Collections
The Sun Cluster 3.1 media include the Sun Cluster 3.1 documentation in HTML and PDF formats for direct viewing from the media or for installation into your own environment and integration with your company's web server.
Note: AnswerBook2TM server software is not needed to read Sun Cluster 3.1 online documentation. If you have documentation from previous Solaris releases, continue to use the existing AnswerBook2 server software to read it. If you do not have the AnswerBook2 server software but need it to read existing product documentation, see http://www.sun.com/software/ab2.
The Sun Cluster 3.1 media contains the following:
A navigable table of contents file that enables you to read the HTML or PDF documentation on the media. See Sun Cluster 3.1 Documentation.
A point-and-click interface called "installer" that you can use to install document collections for use with your own web server and environment. The installer is a Web Start utility. See Using the Installer to Install Book Collections.
Directories (/cdrom-mount-point/common/)
that contain online documentation in either HTML or PDF format that
can be installed using the pkgadd command. See
Using pkgadd to Install
Book Collections.
To read documentation directly from the CD-ROM, perform the following steps:
Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 media into the appropriate drive.
The Volume Manager (vold) should mount the media
automatically.
Change the directory to the top level of the media volume.
Among other things, this directory contains a table of contents
for the documentation located on the media (index.html).
Double-click the index.html icon or
load the file into your web browser.
Select the format (HTML or PDF) for the collection that you want to view.
The documentation media include a point-and-click interface called
installer that you can use to install documentation
collections. The installer is a Web Start utility. You can also use
standard utilities, such as pkgadd.
See Using pkgadd to Install Book
Collections.
To install the document collections using the installer, perform the following steps:
Log in as superuser on the machine on which you want to install the documentation packages.
This machine might be a documentation server or an administrative console.
Ensure that the SUNWsdocs package is already installed.
# pkginfo | grep SUNWsdocs
application SUNWsdocs
Documentation Navigation for Solaris 9
Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 media into the appropriate drive.
The Volume Manager (vold) should mount the
media automatically.
Double-click the installer icon and follow the instructions on the screens.
If you are running CDE (Common Desktop Environment) and you see an Action:Run window that has Options and Argument fields, click OK to close the window.
If you are not already logged in as superuser on the system, type the system's root password when prompted.
In the Select Type of Install screen, select Custom, then click Next to continue.
In the Component Selection screen, select Sun Cluster Documentation Collection and deselect Sun Cluster Framework, then click Next to continue.
You can follow the progress of the installation through the status bar.
To view the installed collections, launch an HTML
3.2-compliant web browser, such as Netscape NavigatorTM,
and open the /var/opt/sun_docs/sundocs.html
file.

Book Collections
To install document collection packages from the Sun Cluster 3.1 media
by using the pkgadd utility, perform the following steps:
Log in as superuser on the machine on which you want to install the documentation packages.
This machine might be a documentation server or an administrative console.
Ensure that the SUNWsdocs package is already installed.
# pkginfo | grep SUNWsdocs
application SUNWsdocs
Documentation Navigation for Solaris 9
Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
The Volume Manager (vold) should mount the media
automatically.
Go to the appropriate
cdrom-mount-point/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_N/Packages/
directory on the CD-ROM.
cdrom-mount-point is the mount point, including
volume name, for the CD-ROM device. N is the
release number of the Solaris software that you have installed on the machine.
For example, for Solaris 9 the PATH would include
Sol_9/.
Launch the installation utility.
For example, type the following:
# pkgadd -d .
Select the documentation collections you want to install from the list.
Because there is no web server located on the Sun Cluster 3.1 media, there is no built-in search feature on the media. To search the Sun Cluster 3.1 documentation to find the right book, use one of the following actions:
Go to the Sun online documentation Web site at
http://docs.sun.com.
This Web site contains online documentation for current and previous
Sun Cluster releases, as well as for many other Sun products.
docs.sun.com provides multiple entry points into
the documentation,
including a robust search engine that can handle complex searches.
Install the document collections in your own environment and connect them to a search engine. This approach requires that you do the following:
Have a web server installed on your system.
Have a search engine installed on your system.
If you do not have a search engine, Sun includes a simple
freeware search utility (sgrep) on the Solaris 9
12/02 Companion CD. For more information, see the sgrep man
page on the Solaris 9 12/02 Companion CD or the sgrep Web
site at
http://www.cs.Helsinki.FI/u/jjaakkol/sgrep.html.
