Installing the Solaris Operating
Environment Over a GigabitEthernet
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
GigabitEthernet adapter, you must first add the GigabitEthernet software packages
to the install server. These software packages can be found on Solaris Supplement
CD.
Note – Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for more information about
installing the Solaris operating environment over the network. Also, refer to the
Solaris Sun Hardware Platform Guide for information about software included on the
Solaris Supplement CD.
To Install the Solaris Environment Over a

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.
