Before You Begin
The following requirements must be met:
The JavaRConsole system must be running Solaris, Linux, or Windows.
The JavaRConsole system must be connected to a network that has access to the Sun server Ethernet management port.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later must be installed. For CD–ROM redirection, 32–bit Java must be used.
If the JavaRConsole system is running Solaris, volume management must be disabled for JavaRConsole to access the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
If the JavaRConsole system is running Windows, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security must be disabled.
You must have network access to the server's ILOM service processor (see Attaching Administration (SP) Cables in Sun Fire X4800 Server Installation Guide). You must have also configured ILOM according to the instructions in the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) documentation for your server.

CD-ROM Remote: Select CD-ROM to redirect the server to the operating system software CD/DVD contents from the CD/DVD-ROM drive attached to the JavaRConsole system.
CD-ROM Image: Select CD-ROM Image to redirect the server to the operating system software .iso image file located on the JavaRConsole system.
Caution - Using the CD-ROM Remote or CD-ROM Image options to install the Linux OS significantly increases the time necessary to perform the installation as the content of the CD-ROM is accessed over the network. The installation duration depends on the network connectivity and traffic. |
