Prerequisites (Solaris)
These prerequisites must be satisfied before you begin installing
SPECTRUM on a Solaris system.
Root Privileges
You must have root privileges to perform a SPECTRUM installation on
Solaris systems; therefore, before running the installation software, you
must log on as root. The installation software needs root privileges to
evaluate available resources and run custom installation scripts. Installing
as root also ensures root privileges for the setuid executable so that
SpectroSERVER can connect to SNMP ports. Since an initial installation
generates residual files with root ownership, any upgrade installation also
requires root privileges.
Fixed IP Address
The system you want to install on must have a fixed IP address.
SPECTRUM cannot be installed on a workstation with more than one IP
address. The target workstation can have Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) enabled as long as the DHCP server issues a static address that will
never change.
