Plan the Installation

The Sun Fire V440 server is a general-purpose server. How you set up your server
depends on what you want it to do.
This set of installation procedures is intended to be as "generic" as possible, to
accommodate the variety of uses to which you can apply the server. Even so, you
need to make certain decisions to complete the procedures. If you need background
information to help you answer the following two questions, see the Sun Fire V440
Server Administration Guide.
On which network or networks do you intend to operate the server?
You need to provide specific networking information about the server when you
install the Solaris operating environment.
How do you want to use and configure the server's internal disks?
What software do you intend to load?
Software included in the Solaris Media Kit or other software products can impose
certain disk space or disk partitioning requirements. Refer to the documentation
accompanying the Solaris software to determine those requirements.
