Upgrading the VEA client on a Solaris system

For the current version of VERITAS Enterprise Administrator, four packages are required (VRTSobgui, VRTSat, VRTSpbx, and VRTSicsco).

Previous versions may have required only the VRTSobgui package.

 To upgrade the VEA client on a Solaris machine (other than the host) using pkgadd

1. Log in as superuser (root).
2. First, check to determine whether the VEA client package is already installed.

   # pkginfo | grep VRTSobgui

   This command will return VRTSobgui if VRTSobgui is already installed. It will return nothing if the package has not been installed.

3. If the package is installed, remove it using the pkgrm command.

   # pkgrm VRTSobgui

4. To install the new VEA client package for Solaris, insert the appropriate media disc into your system's DVD-ROM drive.
5. Copy the VRTSobgui.tar.gz package, and the dependent packages, to the current working directory on your system.

   # cp /cdrom/cdrom0/storage_foundation/pkgs/VRTSobgui.tar.gz .

   # cp /cdrom/cdrom0/storage_foundation/pkgs/VRTSat.tar.gz .

   # cp /cdrom/cdrom0/storage_foundation/pkgs/VRTSicsco.tar.gz .

   # cp /cdrom/cdrom0/storage_foundation/pkgs/VRTSpbx.tar.gz .

6. Decompress the packages, and then extract the contents.

   # /cdrom/cdrom0/gnu/gunzip *.tar.gz

   # tar xvf VRTSobgui.tar

   # tar xvf VRTSat.tar

   # tar xvf VRTSicsco.tar

   # tar xvf VRTSpbx.tar

7. Use the pkgadd command to install the packages, in the following order, to allow for dependencies. Answer any questions, as the installation proceeds.

   # pkgadd -d . VRTSicsco

   # pkgadd -d . VRTSat

   # pkgadd -d . VRTSpbx

   # pkgadd -d . VRTSobgui

8. The VEA client package for Solaris, and dependent packages, are installed.
