Help/advice needed on installing Communications Suite!
807574Apr 5 2009 — edited Feb 10 2020Hi,
I'm still a new boy with Solaris so this is going to be more of a training excersize then anything else.
Basically I have a Sun E420r server in a home rack along with some Netra T105's to train me up with Solaris. I would like to install the Java Communication Suite on the E420r, however I haven't been able to find any install guides for it on the sun.docs website.
Ok being too hasty with no experiance I downloaded the Enterprise System first and tried installing all components at once (bad idea!) which didn't go in well at all as many of them failed. I have now decided to switch to the Communications Suite standalone installer but I'm still having problems with some components already installed from the Enterprise Suite installer and also I'm not sure how to even get the services up and running.
Sorry if I sound like a total beginner, I have manged to get many things up and running with Solaris 9 and 10 so far but could not find any guides for this at all. I did find this page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1312.2
which is ok for when you have the system setup but what do I do to get it to that stage??
The server also runs the Secure Global Desktop Software coupled with the Sun Ray Server Software of which a Ray client is running off the system. But I really wanted to experiment with the Communications suite too as currently I have Scalix (MS Exchange equivelent) running on a CentOS Linux based system which was relatively straight forward to setup using CLI or GUI it's pretty simple - with documentation of course :-)
If anyone can just give me a hint or point me in the right direction I'd be really greatful!!
Many thanks
