About this task
You can install and
use the GIM client in a
Solaris slave zone or an AIX workload partition (WPAR). This enables you to use the
GIM client to install
an
S-TAP in
a slave zone or WPAR. When you install an
S-TAP in a slave zone
or WPAR, the
K-TAP is disabled,
regardless of the setting of the
ktap_enabled parameter. You can also use the
GIM client
to install the Configuration Auditing System (CAS) agent in a slave zone or WPAR. You cannot install
the discovery bundle in a slave zone or WPAR; the discovery agent running on the global zone can
collect information from other zones. The process for installing the
GIM client in a
Solaris slave zone or an AIX workload partition is the same as the process for installing in the
master zone. The installation can take a few seconds longer than installing in the master zone. If
you install the
GIM client on a
Solaris system with master and slave zones, you must install the client in the same location on the
master and slave zones. This location cannot be a shared
directory.
On Solaris, the
GIM client
and supervisor in each slave zone are controlled by the GIM supervisor process that runs in the
master zone. If the supervisor process on the master zone is shut down, all GIM processes on the
slave zones are shut down as well.
Note: GIM requires 300 MB minimum of disk space, and 700 MB if
FAM module is also being installed.
