This command starts either:
• The swinstall Graphical User Interface (GUI) — on a system with an X11 graphical display
• The swinstall Terminal User Interface (TUI) — on a system without an X11 graphical display
(for example, the Utility Meter console)
b. In the Specify Source window, click the Find Local CD button.
c. In the SD Install window, mark the Utility Meter software (T2805AA or T5462A) bundle for
installation and install the bundle.
d. After the Utility Meter software installation is complete, close the swinstall GUI (or TUI).
You are finished with the Utility Meter software installation and can skip Step 4.
4. If using a software depot on a remote system, do the following:
a. Determine the hostname of the system containing the software depot.
b. Determine the pathname of the software depot on the above system.
c. Using the above information, install the Utility Meter software with the following swinstall
command:
• For PPU installations:
/usr/sbin/swinstall –s hostname:pathname T2805AA
• For URS installations:
/usr/sbin/swinstall –s hostname:pathname T5462A
where hostname is determined in Step 4.a and pathname is determined in Step 4.b.
The Utility Meter software swinstall takes less than 5 minutes. If you are installing using the swinstall
GUI you will see the installation temporarily hang at 100% Complete, specifying it is in the “Configure”
phase. The configuration is still going on so do not interrupt the processing in the swinstall GUI or on
the command line—wait until it finishes.
After installing the Utility Meter software, follow the instructions in “Completing the Utility Meter Software
Installation” to complete and verify the Utility Meter software installation has been successful.
2.5.3 Completing the Utility Meter Software Installation
After you have installed the Utility Meter software, perform the following steps to complete the software
installation:
1. Inspect the following log files for any installation errors:
• /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log
• /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
• /var/opt/meter/log/install.log
