NOTE: For Solaris 5/09, a known issue prevents drivers from being installed in the miniroot. If
disks attached to a HP Smart Array Controller are not available during installation, see the
procedure outlined in the Troubleshooting section "Hard Drives Not Seen After CPQary3 Added to
Miniroot" to resolve this issue.
Example: miniroot preparation
The following procedure is an example of a miniroot preparation for ProLiant servers.
Unpack the stock Solaris miniroot:
1.
# /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack .../boot/x86.miniroot \
> /var/tmp/mr
The miniroot is expanded under /var/tmp/mr.
Install the Smart Array driver into the miniroot, as described in the HP Smart Array Controller
2.
Driver for Solaris 10 User Guide at

p308167783/v40878/HP_Smart_Array_Controller_Driver_User_Guide.pdf. However, do not
repack the miniroot at this time.
Install the Broadcom NetXtreme II driver into the miniroot. Choose the version of the driver
3.
(gldv2 or gldv3) which is appropriate for your deployment:
# cd /var/tmp
# gunzip -c .../BRCMbnx-x.y.z-solaris10-i386.tar.gz | tar vxf -
# cd BRCMbnx-x.y.z-solaris10-i386/bnx/gldvN
# pkgadd -R /var/tmp/mr -d 'pwd'/BRCMbnx.pkg BRCMbnx
For Rapid Deployment Pack or custom ISO images, install the HPQnetstrategy package:
4.
# cd /var/tmp
# gunzip -c .../HPQdeploykit-1.0.0-solaris10-i386.tar.gz | tar vxf
-
# cd HPQdeploykit-1.0.0-solaris10-i386/tools
# pkgadd -R /var/tmp/mr -d 'pwd'/HPQnetstrategy.pkg HPQnetstrategy
Repack the miniroot:
5.
# cd /var/tmp
# /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive pack
/var/tmp/x86.miniroot.proliant \ > /var/tmp/mr
The new miniroot /var/tmp/x86.miniroot.proliant is now ready for use with ProLiant
servers.
