Installing Solaris OE From the Installation CD Note – If you installed the software as directed in Chapter 1 and the Sun StorEdge SBus Dual Fibre Channel Host Adapter Product Notes, skip this chapter and continue with Chapter 4. For the latest patch and package information, see the product notes.
When to Use the CD 0 The CD 0s must be used to initiate installation of systems with the Sun StorEdge SBus Dual Fibre Channel adapter. Do not use the Solaris 8 Installation CD that shipped with the Solaris 8 4/01, Solaris 7/01, or Solaris 10/01 release.
By initiating installation with CD 0, the Solaris operating environment is installed along with the required adapter patches. Installing the Solaris OE With the CD 0s There are two ways to install the Solaris software: Install the Solaris OE directly on the system from the appropriate CD 0. Install an image from the Media Kit of the Solaris OE on an installation server, patch the image using the binary images from the CD 0, and then use the patched image to install the Solaris OE on the systems.
Type the appropriate number for your choice of language. Note – For a command line installation, the installation process is in English only. 5. Answer the installation questions when prompted. Sun StorEdge SBus Dual Fibre Channel Host Adapter Installation Guide • October 2002...
