Installing the Solaris Operating
Environment Over a GigaSwift Ethernet
Network

The Solaris Advanced Installation Guide describes the full procedure for installing the
Solaris operating environment over the network. The procedure below assumes that
you have created an install server, which contains the image of the Solaris CD, and
that you have set up the client system to be installed over the network.

Before you can install the Solaris operating environment on a client system with a
GigaSwift Ethernet adapter, you must first add the GigaSwift Ethernet software
packages to the install server. These software packages are on Sun GigaSwift Ethernet
Driver 1.0 Update 1
CD.

Note –

Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for more information about

installing the Solaris operating environment over the network.

To Install the Solaris Environment Over a
GigaSwift Ethernet Network

1. Prepare the install server and client system to install the Solaris operating

environment over the network.

The Solaris Advanced Installation Guide describes how to create the install server and
set up the client systems.

Note –

If you want to install the client system over a network that is not part of the

same subnet, you must also create a boot server. The Solaris Advanced Installation
Guide
describes how to create a boot server.
