... Before proceeding with the Sun xVM Ops Center server installation, be certain to check that your system's resources meet the requirements described on the [Verifying System Resources|http://wikis.sun.com/display/xVM/Verifying+System+Resources] page.
# Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy the appropriate Sun xVM Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. For example:
{code}
# mkdir /var/tmp/xVM
# cp xVM-Ops-Center-sol-sparc-GA-1-0-2.tar.gz /var/tmp/xVM
{code}
The Sun xVM Ops Center installation archive consumes up to 800 MBytes of disk space.
# Change to the directory where the archive is located on your system, then uncompress and un-{{tar}} the archive. (Note that the following command example retains the original compressed archive file. The data extracted from the archive consumes about 1 GByte of additional space.) List the contents of the temporary directory.
{code}
# cd /var/tmp/xVM
# gzcat xVM-Ops-Center-sol-sparc-GA-1-0-2.tar.gz | tar xf -
