Solaris Zones - new Nagios install

[jomalloy]

We have a Solaris Zone server (running Solaris 10) and a new Nagios install.
the /opt directory is read only by default on the "local" zones
Do we have to install Nagios on the on the "Global" zone?
Thanks!

Is this for an XI server? If so, it will need to be installed on Centos or a registered RHEL server. If not, I'm going to do some looking into this Solaris Zones server deal, you will definitely want to have read/write for most portions of the main install directory.

Actually, I an only installing the agent & plug-ins on the Solaris box.

We actually have a document and a Solaris 10 installer for NRPE (which I believe is what you're isntalling) and at the very least you could download the tarball to see what we are doing in the installation.
