h3. To Install a Sun xVM Ops Center Proxy
This procedure describes the steps required to install the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy component on a system that meets the recommended specifications for this installation.

Before proceeding with the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy installation, 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.

Use this procedure only to install a Sun xVM Ops Center proxy on a system _other than_ the system on which the Sun xVM Ops Center server is installed.

# Create a temporary directory on your system, then copy the appropriate xVM Ops Center archive for your system from delivery media to the temporary directory that you created. The Sun xVM Ops Center installation archive consumes up to 800 MBytes of disk space. You must use the same xVM Ops Center archive version as the one used to install the Sun xVM Ops Center server with which you will register this proxy. For example:
{code}
# mkdir /var/tmp/xVM
# cp xVM-Ops-Center-sol-sparc-GA-1-0-2.tar.gz /var/tmp/xVM
{code}
# 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 -
# ls

# On SPARC systems, change to the {{SunOS_sparc/Product/installer}} directory and run the {{install}} script with the {{-p}} option. The {{-p}} option causes the {{install}} script to only install the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy-related components. On x86 systems, the {{install}} script is located in the {{SunOS_i386/Product/installer}} directory. When prompted, accept the terms and conditions so that you can continue with the installation. The {{install}} script exits if you do not accept the terms and conditions displayed.
{code}
# cd SunOS_sparc/Product/installer

The screen clears, then the {{install}} script displays a list of installation tasks that automatically updates as the installation proceeds. For example:

The {{install}} script takes about 25 minutes to install Sun xVM Ops Center proxy software. When complete, the {{install}} script indicates that all Sun xVM Ops Center components have been installed, and displays a confirmation message.
# To verify the installation, list the Sun xVM Ops Center services installed by the {{install}} script. Check for services with {{scn}} and {{common}} in their FMRI names. The list should include the the following services:
{code}
# svcs '*scn*' '*common*'
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled 21:57:10 svc:/application/scn/update-agent:default
disabled 22:00:21 svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:default
disabled 22:09:14 svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:scn-proxy
disabled 22:09:18 svc:/application/scn/dhcpd:default
disabled 22:09:20 svc:/application/scn/proxy-run:default

{code}

After installing the Sun xVM Ops Center proxy software, you must register the proxy with a Sun xVM Ops Center server. The [Configuring a Sun xVM Ops Center Proxy|http://wikis.sun.com/display/xVM/Configuring+a+Sun+xVM+Ops+Center+Proxy] page describes the required procedure.
