Known Problems, Workarounds, and Limitations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the Software
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following topics are covered in this section:
  * Installation Script Tasks
  * Supported Options

Installation Script Tasks
-------------------------
The installation script performs the following tasks:
    - Checks the packages that are installed on the system to determine if the 
      system is running at least Java version 1.5 technology.
    - Checks if required patches are installed and if not, installs them.
    - Checks if Sun Connection Update Manager packages are installed. 
      If not installed, the installation script installs the packages.

Supported Options
-----------------
The installation script has the following options:
    -b Batch mode: runs in non-interactive mode. If this mode is on 
       and the script requires any info it will stop.
    -d Turns debug mode on.
    -R Installs packages to an alternate root directory. 

How to Install this Software
----------------------------
If you want to use an option during installation, review "Supported 
Options" carefully before running the command.

1.) Download the bundle from the Sun Download Center to /tmp
2.) Become a superuser.
3.) Unzip the bundle.
4.) Type the following command to run the installation script:
    # update_connection/install

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Launch Sun Connection Update Manager
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Launching the Sun Connection Update Manager GUI
-----------------------------------------------
1.) Type the following command
    # /usr/bin/updatemanager

On first launch of Update Manager the user will be taken through the Sun 
Connection Update Manager registration process (required before Update Manager
or smpatch can be used).


CLI only option:
----------------
The CLI tool, /usr/sbin/sconadm, can be used to register and configure 
the system for Sun Connection Update Manager without launching a GUI. 
For instructions on how to do this see Sun Connection 1.0, System Edition 
Registration Guide for the Command Line Interface link at 
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hubs/connection/tasks/install.jsp
Additionally there are instructions in the file 
/usr/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties.

Note: 
-----
S8/S9 does not support the -h, -e or -E options of sconadm

Once registered the CLI tool, /usr/bin/smpatch, can also used to analyze 
and patch your system.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uninstalling the Software
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation script copies the following to /var/update_connection:
  * uninstall: script used to uninstall Sun Connection Update Manager
  * install_util: utility tool used by install script (not directly invoked)
  * uninstall_list: List of packages to be removed during uninstall
  * patch_uninstall_list: List of patches to be removed during uninstall

The uninstallation script performs the following tasks:
    - Removes packages and patches previously installed by the install script

The uninstall script supports the following options:
   -d  Turns debug mode on.
   -R  <root-dir> uninstalls packages that were installed at the specified 
       directory. This command essentially does pkgrm -R <root-dir>.

How to Uninstall Sun Connection Update Manager
----------------------------------------------
1.) Become a superuser.    
2.) Type the following command to uninstall the Sun Connection Update Manager packages:
    # /var/update_connection/uninstall
