Client installation on Oracle Solaris
To ensure that the capacity data is properly collected from computers that are running on the Oracle Solaris virtualization, install the BigFix client on all required operating systems, zones and domains. Then, set up capacity scans on each endpoint.
Installation order
Install the BigFix client in the following order:- Global zone in the Control Domain (if it exists)
- Global zones
- Local zones and Kernel zones
You might change the order and install the BigFix client on the computers in the local zone first. As a result, these computers have the No Host Scan Data status until you install the BigFix client on the computers in the global zone.
Requirements
The HOSTID values on a local zone and its parent global zone must be the
same to match the guest and host system. Otherwise, BigFix Inventory is unable to
properly build information about the virtualization structure. As a result, guest
operating systems have the No Host Scan Data status.
Examples
The following examples of possible installation scenarios describe in what order you might install the BigFix client on computers in the global and local zones.
