Installing the BigFix client

The BigFix client must be installed on all boot environments to use Solaris Live Upgrade correctly.

About this task

You can install the client from the Manage Solaris Boot Environments dashboard. To know more about how the client installation works from the Manage Solaris Boot Environments dashboard, see BigFix client installation behavior.

You cannot select the boot environment for Live Upgrade from the dashboard if the client is not installed in the boot environment.
Note: Systems with only one inactive boot environment that do not have the client installed are by default selected for Live Upgrade.

Procedure

  1. From the Manage Solaris Boot Environments dashboard, choose the inactive boot environments where you want the client to be installed.
  2. Click Install Client.

    It usually takes a few minutes for the targeted computers to report back their Action status.

Results

The client is now installed in the selected boot environments.
