Installing the Software

Installing Solstice SyMON requires these steps:
  1. Installing the CDE packages from the Solaris Desktop CD

  2. Mounting the Updates CD

  3. Saving any user-customized Solstice SyMON event rules and removing Solstice SyMON 1.0 or 1.1 and all previously installed packages (if upgrading from a previous release)

  4. Installing the packages

  5. Setting up your environment

  6. Configuring the software

  7. Starting agents

Installing CDE from the Solaris Desktop CD

In order to have Solstice SyMON online help available (this help is CDE-based online help), you must install the following in this order:
  1. Solaris CD

  2. Solaris Desktop CD (This CD contains the CDE packages. One of these packages, SUNWdtbas, is necessary in order to use Solstice SyMON online help)

  3. Install Solstice SyMON from the Updates CD (see the next section)

Installing Solstice SyMON from the Updates CD

The Solstice SyMON software is located on the SMCC Updates CD. You need to mount the SMCC Updates CD so you can retrieve the Solstice SyMON software from the SMCC Updates CD.

Mounting the CD

Follow the procedure "To Mount the Locally Connected CD-ROM" or "To Mount the Remotely Connected CD-ROM."

· To Mount the Locally Connected CD-ROM

  1. Become superuser and create the /cdrom directory (if one doesn't exist).

  2. Place the SMCC Updates CD in the CD-ROM drive and close the drive door.

    If Volume Manager is running, the CD is mounted and the path is: /cdrom/upd_sol_2_5_1_hw2_smcc/SMCC.

    If Volume Manager is not running complete Step 3, mounting the /cdrom directory manually.

  3. Mount the CD manually by typing: 


  # mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom

· To Mount the Remotely Connected CD-ROM

  1. Export the /cdrom directory from the server:

    a. Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file by adding the following line at the end of the /etc/dfs/dfstab file: 


  share  -F nfs  -o ro /cdrom/upd_sol_2_5_1_hw2_smcc/SMCC
b. Start NFS and the mount daemon: 

  # /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16  
  # /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
c. Export the /cdrom file system: 

  # shareall
  1. Mount the /cdrom directory from the server.

  • If automountd is running, type:

  # cd /net/server_ hostname/cdrom/upd_sol_2_5_1_hw2_smcc/SMCC
  • If automountd is not running, type:

  # mkdir /cdrom  
  # mount server_ hostname:/cdrom /cdrom  
  # cd /cdrom/upd_sol_2_5_1_hw2_smcc/SMCC

Installing Packages

Note - The packages you install for the Server Subsystem, Event Manager, and GUI subsystem are dependent on SUNWsyrt, the SyMON Runtime Library package, and SUNWdtbase, the CDE-base package. Ignore warning messages if you do not install the SUNWsyrt package first.

Updating Solstice SyMON from a Previous Release

Before you can install the Solstice SyMON packages, you must completely remove the currently installed Solstice SyMON configuration and remove the previously installed packages.

· To Save Customized Rules Files and Remove Solstice SyMON

  1. Save any customized rules files.

    Some older Solstice SyMON rules and rules for this version of Solstice SyMON are incompatible.

  2. Completely remove the currently installed Solstice SyMON configuration by typing as superuser: 


  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_confsymon -D
  1. Install Solstice SyMON by following the procedures that follow.

    The first step in each procedure describes how to remove the existing packages.

Identifying Previously Installed Packages with pkginfo

Before removing all previously installed packages, you must identify which previously installed packages are installed on each system with the pkginfo command. For example:

  # pkginfo SUNWsyrt
If the SUNWsyrt package is installed, the following is displayed:

  application scripts SUNWsyrt Solstice SyMON Runtime library and Tcl
If the SUNWsyrt package is not installed, the following is displayed:

  ERROR: information for "SUNWsyrt" was not found
Use pkginfo to identify the remaining previously installed packages.

· To Install the Server Packages

  1. If you are upgrading from a previous release, remove the existing SUNWsys and SUNWsyrt packages on the monitored server by typing the following as superuser: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWsys SUNWsyrt
Answer yes to all questions.
  1. Go to the installation directory on the monitored server: 


   # cd dirname
where:
dirname is the directory where the Solstice SyMON packages are located
  1. Add the SUNWsyrt and SUNWsys packages: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsyrt SUNWsys
where:
source_directory is the full path name of the directory where the packages you want to add are located. You can also use 'pwd' for the source_directory.

· To Install SunVTS for Online Diagnostics

· Install the packages necessary for SunVTS Online Diagnostics on the monitored system by typing: 

  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsyc SUNWvts SUNWodu
where:
source_directory is the full path name of the directory where the packages you want to add are located. You can also use 'pwd' for the source_directory.

· To Install the Event Generator Packages

Note - If you are installing both the Event Generator and the User GUI subsystem packages on the same system, install SUNWsyrt only one time.
  1. If you are upgrading from a previous release, remove the existing Solstice SyMON Event Generator software from your desktop system (or on any other system other than the server) by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWsye SUNWsyrt
  1. Install the Event Generator packages on your desktop system (or on any other system other than the server) by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsyrt SUNWsye
where:
source_directory is the full path name of the directory where the packages you want to add are located.

· To Install the GUI Subsystem Packages

Note - If you are installing the Event Generator and User GUI Subsystem packages on the same system, do not remove SUNWsyrt (see Step 1, which follows) since you previously installed SUNWsyrt in Step 2 of the previous procedure.
  1. If you are upgrading from a previous release, remove the existing SUNWsyu and SUNWsyrt packages from the desktop system by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWsyu SUNWsyrt
  1. Install the GUI subsystem packages on the desktop system by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsyrt SUNWsyu [SUNWsyua  
  SUNWsyub SUNWsyuc SUNWsyud]
where:
  • source_directory is the full directory path name where the packages are located
  • SUNWsyua contains images for the Ultra Enterprise 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 systems
  • SUNWsyub contains the images for the SPARCserver 1000(E) and SPARCcenter 2000(E)
  • SUNWsyuc contains the images for the Ultra Enterprise 2 and 150
  • SUNWsyud contains the images for the Ultra Enterprise 450

Installing the man Pages

You can install the man pages in two ways :
  • Without using the Windex database for man pages
  • Using the Windex database for man pages
Review the following information before deciding which method to use.
The Windex database is generated with the catman command. The Windex man page database is used by the man -k and apropos commands. For example, if you need to know every man page that mentions disk, you would type man -k disk. You can also invoke the apropos command, by typing apropos logout, which returns man pages related to logout.
Use pkgadd to install the Windex database of man pages. The catman command indexes the Windex database.

· To Install the Man Pages

  • If you do not have a Windex database for man pages:
  1. If you are upgrading from a previous release, remove the existing SUNWsym package by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWsym
  1. Add the new man page package by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsym
where:
source_directory is the full path name of the directory where the packages you want to add are located.
  • If you have a Windex database for the man pages:
  1. If you are upgrading from a previous release, remove the existing SUNWsym packages and the Windex database by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWsym  
  # rm /opt/SUNWsymon/man/Windex
  1. Add the new man page package by typing: 


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d source_directory SUNWsym
where:
source_directory is the full path name of the directory where the packages are located that you want to add.
  1. Create the new Windex database by typing: 


  # catman -w M /opt/SUNWsymon/man

Setting Up Your Environment

You can set up your environment for the GUI using the Bourne, Korn, or C shells as follows.

· To Set Up the Environment for the GUI

  • For Bourne and Korn shells
  1. Add the following lines to the .profile file: 


  SYMONHOME=/opt/SUNWsymon  
  PATH=$SYMONHOME/bin:/opt/SUNWvts/bin:$PATH  
  MANPATH=$SYMONHOME/man:$MANPATH  
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SYMONHOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
  export SYMONHOME  
  export PATH  
  export MANPATH  
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Note - If the software is not installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, replace the /opt/SUNWsymon path with the path you used to install the software in the line beginning with SYMONHOME.
  1. Make the previous setup parameters effective by logging out and then logging in.

  • For the C Shell
  1. Add the following lines to the .cshrc file: 


  setenv SYMONHOME /opt/SUNWsymon  
  set path=$SYMONHOME/bin /opt/SUNWvts/bin $path  
  setenv MANPATH $SYMONHOME/man:$MANPATH  
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $SYMONHOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Note - If the software is not installed in /opt/SUNWsymon, replace the /opt/SUNWsymon path with the path you used to install the software in the line beginning with setenv.
  1. Make the previous setup parameters effective by typing: 


  # source .cshrc  
  # rehash

Configuring Solstice SyMON

Before you can run Solstice SyMON in your environment, you must configure the host and the Event Generator host (Event Host). For example, if you have two systems, server A and a desktop system B, and you want desktop system B to monitor server A, a diagram of the monitoring configuration would look similar to FIGURE 2-1.

그래픽

FIGURE 2-1

· To configure the host, type the following on server A: 

  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_confsymon -s EventMonitor_host
where:
EventMonitor_host is the host that monitors this server, which is Server A in this example.
· To configure the Event Generator, invoke the uname -i command on server A.
This command returns the platform name of the system. Use the platform name (for example SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise) as an argument to the sm_confsymon -e command.
Note - If the uname -i command returns SUNW,Ultra-1, this platform name is for the Ultra Enterprise 150, which is supported by Solstice SyMON. The same platform name is used for the Ultra Enterprise 1 system, which is not supported by Solstice SyMON.
Also, the uname -i command returns SUNW,Ultra 2 for both the Ultra Enterprise 2 server, which is supported by Solstice SyMON and the Ultra Enterprise 2 workstation, which is not supported by Solstice SyMON.
  1. Type the following on the Event Host: 


  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_confsymon -e agent_host -P platformname
where:
  • agent_host is the host name of the server running the Server Subsystem, which is Server A in this example.
  • platformname (SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise in this example) is the platform type returned by the uname -i command.

Starting Solstice SyMON

This section describes how to start running Solstice SyMON. The Server Subsystem and the Event Manager start automatically after you reboot your system. To start the server subsystem without rebooting, follow the next procedure, "To Start Solstice SyMON without Rebooting."

· To Start Solstice SyMON without Rebooting

Note - You can also use the -v flag (verbose installation) with the sm_confsymon command. The system echoes all actions and requests permission to continue when you use the -v flag.
  1. Start Solstice SyMON on the Server Subsystem host by typing: 


  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_control start
  1. Start the Event Generator on the Event Generator machine by typing: 


  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_control start
  1. Run the GUI from your desktop as a regular user by typing: 


  CTRL-d (to become a regular user)  
  % rehash  
  % /opt/SUNWsymon/bin/symon -t target_system &
where:
target_system is the name of the server running the monitor agents.
Solstice SyMON also recognizes command line options (see Chapter 5, "Command Line Options)." When you invoke the software at the shell prompt, you can use these options on the command line. For example, in the previous screen, the -t option refers to the target system to monitor.

Exiting the GUI

This section describes how to exit the GUI. Exiting the GUI shuts down the GUI but does not shut down the software application, which continues to monitor the server.

· To Exit the GUI

The Launcher window contains a File menu that includes an Exit button.
· Close the current window and all other windows by clicking the "yes" button to the exit inquiry.
If you need to view the information that the software has collected about the server, restart the GUI.

Shutting Down Solstice SyMON

Note - Normally, the agents and the Event Generator should run continuously, even if GUIs are not attached. Running them continuously monitors the server for events and gathers historical data.
· To shut down Solstice SyMON, type the following command as superuser on the server or the Event Host: 

  # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/sm_control stop

Removing Solstice SyMON

CAUTION Caution - SUNWsyrt is the runtime library. Remove SUNWsyrt only if all the SyMON packages are removed from that machine.

· To Remove Solstice SyMON

CAUTION Caution - If the Event Generator is also installed on this machine and you want to continue running the Event Generator on this machine, do not remove the SUNWsyrt package.
