Preinstalled and Preloaded Software

This section lists and describes the preinstalled and preloaded software on your
server. The preinstalled software is ready to use. The preloaded software must first
be installed from the preloaded location.
Note – The Solaris OS is preinstalled both in root disk Slice 0 for normal operations,
and in Slice 3 along with Live Upgrade software to provide an Alternate Boot
Environment (ABE). The ABE allows upgrading the OS or performing system
maintenance tasks without reducing performance. An identical (bootable) copy of
the root partition (including the OS, EIS, and applications) is installed as an ABE in
Slice 3.
