Preparing for Installation on Solaris
Perform the following steps if you will be installing the Inventory Manager software from a CD. If you have
downloaded the software, proceed to the section Stopping NetSight Services. The following procedures
assume that the CD drive from which you are installing is physically attached to the system where Inventory
Manager is being installed. The user performing the installation must be logged in as root.
Insert the Inventory Manager CD into the CD drive.1.
Use an xterm where you are logged in as root using the su − command.
NOTE: You may encounter a Java exception when becoming the root
user with the su − command. Be sure that your system's root
environment has a proper DISPLAY variable setting. The
Installation program will report a Java exception
(InvocationTargetException) if the DISPLAY variable
is undefined.
If this occurs:
Set the system display variable to accept a remote
display with the command:
/usr/openwin/bin/xhost +
•
Set the display variable in the environment where the su
− was done.
For C shell:
setenv DISPLAY :0.0
For Korn shell:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
•
2.
Using the cd command, cd to the /cdrom/cdrom0 (where 0 is zero) directory. If it does not exist,
make the directory using the mkdir −p command, then cd to the newly created directory.
3.
Using the ls command, check to see if the CD drive is mounted. If no files are listed, issue the
following commands:
cd /
mount −r −F hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom/cdrom0
(where 0 is zero).

Stopping NetSight Services (Solaris)
Before you install, you must stop NetSight Services, the NetSight Server and the NetSight Database.
