Booting From a WAN Boot Server

The WAN boot installation method enables you to boot and install software over a
wide area network (WAN) by using HTTP. To support booting the Sun SPARC
Enterprise M8000/M9000 server from a WAN boot server, you must have the
appropriate wanboot executable installed to provide the needed hardware support.
If you have added SPARC64 VII processors to your server, for example, you must
perform this procedure even if you have performed it previously, before the new
processors were added.
For information about WAN boot servers, refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide:
Network-Based Installations for the version of Solaris 10 OS that you are using. You
can find Solaris 10 OS documentation here:

Note - This chapter describes how to set up archived log
files. The SP Security (SUNWspec) Package gives
administrators and service providers a means to view
those files. To display the XSCF audit log files archived to
your server, use the viewauditapp(8) and
mergeaudit(8) off-platform audit file viewers.

The sendbreak(8) command will not work when the
sendbreak(8)
man page domain mode is set to on while the mode switch on the
operator panel is set to locked. Refer to the
setdomainmode(8) man page for more information.
