To install the agent

This section provides instructions for installing the Oracle Solaris agent on the global zone.

1. Install the RSCD agent on the global zone, as described in Installing-only-the-RSCD-agent-Linux-and-UNIX. Be sure to install the RSCD agent that is specifically designated for use with a Solaris server.
2. Open the /etc/rsc/exports file and add an entry with the application server IP address or host name and a read/write mapping. This restricts access to accept connections only from the listed appserver. For example:
   192.168.0.1  rw
3. Open the /etc/rsc/users.local file and add an entry for a role and user that should be mapped to the root account. For example:
   BLAdmins:BLAdmin rw,map=root
4. Save and close the files.

For more information about the exports and users.local files please see Setting-up-configuration-files.
