Scenario 1: New Installation of Solaris 7
11/99 Software on Systems Booting
From the SPARCstorage Array Disk
Using the FC/S SBus Card
If the disk that you intend to use as your boot device is on a SPARCstorage Array
that is connected to the system through an FC/S SBus card, note that the FC/S SBus
card FCode revision level must be at 1.33 or higher to allow booting.
The following FC/S SBus cards are configured from the factory with an FCode
revision level of 1.33 or higher:
501-2069-07 or higher
501-2553-03 or higher
To check the FCode revision level of your FC/S SBus card, refer to "To Check the
FCode Level of Your FC/S SBus Card" on page 110.
Using the Onboard FC Ports
If the SPARCstorage Array is connected to the system through an onboard FC port,
it is not necessary to check the FCode revision level; these systems come configured
from the factory with the minimum FCode revision level to allow booting.
