Use the following procedure to boot over the network using the NEM with a SPARC blade server.
This pair enables the boot server to answer RARP calls from the blade for resolving the IP address for the NEM's local MAC address.
Refer to the installation documentation for the operating system you want to install.
Some of them will be the NEM's ports. For example:
{0} ok show-nets a) /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@c/network@0 b) /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@2/network@0,1 c) /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@2/network@0 d) /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@c/pci@0/pci@3/network@0 e) /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@c/pci@0/pci@2/network@0 q) NO SELECTION Enter Selection, q to quit:
Example:
{0} ok cd /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@c/pci@0/pci@2/network@0
{0} ok .properties
If it is a Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40 GbE Network Express Module, the output will resemble the following.

{0} ok boot /pci@400/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/pci@1/network@0
If DHCP will be used for resolving the IP address at the beginning of the boot process, add dhcp at the end of the boot command, as in the following example:
{0} ok boot /pci@400/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/pci@1/network@0:dhcp
If successful, output similar to the following is displayed on the blade's console.
