Configuring the Pre-Installed Solaris 10
Operating System
Note –
Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor.
If you have not done so, see
Use the information that you gathered in
“Installation Worksheet” on page 31
as you
perform the configuration.
After configuring the ILOM SP, you can configure the pre-installed Solaris 10
operating system (OS) by using another system to connect to the server, or install a
Linux or Windows platform operating system. The possible ways to do this are
described here:
■
“To Connect to the Server Using the Service Processor’s IP Address” on page 36
If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP
address and the server must be connected to the network.
■
“To Connect to the Server Using a Serial Capture Program” on page 38
If you use this method, you do not need to determine the service processor’s IP
address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial
port of the serial capture host system.
■
If you want to install a supported Linux or Windows OS and the required drivers,
refer to the Sun Fire X4600 Server Operating System Installation Guide (819-4345).
This document also contains procedures for installing the Solaris operating
system from media.
■
For additional OS considerations specific to this server, also refer to the Sun Fire
X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 Servers Product Notes (819-1162) or the Sun Fire X4100
M2 and Sun Fire X4200 M2 Servers Product Notes (819-5038).
