Installing Unisphere/Navisphere Host Agent for Solaris:

Installation of Unisphere Host Agent and Navisphere Host Agent on Solaris 11 is same.

Following is the procedure to install Unisphere Host Agent on Solaris 11. It is implemented on Oracle Solaris 11.1 X86 - Virtual Machine.

Virtual Machine Operating System details: Oracle Solaris 11.1 X86

Steps to install:

1) Make sure that each storage system is connected to Solaris server where you are installing Unisphere Host Agent.

2) If your server is behind a firewall, open TCP/IP port 6389. (This port is used by the host agent. If this port is not opened, the host agent will not function properly.)

3) At the Solaris server, log in as superuser (root).

4) If any previous revision of Host Agent is installed on the server, remove it before continuing; otherwise continue to the next step.

Note: In this scenario, Unisphere Host Agent package HostAgent-Solaris-32-x64-en_US-1.0.55.1.0044-1.pkg is placed under /software directory on Solaris 11 virtual machine.

5) In a shell, enter the following commands:

=============================================================

root@solaris:~# cd /software  (To change the current working directory to /software as I have placed the host agent package under this directory).

root@solaris:/software# ls -ltr (To list the contents of /software directory).

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22982656 Dec 1 08:41 HostAgent-Solaris-32-x64-en_US-1.0.55.1.0044-1.pkg

(Below command is the main command which will install Host Agent on the Solaris 11 host)

root@solaris:/software# pkgadd -d ./HostAgent-Solaris-32-x64-en_US-1.0.55.1.0044-1.pkg

***************************************************************************************************************************

Note: Please make sure that there is correct entry of your Server's hostname and IP address in hosts file. Also add CLARiiON SP's IP address entries in hosts file.

Example:

Suppose your server's hostname is Solaris11 and IP address is 192.168.10.15.

IP addresses of SP-A and SP-B are 192.168.10.17 and 192.168.10.18 respectively.

Hostnames of SP-A and SP-B are CLARiiON_SP-A and CLARiiON_SP-B respectively.

Then the hosts file entry should look like:

--------------------------------------------------

192.168.10.15   Solaris11

192.168.10.17   CLARiiON_SP-A

192.168.10.18   CLARiiON_SP-B

--------------------------------------------------
