Since 2009 (time of my ), I found out that the self-extracting scripts were perfectly compatible with non-standard path (like installing a JDK in a user's $HOME/usr/local for instance, instead of the system path /usr/local) The latest lists: Solaris SPARC - Self Extracting Binary 86.05 MB jdk-6u26-solaris-sparc.sh Solaris SPARC 64-bit - Self Extracting Binary 12.24 MB jdk-6u26-solaris-sparcv9.sh You need to be careful if you copy them from Windows to your server (with for instance): you need to copy those two sh scripts (or they won't work once copied on the Unix server). Once on the server, you need to chmod 755 the two.sh (the second being needed only if you have a ). Execute them both (for instance in $HOME/usr/local, as the user without needing any root privilege), first jdk-6u26-solaris-sparc.sh, then if needed jdk-6u26-solaris-sparcv9.sh.

That will create a $HOME/usr/local/jdf1.6.0_26 in which you have a fully operation JDK. • no root right necessary (contrary to pkgadd) • no environment variable modified: you will need to add $HOME/usr/local/jdf1.6.0_26/bin to your $PATH if you want to use that particular JDK, but the point is: this installation won't disturb any of your current environment settings. (note: the JAVA_HOME isn't set of course, but ). Update 2011: see my: no more sudo pkgadd necessary. First answer in 2009: There are two methods for installing a JDK: • Self-extracting binary (shell script) • Solaris packages ( pkgadd command) Since the Self-extracting binary is not meant to be configured to install in non-standard path, I would recommend the later one (packages).

You need to: • jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc.tar.Z (main package, used for 32-bits installation) • jdk-6u16-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z (small package, used for 64-bits additional-step installation) Since the content extraction of those compressed archives creates files directly in the current directory, I would advise moving each archive in its dedicated repository $ mkdir jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc $ mv jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc.tar.Z jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc $ cd jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc $ zcat jdk-6-solaris-sparc.tar.Z tar -xf - $ cd. $ mkdir jdk-6u16-solaris-sparcv9 $ mv jdk-6u16-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z jdk-6u16-solaris-sparcv9 $ cd jdk-6u16-solaris-sparcv9 $ zcat jdk-6-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z tar -xf - What is not mentioned in the documentation is the case when you need a local installation (in a local zone), separate from a global JDK already installed in /usr/java ( /usr is not writable from a local zone). The ' -R' option of pkgadd comes in handy in this case. $ cd jdk-6u16-solaris-sparc $ sudo pkgadd -R /MY_REP -d.

SUNWj6rtx SUNWj6dvx SUNWj6dmx Here JDK6 is installed under: /MY_REP/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0 /MY_REP/usr/java ->jdk/jdk1.6.0_16/ /MY_REP/usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_16 ->instances/jdk1.6.0/ No need to 'root shell' (which is 'evil' anyway) as mentioned by the Sun documentation: a ' sudo root pkgadd' is enough.

SPARC: Performing an Installation or Upgrade With the Solaris Installation Program You can either install or upgrade the Solaris OS by using the Solaris installation program. This section lists the tasks you need to perform to install the Solaris OS, and provides detailed instructions about how to install the Solaris OS from DVD or CD media. SPARC: To Install or Upgrade With the Solaris Installation Program This procedure describes how to install a standalone SPARC based system from CD or DVD media. Note – If you want to install the Solaris OS on a machine or domain that does not have a directly attached DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive, you can use a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive that is attached to another machine. For detailed instructions, refer to. Before You Begin Perform the following tasks before you begin your installation. • Ensure that you have the following media.

• For a DVD installation, the Solaris 10 Operating System for SPARC Platforms DVD • For a CD installation: • Solaris 10 Software CDs. • Solaris 10 Languages for SPARC Platforms CD – The installation program prompts you for this CD if necessary to support languages for specific geographic regions.

Note – If you want to upgrade a system that has non-global zones installed, you cannot use the Solaris 10 Software CDs. You must use the Solaris 10 Operating System DVD or a DVD-based network installation image. • Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements. Your system should meet the following requirements.
