SDX 6.4.x Application Library Guide > Installing the SDX Applications > Before You Install the Applications

Before You Install the Applications

Before you install any SDX application, read SDX Getting Started Guide, Chapter 5, Installing the SDX-300 Software. The information in that chapter provides a useful background for installing the SDX applications. It includes information about installing necessary Solaris patches to the installation host, root versus nonroot users, establishing users and groups for software administration, and other topics you should consider before installing an SDX application.

The SDX applications are distributed as Solaris packages or Web application archive (WAR) files.

Table 5 lists the components for each application, their Solaris package names, and the directories where each component is installed by default. In Table 5, the directories listed are all subordinate to /opt/UMC.

Installation Prerequisites

Consider the following information before you begin installation of the SDX applications.

Solaris Patches

Be sure that the installation host is up to date with Sun's recommended patches for the Solaris operating system. See SDX Getting Started Guide, Chapter 4, Before You Install the SDX-300 Software for information about installing patches.

ACP

The Admission Control Plug-In (ACP) application uses the SAE plug-in interface. You can install ACP on the same host as the SAE; doing so will simplify the SDX configuration. However, you may improve the performance of the SDX network by installing ACP on a separate host from the SAE.

Workflow

• You must not install the Workflow application on the same host where the SAE is installed.
• The Workflow application is designed to work with the Tomcat Web application server. You can download and install Tomcat from

http://Jakarta.apache.org/tomcat

The Workflow application also works with the JBoss Web application server. However, the installation process for the Workflow application is configured for use with Tomcat. If you use the JBoss Web application server, you need to configure the Workflow application manually. For more information, consult Juniper Networks Professional Services.
