Overview of WSM Installation

• The WSM system currently is a standard Sun
  Sunfire V120 server pre-installed with the
  Solaris 8 operating system.
• The installation process consists of the
  following
• Gather required installation data
• Install a customized Solaris 9 operating system
• Install third party software packages used by WSM
  applications
• Install WSM software application components
• The install steps are conceptually referred to as
  layers of the WSM installation.
• Each layer installation must be completed in the
  specified order as depicted on the previous
  slide. This implies that the WSM CDs must be
  installed in the order depicted as well.

10
WSM Installation Documents

• The primary document used to perform an
  installation is the WSM Installation MOP (Method
  of Procedure).
• The MOP describes the required actions and
  expected results of each step needed to complete
  the installation.
• Always refer to the MOP when performing an
  installation!
• Refer to the WSM Troubleshooting Guide in case
  errors are encountered during the installation
  process.

11
Required Installation Data

• In order to successfully install the WSM, some
  information must be collected prior to starting
  the installation.
• This information includes
• Network information (Hostname, IP address,
  default route, subnet mask)
• VLAN configuration information
• IP address of external server (DNS server)
• The required information may change in the
  future, so always consult the MOP Fresh Install
  Preparation steps to determine what information
  is needed for installation.

12
Operating System Layer

• This layer consists of the Solaris 9 operating
  system.
• After this layer is installed, the WSM
• Will be configured with all network parameters.
• Hard disks will be partitioned as needed for the
  WSM applications.
• Disk partitions will be mirrored across the two
  WSM hard drives.
• Basic operating system utilities, libraries and
  executables will be available.

13
OS Layer Installation

• The WSM by default has a Solaris 8 OS installed
  when it ships from the factory. This OS must be
  removed.
• The first 2 CDs of the WSM installation media
  contain the OS software.
• The first CD is a bootable CD that contains a
  basic environment that performs the installation.
• The Sun Solaris Jumpstart installation
  procedure is used to install the WSM OS
• The Jumpstart installation allows the first CD to
  contain a set of scripts that will be executed
  prior to installing the OS and a set of scripts
  that will be executed immediately after the OS is
  installed.
• The actual OS installation involves creating the
  necessary filesystems, configuring basic system
  parameters and extracting base OS packages to
  disk.

OS Layer Installation Flowchart
Jumpstart Begin (Gather WSM System Configuration
Data)
Boot CD 1
OS Layer Start
Create disk partitions and filesystems
Copy and install OS packages from CD 1
Prompt for CD 2 insertion
Copy and install OS packages From CD 2
Reboot WSM and prompt for CD 3
Jumpstart Finish (Gather additional WSM System
Configuration Data)
OS Layer Finish
15
3rd Party Software Layer

• The third party software layer is the first part
  of the WSM Installation Software CD 3
  installation.
• This layer consists of software packages that are
  not supplied by the OS but are required for the
  WSM applications to operate correctly.

16
Summary

• The WSM installation is a single step in the
  overall SCCAN solution installation.
• The WSM installation process consists of 4
  distinct layers
• OS layer
• Third party software layer
• WSM application layer
• The installation is performed via 3 WSM
  installation CDs.
• Two OS installation CDs
• One WSM application CD
• Installation instructions are supplied in form of
  a MOP.
• The installation process is largely automated
  except for entering system/network configuration
  data.
