Set Up for Local Installation

1. Review the product notes for the Sun Blade X3-2B and Oracle VM software.

   • The Sun Blade X3-2B documentation is available at:

     http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=SunBladeX3-2B

   • The Oracle VM software documentation is available at:

     http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E20065_01/index.htm

2. Make sure that the server module does not have an OS already installed.

   If you have a server module with preinstalled Oracle VM, and you want to use the preinstalled version, refer to the Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Installation Guide for configuration instructions.

3. Download Oracle VM software from http://www.oracle.com/virtualization.
4. Create a CD/DVD using the downloaded .iso image.
5. Connect the following to the server module dongle cable:

   • DVD-ROM drive

   • USB keyboard and mouse

   • Monitor

   Note - While you are configuring an operating system for a networked server, it might be necessary to provide the logical names (assigned by the OS) and the physical name (MAC address) of each network interface being used on the Oracle VM server.
