Chapter 1 Installing Sun ONE Directory Server 35
Instructions For All UNIX Platforms
1. Run the idsktune utility, which you find in the directory containing the
unpacked software.
idsktune checks for appropriate patches and verifies the
system is tuned to support high directory service performance.
As super user, enter the following command:
root# ./idsktune -q > idsktune.out
Perform suggested changes to the system manually. idsktune itself makes no
changestothesystem.
2. Fix at least all ERROR conditions indicated by idsktune.IfyoudonotfixERROR
conditions, installation may fail.
Table 1-9 suggests where to look for official patches not yet installed on your
system.
Refer to Chapter 5, “Tuning the Operating System” starting on page 97for
more information.
3. (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.
4. (Optional) When installing interactively as another user, 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.
