Supported Upgrade Paths

Edit the /etc/hosts file to remove this mapping, and add a new entry that maps the name of the SGD

host to the network IP address of the SGD host. The SGD host name must not be mapped to the local

loopback IP address.

• When installing on Oracle Linux 6 platforms, choose the Desktop or Software Development Workstation

package group. This ensures that the required packages for the default SGD webtop are installed.

Required packages include graphical administration tools, and X clients such as xterm and gnome-

terminal.

Alternatively, you can choose another package group during installation and use the Customize Now

option to add the required packages from the Desktops category.

2.1.2.1.3. 5250 and 3270 Applications

The following modifications are required to support 5250 and 3270 applications:

• Linux platforms. The libXm.so.3 library is required. This library is available in the OpenMotif 2.2

package.

• Solaris 11 platforms. Install the motif package, as follows:

# pkg install motif

2.1.2.2. Virtualization Support

The supported installation platforms for SGD are supported on a Type 1 (bare metal) hypervisor or a

Type 2 (hosted) hypervisor, for example Oracle VM VirtualBox, VMWare, or Oracle VM Server for SPARC

(previously called Sun Logical Domains or LDoms).

Installation in zones is supported for Oracle Solaris platforms. SGD can be installed either in the global

zone, or in one or more non-global zones. Installation in both the global zone and a non-global zone is not

supported.

On Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions platforms, you must install SGD in a labeled zone. Do not install

SGD in the global zone.
