Installing the Solaris OS on a SPARC System |
If you chose to create a bootable array on a SPARC system as part of your installation (see Creating a Bootable Array on a SPARC System), you can install the Solaris 10/08 (s10u6) operating system (OS), at minimum, on that bootable array. Starting with the Solaris 10/08 OS, the driver required by the HBA is provided with the Solaris OS.
| Note - If you are using an x64 system and you chose to create a bootable array as part of your installation (Creating a Bootable Array on an x64 System), DO NOT perform any steps in this chapter. Instead, skip to Installing an OS Onto a Bootable Array on an x64 System. |
This chapter contains the following sections:
