clustadd(1M)

NAME
clustadd - load software cluster(s) onto the system

SYNOPSIS
# cd mount_point
# bin/clustadd [ -n ] [ -x ] [ -a admin ] [ -d device ] [ -b basedir ] [ -r response ] [ -h ] [ clustinst1 [ clustinst2 ] ...]

DESCRIPTION

clustadd transfers the contents of a software package from the distribution medium or directory and installs it onto the system. Used without the -d option, clustadd looks in the "./packages" directory for the clusters.

Before running clustadd, you must change directories to the mount_point (the distribution medium or directory from which you want to transfer the software package).

Certain unbundled and third-party packages are no longer entirely compatible with the latest version of clustadd. These packages require user interaction throughout the installation and not just at the very beginning.

To install these older packages (released prior to Solaris 2.4), set the following environment variable:

    NONABI_SCRIPTS=TRUE

clustadd will permit keyboard interaction throughout the installation as long as this environment variable is set.

OPTIONS

-n  Installation occurs in non-interactive mode. The default mode is interactive.

-x  (SPARC only) Does not install 64-bit packages. The default is to install all packages.

-a admin
    Define an installation administration file, admin, to be used in place of the default administration file. The token none overrides the use of any admin file, and thus forces interaction with the user. Unless a full path name is given, clustadd first looks in the current working directory for the administration file. If the specified administration file is not in the current working directory, clustadd looks in the /var/sadm/install/admin directory for the administration file.

-d device
    Install or copy a package from device. device can be a full path name to a directory or the identifiers for tape, floppy disk or removable disk (for example, /var/tmp or /floppy/floppy_name ). It can also be a device alias (for example, /floppy/floppy0).

-b basedir
    Defines a directory where the installation will occur (overrides /opt as the default installation directory).

-r response
    Identify a file or directory which contains output from a previous pkgask(1M) session. This file supplies the interaction responses that would be requested by the package in interactive mode. response must be a full pathname.

-h  Displays basic usage information.

clustinst
    Specify the package instance or list of instances to be installed. The token all may be used to refer to all packages available on the source medium.

When executed without options, clustadd uses the current directory.

EXAMPLE

The following example installs WorkShop products from a hypothetical network distribution area. You are prompted for the name of the products (metaclusters) you want to install.

example# cd /cdrom
example# bin/clustadd -d /net/sunmicro/workshop/packages

EXIT STATUS
The following error values are returned: 0 Successful completion.

>0  An error occurred.
