Installing the Solaris Driver
This procedure assumes that the Solaris 2.5.1 or later operating
system is already installed on your system. If it is not, refer to the
Sun documentation.
Installing the Md5/DFP driver for your Sun host requires about
500 KB of free space:
• 200 KB in
/kernel/drv
• 100 KB in
/usr/openwin/server/modules
• 200 KB in
/usr/lib
The installation procedure for Solaris performs these tasks:
• Adds the device driver
• Adds the OpenWindows™ loadable DDX driver
• Modifies the
OWconfig
file
• Installs the
DOMEmdlib
shared object library
To install the driver
1. Log on as
root
.
2. Insert the DOME Md5/DFP Solaris driver CD into the
CD-ROM drive.
3. Mount the CD device if the system does not automount it.
Then type:
cd /cdrom/dome
If a previous version of the driver software exists on
your system, you must remove it before you install
the new package. To do so, type
pkgrm
, and select the
DOMEmd5f
and
DOMEmdlib
packages for removal.
If the
DOMEmdlib
package already installed on the
system is newer than that on the CD, do not remove it.
