(EN) Diskless Solaris x86 Part 5 : Add StarSuite 8 into diskless client

Part 5 is installation of StarSuite 8. Installation of StarSuite 8 for Japanese environments is written in this blog.


In general, use setup command to install, but you have to use pkgadd command to install StarSuite into diskless client environment.
Detail information is written in the manual at docs.sun.com
StarOffice 8 Collection, English >> StarOffice 8 Administration Guide >> 1. Installing StarOffice

At first, check installation directory of the package, you want to install.
Search pkginfo file of the package to find installation directory of the package. The following is example of searching installation directory of the package of StarSuite 8 for Japanese environment.

And check pkgmap file to find a installation dir of the package.
You can divide to four group as follows.

Packages which are installed into /opt/starsuite8 directory.

Install packages into /opt and /usr for diskless client.

# pkgadd -a /tmp/admin_usr_b -R /export/Solaris_10 -d . SUNWstarsuite-desktop-integratn

Install SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root into / (root) directory.
The following is a example to install it to / (root) directory of w1100z .(/export/root/w1100z)

First step is copy it into /tmp directory.

# cp -r SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root /tmp

Rewrite /tmp/SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root/install/checkinstall as follows. Because checkinstall script does not run in the diskless client setup.
Comment out all and set OFFICE_PATH to /opt/starsuite8 .

# Check if the core package has been installed
#COREPKG=`echo ${PKGINST} | sed 's/desktop-.*/core01/'`

#pkginfo ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT:+'-R'} ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT} -q ${COREPKG}
#if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
#  echo "The ${COREPKG} package could not be found. Please install the"
#  echo "${COREPKG} package and try this installation again"
#  exit 3    # Suspend
#fi

#OFFICE_PATH=`pkginfo ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT:+'-R'} ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT} -r ${COREPKG}`

#cat >$1 <<!
#OFFICE_PATH=${OFFICE_PATH}
#!

OFFICE_PATH=/opt/starsuite8

exit 0

Rewrite /tmp/SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root/pkgmap as follows.
Because, pkgadd check correspondence files in the package before installation.

: 1 33
1 i checkinstall 522 40668 1122390176
1 i copyright 466 43035 1122390173
1 i depend 51 4532 1122390177

1 i postinstall 252 20473 1122390177
1 i space 0 0 1122390177

Changed part is as follows. (change to 522 and 40668)

1 i checkinstall 522 40668 1122390176

The following is installation error, which is gotten if pkgmap file is not rewrited.

# pkgadd -d . SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root

Install SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root into / (root) director of disklecc client.

# pkgadd -a /tmp/admin_default -R /export/root/w1100z -d . SUNWstarsuite-desktop-int-root

After installation, overwrite symbolic link as follows. Because pkgadd made the following symbolic link, but it links to wrong directory.

# cd /export/root/w1100z/etc
# rm starsuite8
# ln -sf ../opt/starsuite8 starsuite8

After that, install latest patches for StarSuite 8 as follows. In this blog, 120190-09 (Product Update 5) is used.

# patchadd -R /export/Solaris_10 120190-09

If an initial version of StarSuite 8 is into NFS v4 server and client mount with NFS v4 client, client cannot execute StarSuite 8. StarSuite 8 outputs error message as follows.

    The application cannot be started 
    The component manager is not available 

This error does not
This bug is not seen in Product Update 5 or later.
If your environment cannot update, change nfs mount type of directory , which has StarSuite 8 binaries, to NFS v3.
Add ver=3 to option part of mounting part of /opt directory in /etc/vfstab of diskless client.
