Caution - This procedure erases all data from the hard drive. Back up any data you wish to save before starting this procedure. |
If your server does not have a CD/DVD drive, use the remote console (JavaRConsole). See How to Connect Remotely Using the ILOM Web Interface in Sun Fire X4640 Server Installation Guide.
The tools and drivers main menu appears.
