How To Install Sun Explorer In Solaris 11 Commands

  1. Here I am just sharing few tips to find the server serial number from Oracle Solaris. Download the STB (Sun explorer) bundle from oracle website and install it by just executing the script. After installing STB bundle,by default SNEEP utility also will be installed on the server. You can find the sneep utilities in the below mentioned location.
  2. Nohup./explorer & B) Secondly, is Sun explorer installed by default when Solaris 10 is installed - it's strange that of the 2 newly installed Solaris 10 servers that I have, one has explorer in it while the other doesn't (I check by 'pkginfo grep SUNWexpl' which gives SUNWexplo & SUNWexplu on one server but nothing on the other) C).

How To Install Sun Explorer In Solaris 11 CommandsHow

Use the following procedure to install Oracle Explorer after you havedownloaded the latest installer, as described in How to Download Oracle Explorer.

Note –

The utpkgcheck command uses the Oracle Solaris 11 Image Packaging System (IPS) to install the additional packages. The utpkgcheck command uses the repository URI that is configured for the solaris package publisher. Use the following command to install the additional packages on an Oracle Solaris 11 server. Or, if the MANPATH environment variable is set, the command would be: man -s 1m explorer Solaris 11. For Solaris 11 and later, man pages are already on the default man path. The man pages are located in the /usr/lib/explorer/man directory for Solaris 11 and later. To access the Explorer man pages using the default man path, run: man explorer.

Oracle Explorer must be installed in the global zone if you areinstalling it on the Solaris 10 Operating System (SolarisOS). In Solaris 10, the pkgadd command includes a -g flagthat restricts installation to the global zone.

  1. If a version of Oracle Explorer is installed on the host,remove the SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu packagesbefore installing the new Oracle Explorer package.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Type the following command at the prompt:

    pkgrmSUNWexplo

    If the SUNWexplu package is also installed, typethe following command at the prompt:

    pkgrm SUNWexplu

    Note –

    Removing the current SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu package saves the Oracle Explorer defaults file.

    InOracle Explorer 3.6.2 and earlier versions, the defaults file is explorer_install_dir/etc/default/explorer.

    In OracleExplorer 4.0 and later versions, the defaults file is /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer.

    You can save the defaults file and use it as inputwhen you run the explorer-g command tocreate or update the defaults file. During installation of Oracle Explorerversion 4.0 or later, this file is moved from the explorer_install_dir/etc/default/explorer directory to the /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer directory. The contents ofthe defaults file are displayed as the default responses when you run the explorer-g command.

    The output directory of the most recent Oracle Explorer run is savedin the explorer_install_dir/output directory.

  4. Extract Oracle Explorer from Services Tools Bundle (STB) using -ext option .

    To obtain the STB installeroptions, type ./install_stb.sh -help

  5. Uncompress and untar the Explorer_<version>.tar.Z file:


    Decide which of the following commands you should use to untar the file:

    • If you do not have zcat installed, type:
