To Set Up The Client - Sun Microsystems StorageTek PCI-X Enterprise Installation Manual

To Set Up the Client

▼
1. Bring the client host (with the host adapter) down to the ok prompt at run level 0.
See the Solaris system administration documentation for the commands that can be
used with different configurations. The following example uses the shutdown(1M)
command.
# shutdown
...
ok
Caution – Do not reboot the boot/install server.
2. Boot the host from the net.
ok boot net
The Solaris interactive installation program runs from the boot/install server.
3. Respond to the prompts according to your configuration, as instructed in the
Solaris installation guide.
Make sure to specify the new boot disk as the destination for the operating
environment installation.
4. When prompted to choose between automatic reboot or manual reboot, click the
Manual Reboot button, complete the remaining question, and start the
installation.
This question offering a choice between automatic and manual reboot is the last
question before the installation starts. If you are using the suninstall program,
choose boot manual.
5. Mount the /<export_public> directory which contains the driver packages and any
needed patches onto the /mnt directory mount point.
Enter the mount command followed by the hostname of the boot/install server,
followed by a colon (:), followed by /<export_public> followed by /mnt. The
following example uses boot_install_server as the name of the boot/install server.
# mount boot_install_server:
