ManagerServers, the database server's CPU, Memory,
and Disk/IO configuration must be scaledaccordingly.
Refer to Oracle Database Requirements for additional information
on Oracle setup.
Performing the Server InstallationThere are three methods for
performing a Configuration Manager Server installation: Console
mode installation. For instructions, refer to Installing the
Configuration
Manager Server in Console Mode on Solaris. Graphical mode
installation. For instructions, refer to Installing the
Configuration
Manager server in Graphical Mode on Solaris. Unattended mode
installation. For instructions, refer to Installing the
Configuration
Manager server in Unattended Mode on Solaris.
