Installation of the disconnected scanner on Oracle Solaris
To ensure that the capacity data is properly collected from computers that are running on the Oracle Solaris virtualization, install the disconnected scanner on all required zones and domains. Then, set up capacity scans on each computer.
Installation order
Install the disconnected scanner 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 disconnected scanner on the computers in the local zone first. As a result, these computers have the No Host Scan Data status until you install the scanner 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, License Metric Tool 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 disconnected scanner on computers in the global and local zones.
