If you need to manage a Solaris 10 box with a minimal install, and SSH is not available, you can install it off of the 2nd CD. Rather than figure out the path to your CDROM (see this article), it was easier in our case to just tar up the needed packages and FTP them to our Solaris box:
root@srv-3 Product # cp -R SUNWsshcu SUNWsshdr SUNWsshdu SUNWsshr SUNWsshu /home/srv-1/sshpkg/ root@srv-3 Product # cd /home/srv-1/sshpkg/ root@srv-3 sshpkg # ls SUNWsshcu SUNWsshdr SUNWsshdu SUNWsshr SUNWsshu root@srv-3 sshpkg # tar -cf ../ssh.tar * root@srv-3 sshpkg # tar -tf ../ssh.tar SUNWsshcu/ SUNWsshcu/archive/ . . . SUNWsshu/reloc/ SUNWsshu/reloc/usr/ SUNWsshu/reloc/usr/bin/ SUNWsshu/reloc/usr/lib/ SUNWsshu/reloc/usr/lib/ssh/ root@srv-3 sshpkg # |
On the Solaris side, FTP these to /tmp, then from tmp:
tar -xf ssh.tar pkgadd -d . svcadm enable ssh svcadm restart ssh |
Now that SSH is installed, grab Putty or an alternative SSH client and get connected!
