This chapter explains the procedures you must follow to install Broadband Access Center (BAC) in a Solaris operating system environment.
Before you install BAC, ensure that you are ready by reviewing the following checklist:
1. Verify if your system meets the minimum system hardware and software requirements described in Overview, page 1-1.
2. Ensure that you have root access to the computers on which you intend to install BAC components.
3. Keep your BAC license key or keys at hand. You need a valid license key for each technology that you want to provision with BAC.
4. Determine the home directory (BPR_HOME) in which you want to install the BAC component or components. The default directory is /opt/CSCObpr. Ensure that the target installation directory has enough disk space.
Note We recommend that you have at least 350 MB of disk space available.
5. For the RDU, determine where you want to install the data directory (BPR_DATA) and the database transaction logs (BPR_DBLOG). The default directory is /var/CSCObpr. Ensure that the target installation directory has enough disk space.
Note We recommend that you locate the data directory on a different physical disk than the home directory; for example, /var/disk0/CSCObpr. The disk should have at least 1 GB and up to 30 GB of free space.
The installation program, by default, installs the database transaction logs directory and the data directory in the same location. We recommend that you locate the database transaction logs directory on the fastest disk on the system. Also, ensure that 1 GB of disk space is available.
6. For the RDU, determine the listening port number. This port is the interface that the RDU uses to communicate with other BAC components, such as DPEs and Cisco Network Registrar extension points. The default port is 49187.
7. For the RDU, select the shared secret password that BAC servers on your network use as a token to authenticate communication with one another. The shared secret password should be the same for all BAC servers on your network. The default shared secret password is secret.
8. Ensure that Network Registrar 5.5.12 is installed on the servers on which you are installing BAC extensions. We recommend that you install version 6.2.3.2 or later.
9. For the Network Registrar extensions, determine the name of the provisioning group to which the Network Registrar server belongs.
10. For the Network Registrar extensions, determine where you want to install the data directory (BPR_DATA). The default directory is /var/CSCObpr.
11. Verify that you have the necessary Network Registrar configuration files. For an example of these configuration files, see the Network Registrar Configuration File Example, page A-1.
12. Verify that you have the necessary KDC servers available.
You install BAC from the GUI or the command-line interface (CLI). BAC ships with both interfaces are supplied with BAC. Refer to:
The initial steps in the BAC installation program are identical regardless of the component you are installing. Complete the steps described in this initial installation procedure before you proceed further.
To install BAC from the command line:
Step 1 Log in to the intended BAC host as root.
Step 2 At the Solaris system prompt, change directory to your CD-ROM drive or other installation media.
Ensure that the gzip and gtar utilities are available on your system to decompress and unpack the BAC installation file, and:
a. Change to the directory in which you will decompress and extract the installation file.
b. Decompress the file with the .gtar.gz extension. Use this syntax:
gunzip -d BACC_271_SolarisK9.gtar.gz
c. Unpack the file with the .gtar extension that gunzip decompressed:
tar -xvf BACC_271_SolarisK9.gtar
The utility creates the /BACC_271_SolarisK9 directory in which the installation program, setup.bin, is extracted.
d. Change to the /BACC_271_SolarisK9 directory:
cd BACC_271_SolarisK9
Step 3 To start the installation program, enter:
# ./setup.bin -console
The installation program verifies that you have installed the required patches to the Solaris operating system. When the verification ends, welcome information appears.
