decide to use, and on whether you want to interact with the install program.
Proceed according to instructions in the appropriate sections:
• Preparing For Installation From Solaris Packages
• Performing Interactive Installation Using Solaris Packages
• Performing Silent Installation Using Solaris Packages
• Preparing For Installation From a Compressed Archive
• Performing Interactive Installation From a Compressed Archive
• Performing Silent Installation From a Compressed Archive
• Completing the Installation Process
When installing Directory Server in aSun Cluster system, follow theinstructions in
Appendix C, “Installing Sun Cluster HA for Directory Server.”
Preparing For Installation From Solaris Packages
1. (Optional) Create a user and group accountfor Directory Server.
Directory Server runs as the userandgroup you specify during installation.Set
permissions that prevent unauthorized access to the directory and to other
resources on the system. Refer to “(UNIX Platforms) Users and Groups,” on
page 99 for more information.
2. (Optional) Allow access to the display using the xhost(1) command.
When you set the
DISPLAY environment variable appropriately and perform
installation as a user having access to the display, the installation program
displays the graphical user interface by default.
If the installation program cannot display the graphical user interface, it starts
installation in command-line mode.
3. Before installing using a locale other than US English, set the LANG
environment variable to C.
4. Ensure the required packages listed in Table 1-3 are installed, in addition to all
Solaris packages installed by default with a basic system.
