Installing on Solaris

The downloaded installation package contains the compressed installation files.

Two packages are required: one for the common components of Tectia Client and Server, and one for the specific components of Tectia Client.

Tectia Client includes support for Zones on Solaris 10 and 11. The Tectia software can be installed into the global and local zones. When the Tectia software is installed into the global zone, it becomes automatically installed also into the existing local zones. However, if the local zones are added into the system later, the Tectia Client needs to be separately installed on them.

In case you are installing Tectia Client into a sparse zone, note that the installation process will report a failure in creating symlinks. The actual installation is finished successfully, but you need to manually add the /opt/tectia/bin to the path settings.

For information on the Solaris Zones, see the Oracle documentation: System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones.

To install Tectia Client on Solaris, follow the instructions below:

Unpack the downloaded tar package.
Select the installation package according to your Solaris version.
When installing on Solaris version 10 running on the SPARC architecture, use the packages named:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<version>-solaris-10-sparc.pkg.Z 
ssh-tectia-client-<version>-solaris-10-sparc.pkg.Z 
```
When installing on Solaris version 11 running on the SPARC architecture, use the packages named:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<version>-solaris-11-sparc.pkg.Z 
ssh-tectia-client-<version>-solaris-11-sparc.pkg.Z 
```
When installing on Solaris version 10 or 11 running on the x86-64 architecture, use the packages named:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<version>-solaris-<solaris-version>-x86_64.pkg.Z 
ssh-tectia-client-<version>-solaris-<solaris-version>-x86_64.pkg.Z 
```
In the commands, <version> indicates the product release version and the current build number (for example, 6.5.1.123). <solaris-version> refers to the Solaris version number (10 or 11), in case of installing on x86-64 architecture.
Unpack the installation packages to a suitable place. The standard place is /var/spool/pkg in Solaris environment. In the command examples below, we use Solaris 10 x86-64:
```
$ uncompress ssh-tectia-common-<version>-solaris-10-x86_64.pkg.Z
$ uncompress ssh-tectia-client-<version>-solaris-10-x86_64.pkg.Z
```

Install the packages with the pkgadd tool with root privileges:

# pkgadd -d ssh-tectia-common-<version>-solaris-10-x86_64.pkg all
# pkgadd -d ssh-tectia-client-<version>-solaris-10-x86_64.pkg all
