Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Linux Operating System Installation Guide • May, 2004

Note –

The following steps are for installing NPS drivers, which include JNET and

machine check kernel drivers, and POCI, a monitoring daemon. This software is
required in order to enable hardware monitoring, OS state reporting, and SNMP
proxy service to the server’s service processor.

6. Locate the NPS RPM on the Documentation and Support Files CD that

corresponds to your operating system version and architecture.

The NPS RPM files are located in OS-specific directories within this top level path on
the CD:

/support/sysmgmt/

7. Install the NPS RPM by typing the following command:

# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/support/sysmgmt/redhat/rhel3/

nps-V2

.rpm

Where nps-V2 represents the version and architecture of the NPS RPM file.

Alternatively, the NPS RPM can be compiled and installed from source by typing the
following commands:

# cd /usr/src/redhat

# tar -xvf /mnt/cdrom/support/sysmgmt/src/nps-V2*.tar.gz

# rpm -bb SPECS/nps.spec

# rpm -ivh `find ./RPMS | grep nps`

Note –

Some Linux variants might require the

rpmbuild

command instead of the

rpm

command. Check with the documentation for your version of Linux.

8. After successful installation, reboot the system by running the following

command:

# reboot
