It assumes that you are booting the installation media from one of the following sources:. Prior to performing the installation, the following requirements must be met:. Note that the following procedure explains the initial steps for booting the installation media and launching the Solaris installation program.
After completing this procedure, you should review and perform the required post installation tasks described later in this chapter. For more details, see Post Solaris Installation Tasks. Ensure that the installation media is available to boot.
The Please Select Boot Device menu appears. The device strings listed on Boot Device menu are in the format of: device type, slot indicator, and product ID string. The system loads the Solaris disk image into memory. This process can take several minutes.
When it completes, the Install Type menu appears. In the Install Type menu, choose the type of int erface that you want to use to perform the installation. The system discovers and configures the devices and interfaces. If the system discovers a keyboard, the Configure Keyboard Layout menu appears. In the Configure Keyboard Layout menu, select the appropriate keyboard layout, then press F2 to continue. The system configures the keyboard layout selection and searches for configuration files.
If you did not select a GUI interface earlier, skip to Step A second screen appears to confirm that the GUI is functioning. Review this table to determine which driver, if any, are currently required for installation on your system. For additional information about this device driver, see:. This features enables you to power on the server from another location over the network.
If you do not install the RAID management software on your system, the system will not be able to detect and report disk errors. All rights reserved. Installing Solaris Review installation prerequisites. Choose an installation method. Installation Methods. Install patches, post installation, if necessary. Note - The next events occur very quickly; therefore, focused attention is needed for the following steps.
Watch carefully for these messages as they appear on the screen for a brief time. Note - The screens that are displayed on your system might vary depending on the type of interface you chose to configure in Step 6.
The following sample screens appearing in this procedure are based on the default graphical user interface GUI option option 1. Note - The sample screen shown below reflects the GUI installation program. If you are running a text-based installation interface, the text-based Solaris program Welcome screen not shown will appear. Note - If you did not configure the system to automatically reboot when the installation completes, you must manually reboot the system.
Note - JumpStart can help you eliminate some or most of the manual tasks of setting up the Solaris Operating System for the first time on multiple servers. However, RAID 0 is optional.
See the following documents for installation instructions:. The following two sample commands show how to check the currently installed version of the firmware on a Sun Netra T server. Example 1. Example 2. Install the required patch by issuing the following command. This section presents precautions you should consider before you perform any of the following installation procedures.
When you begin to perform one of the installation procedures, you cannot back out. You can proceed to configure RAID 0 and then the operating system installation. Before you start the procedures in this appendix, complete the tasks listed in the following checklist. Verify that you have the correct CD. Complete the following tasks for a new operating system installation only that is, not for an operating system upgrade :.
This means that the Cisco BAMS billing, measurements, and intermediate files data is written across each physical disk in turn or striping the files across the disks.
Therefore, you incur an increased risk of data loss. If a single disk fails, the entire volume fails and you must delete the volume and reconstruct it.
Step 3 If the system is currently running, log in as root. Step 6 When the boot process completes, issue the raidctl command to display the installed hard disks in this example, disk 0. Note Ensure that there is no useful data on the disk because all data will be lost. The information displayed in the following example shows that the preceding command created RAID volume c0t1d0.
Note Ignore warnings returned to the format utility that indicate the existence of a single disk only, which is the RAID volume. Select 0 to autoconfigure the volume. Step 11 Issue the label command to write the new label to the disk. Step 12 To verify that the new label has been written, issue the disk command, which prints the disk list.
Step 13 Exit the format utility. Step 14 Issue the command init 0 to generate the Ok prompt. You can use the procedure in this section to delete a RAID volume when it is not required. When you delete a RAID volume, all data on the disks is lost and you must re-install the Solaris 10 operating system. Step 5 When the boot completes, enter the command raidctl to display the configured RAID volume in this example, the system displays the volume c0t1d0.
Step 7 Issue the command raidctl to verify that the volume was deleted. Step 8 Issue the command init 0 to derive the OK prompt and restart the operating system installation. Note If you encounter the error message "Configuration over device node failed when deleting 2nd volume," issue the command devfsadm to access the second disk. After you setup RAID 0 optional successfully, complete the following steps to install the Solaris 10 jumpstart image.
Instruct the system to generate the ok prompt by issuing the command init 0. Step 1 Log in as root with the default password, vtghost. The system displays text similar to the following:. Step 2 To reconfigure the system, enter the command the sys-unconfig and press Enter.
Step 3 To continue the reconfiguration process, enter y and press Enter. Step 4 Reboot your system using the method identified for your platform type. For Sparc-based platforms, enter the command boot and press Enter to reboot the system. Step 5 If you are installing on a Sparc-based platform, you must select your terminal type when a screen similar to the following is displayed:.
Step 6 Use the arrow keys to navigate, and press the spacebar to make your selection. Verify that you selected Yes and press F2 to continue. Note The current screen might show a different interface, depending on the platform and PCI card that are installed.
The interface configuration prompts do not provide an option to return to a previous step or to exit the interface configuration. Step 7 Select the interface s you want to configure and press F2 to continue.
Step 8 Before you configure multiple interfaces, the system displays text similar to the following:. Step 10 Verify that you selected No and press Esc-2 to continue. Step 11 Type the host name of the target Netra machine, and press Esc-2 to continue. Step 12 Enter the IP address of this interface in dotted decimal format and press Esc-2 to continue.
Step 13 Verify that you selected Yes. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to Yes and press the spacebar to select it. Press Esc-2 to continue. Step 14 Enter the site-specific Subnet Mask for the subnet. Use the same type of disks and controllers in a single mirror. Particularly in old SCSI storage devices, different models or brands of disk or controller can have widely varying performance.
Mixing the different performance levels in a single mirror can cause performance to degrade significantly. When you choose the slices that you want to use to mirror a file system, consider the following guidelines. Any application, such as a database, also can use a mirror. Make sure that your submirror slices are of equal size. Submirrors of different sizes result in unused disk space. If you have a mirrored file system in which the first submirror attached does not start on cylinder 0, all additional submirrors you attach must also not start on cylinder 0.
If you attempt to attach a submirror starting on cylinder 0 to a mirror in which the original submirror does not start on cylinder 0, the following error message is displayed:. You must ensure that all submirrors you plan to attach to a mirror either all start on cylinder 0, or that none of them start on cylinder 0.
Starting cylinders do not have to be identical across all submirrors, but all submirrors must either include or not include cylinder 0. Search Scope:. What's New in Solaris Installation 3. Solaris Installation and Upgrade Roadmap 4.
System Requirements, Guidelines, and Upgrade Planning 5. Installation Program. RAID-0 volume is supported, but only as a single-slice concatenation. You cannot create RAID-0 stripe volumes during the installation or upgrade.
