Why would Machine Agent on Solaris not allow me to set a locale?
Problem
When installing the Machine Agent on Solaris, you can only set the locale if a number of prerequisites are met. Locale includes regional settings such as time zone, language, currency, and others.
Solution
To avoid problems with your Machine Agent installation on Solaris, pre-installation planning may be critical. In particular:
- Machine Agent on Solaris is only supported when the installation is done in Global zones. Be certain that the server you intend to use is installed with Global zones.
- Verify that the Solaris host has the nawk (new awk) utility installed—a requirement of the Solaris Agent.
We also recommend reviewing the installation notes in Install the Machine Agent.
