Installation guide

Note
Solaris package archive names differ from the name of the installed package. For example, the
package archive libgcc<version>-sol<solaris-version>-sparc-local.gz becomes
SMClibgcc after installation
2.1.3.1.2. Configuring t he Library Search Path
To allow the Solaris client to use the libraries installed in the previous step, you must add their location
to the library search path. T o do so, first check the current library search path:
# crle -c /var/ld/ld.config
Make a note of the current Default Library Path. Next, modify the path to also include the components
shown below. Note that the -l option resets the value, rather than appending it, so if there already were
values set on your system, prepend them to the -l parameter.
On sparc:
# crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /other/existing/path:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
On x86:
# crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l
/other/existing/path:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
2.1.3.1.3. Downloading Red Hat Net work Client Packages
Download the appropriate tarball of packages from the /var/www/html/pub/ directory of your
Satellite. If you are able to use a GUI web browser like Mozilla, navigate to the /pub directory of the
Satellite and save the appropriate tarball to your client:
http://your-satellite.example.com /pub/rhn-solaris-bootstrap-<version>-<solaris-
arch>-<solaris-version>.tar.gz
If you must download the tarball from the command line, it should be possible to use ftp to transfer the
file from the Satellite to the client.
Using gzip, decompress the tarball. You should have the following packages:
RHAT possl
RHAT rhnrcfg
RHAT rhnrcfga
RHAT rhnrcfgc
RHAT rhnrcfgm
RHAT rhnc
RHAT rhnl
RHAT rpush
RHAT smart
