Powering On and Powering Off the Server
After configuring the ILOM SP with network settings, you can configure the factory-installed Oracle Solaris 10 operating system (OS) or install a one of the supported operating systems.
Note - Before installing an OS or performing upgrades and updates to the server, review the most current version the Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Product Notes document, which is available online with the server documentation library.
For information about how to configure the factory-installed Oracle Solaris 10 OS, see Configuring the Factory--Installed Oracle Solaris 10 Operating System.
For information about how to install a supported version of Linux, Windows, VMware, or the Oracle Solaris OS, see the specific Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server OS installation guide included with the server online documentation library.
Note - Oracle highly recommends that you use the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) software when installing an OS other than the Oracle Solaris OS. SIA helps locate and install all necessary OS components automatically. With SIA, you can install the OS, the appropriate drivers, and if necessary, additional system software by simply booting the SIA media and following the prompts.
For information about using the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) to install and configure a supported Linux or Windows OS on your server, refer to the Sun Installation Assistant 2.3 through 2.4 User’s Guide for x64 Servers.
