Installing the JPS

Before you use the JPS for the first time:

  1. Deploy an SRC-managed PCMM network.

For more information about PCMM and the SRC software, see Chapter 4, Providing Premium Services in a PCMM Environment.

  1. Install the UMCjps package.
  2. pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/solaris UMCjps 
    
    
    

For information about installing Solaris packages, see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 28, Installing the SRC Software on a Solaris Platform.

  1. Apply the local configuration on the host.
  2. /opt/UMC/jps/etc/config -a 
    
    
    

This command examines the local machine environment, customizes the etc/jps.in and etc/jpsroot.in files, and installs the customized files as the etc/jps and etc/jpsroot files.

NOTE: You must apply the local configuration once after installing the JPS.


If you want to configure the JPS to send time change events to the RKS, apply the local configuration using the command described in Configuring the JPS for Time Change Event Notification.

Configuring the JPS for Time Change Event Notification

PCMM-compliant policy servers send time change events to the RKS. You can configure the JPS to send time change events to the RKS by using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time with the local clock.

NOTE: Configuring NTP on the system may interfere with all other time-sensitive components on the system. We recommend that you configure NTP only if the JPS is running on the system by itself.


To configure the JPS to send time change events to the RKS:

  1. On the JPS host, log in as root.
  2. Configure the NTP servers.
  3. /opt/UMC/jps/etc/config -a -t <ntpServer>,<ntpServer> 
    
    
    

where ntpServer is the DNS name or IP address of an NTP server accessible from the JPS host. Use a comma to separate each NTP server if you specify more than one.

This command schedules an NTP cron job every 10 minutes to synchronize the local clock for the JPS with the NTP servers. The JPS sends the time change event to the RKS if the local clock changes during synchronization.

Modifying the Local Clock

If you have configured NTP servers for the JPS by using the procedure described in Configuring the JPS for Time Change Event Notification, do not modify the time for the local clock by using the standard date command.

To modify the local clock:

  1. On the JPS host, log in as root.
  2. Modify the time for the local clock.
  3. /opt/UMC/jps/etc/jpsDate [<MMDDhhmm>[[<CC>]<YY>][.<ss>]] 
    
    
    

where MM indicates the month, DD indicates the day, hh indicates the hour, mm indicates the minute, CC indicates the century minus one, YY indicates the last 2 digits of the year, and ss indicates the second.

The month, day, year, and century may be omitted; the current values are applied as defaults.

For example, the following entry sets the date to Oct 8, 12:45 AM:

/opt/UMC/jps/etc/jpsDate 10080045 

The current year is the default because no year is supplied.
