Chapter 2 Installing Enterprise Agents
2.1 Installing Enterprise Agents Overview
Installing Solstice Enterprise Agents (SEA) on the Solaris operating system follows Standard Solaris conventions, as described in the following sections.
The SEA package is divided into two major parts:
2.2 Platforms and Packages
This product is supported on the following platforms:
-
Sparc (Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and Solaris 7)
-
x86 (Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and Solaris 7)
The runtime product includes the following unique packages:
The following sections describe the details of each package.
2.2.1 SUNWsacom
The SUNWsacom package contains all the configuration files corresponding to the other three packages. The files in this package are installed in the /root and /var file systems. These files include configuration files and other common files.
2.2.2 SUNWsasnm
The SUNWsasnm package includes:
-
snmpdx - Master Agent executable
-
init.snmpdx - Startup script file
-
snmpdx.mib - Master Agent MIB file
-
Libraries
2.2.3 SUNWsadmi
Within SUNWsadmi, the package includes:
-
dmispd - DMI Service Provider (SP) executable
-
DMI libraries - See Table 2-3
-
snmpXdmid - DMI/SNMP mapper executable
-
init.dmi - Startup script file
-
ciinvoke - Script to invoke CI agents, from init.dmi
-
Script to invoke CI agents - Invoked by ciinvoke
-
dmi_cmd and dmiget - Command line MI utilities
2.2.4 SUNWmibii
The SUNWmibii package contains the mibiisa MIB II subagent. The subagent provides MIB II functionality. The functionality provided by MIB II subagent is the same as that provided by the snmpd agent released with Domain Manager.
2.2.5 SUNWsasdk
This package contains SNMP Toolkit and the DMI Toolkit to build the subagents.
SNMP Toolkit contains:
DMI Toolkit includes:
2.3 Installation Procedure
Packages are installed using the pkgadd command and are removed by the pkgrm command.
Note -
The snmpXdmid must be configured properly in the Master Agent configuration files.
2.3.1 Remove Existing Packages

Caution -
Before starting your installation procedure, be sure you log in as root. Then follow the procedures below.
If these packages don't exist, you don't have to remove them.
2.3.2 Add New Packages
With the addition of each package, you receive both the English and French copyrights, then a series of prompts that you can either answer specifically or accept the default.
-
Add SUNWmibii:
pkgadd -d . SUNWmibii
-
Add SUNWsasnm:
pkgadd -d . SUNWsasnm
-
Add SUNWsadmi:
pkgadd -d . SUNWsadmi
-
Add SUNWsacom:
pkgadd -d . SUNWsacom
-
Add SUNWsasdk
pkgadd -d . SUNWsasdk
When you add the SUNWsadmi package, the dmispd and snmpXdmid processes start upon reboot of the system.
The SUNWsacom package consists of two script files; init.dmi and init.snmpdx. The SNMP daemon, snmpdx, is invoked by init.snmpdx. The snmpdx process automatically starts the mibiisa daemon.
The dmispd process is invoked through the RC script files when the system is booted, as is snmpdx. The snmpXdmid mapper process is invoked after the dmispd has been invoked.
Note -
When deleting or adding packages, be sure you follow the order described above.
