    3.2.2 Network Installation Procedure If you are using your LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter to support your Sparc Solaris system disk, you must install the Solaris operating system using a network install. This section describes a complete installation of Solaris to a client system using LSI Logic/IntraServer FC adapters for the system disk.
  • Page 31 The message “major number maximum based on server, not client” can safely be ignored. Running the install.sh script this way copies and installs the LSI Logic/IntraServer drivers into the Tools/Boot/ area of the boot files and allows LSI Logic/IntraServer adapters to be booted for installation using the bootserver.
