1. Click the Options menu on the main SD Install window and click Change Options.
We recommend setting the following install options:
• Deselect Mount file systems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist.
• Select Reinstall filesets even if same revision exists.
2. From the Actions menu click Change Source...
3. Select Local Directory as the Source Depot Type.
4. Enter the Source Host Name.
5. Enter the Source Depot Path. If for example you downloaded the .depot file to the
/tmp directory you would enter: /tmp/sdk14_14228_ia.depot
6. If you used a directory other than /tmp in step two, replace /tmp with that
directory name.
7. Click OK and SD Install will guide you through the installation.
If you are having problems with the software installation, refer to Software Support
(page 25) in these release notes.
Verifying file download
To verify that the file downloaded correctly, at the UNIX prompt run the command
cksum <filename>. If the file downloaded correctly, the checksum number for the
file you downloaded should match the checksum number given above for that file.
Installing into an alternate location
To install the software into an alternate location:
• Designate filesets – either:
— JDK installation: Jdk14.JDK14-* and Jre14.JRE14-*
— JRE installation: Jre14.JRE14-*
• Add "@/<alternate_directory>" to the end of the swinstall command.
• Add the alternate directory to your PATH.
For example: (note that the swinstall command is located at /usr/sbin/
swinstall)
JDK:
swinstall -s <download> Jdk14.JDK14-* Jre14.JRE14-* @/<alternate_directory>
JRE:
swinstall -s <download> Jre14.JRE14-* @/<alternate_directory>
SD-UX prepends <alternate_directory> to the default product path. Java will
therefore install in /<alternate_directory>/opt/java1.4.
If you want your Java home directory in <alternate_directory> without the
/opt/java1.4 directories, you need to install into a temporary directory, and then
move the directories to where you want them.
For example:
