name and port number HTTP proxy user name and password |
Network security |
Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, you have
the option during an initial installation to change the network security settings so
that all network services except Secure Shell are disabled or restricted to respond
to local requests only. This security option is only available during an initial
installation, not during an upgrade. An upgrade maintains any previously set services. If
necessary, you can restrict network services after an upgrade by using the netservices
command. During the installation, you can select restricted network security. Or, you can enable
a larger set of services as in previous Solaris releases. If in doubt,
you can safely select the restricted network security option, because any services can
be individually enabled after installation. For further information about these options, see Planning Network Security. The
network services can be enabled after installation by using the netservices open command
or by enabling individual services by using SMF commands. See Revising Security Settings After Installation. |
Restricted/Open network security |
DHCP |
Can
the system use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure its network interfaces? DHCP
provides the network parameters that are necessary for installation. |
Yes/No* |
If you are not
using DHCP, note the network address |
IP Address |
If you are not using DHCP,
supply the IP address for the system. Example: 172.31.255.255 To find this information on
a running system, type the following command. # ypmatch host-name hosts |
|
Subnet |
If you are not using DHCP,
is the system part of a subnet? If yes, what is the netmask
of the subnet? Example: 255.255.255.0 To find this information on a running system, type
the following command. # more /etc/netmasks |
|
IPv6 |
Do you want to enable IPv6 on this machine? IPv6 is
a part of the TCP/IP Internet protocol that facilitates IP addressing by adding
better security and increasing Internet addresses. |
Yes/No* |
Host name |
Host name that you choose for
the system. To find this information on a running system, type the following
command. # uname -n |
|
Kerberos |
Do you want to configure Kerberos security on this machine? If yes, gather
this information: |
Yes/No* |
Default Realm: |
|
Administration Server: |
|
First KDC: |
|
(Optional) Additional KDCs: |
|
The Kerberos service is a client-server
architecture that provides secure transactions over networks. |
|
If the system uses a naming service,
provide the described information |
Naming Service |
Which naming service should this system use? To find
this information on a running system, type the following command. # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf A naming service
stores information in a central place, which enables users, machines, and applications to
communicate across the network. Examples of information that is stored are host names
and addresses or user names and passwords. |
NIS+/NIS/DNS/ LDAP/None |
|
Domain Name |
Provide the name of the
domain in which the system resides. During installation, you can choose the default NFSv4
domain name or specify a custom NFSv4 domain name.
|
|
|
NIS+ and NIS |
Do you want
to specify a name server or let the installation program find one? If you
want to specify a name server, provide the following information. |
Specify one/Find one* |
Server's
host name: |
|
|
|
Server's IP Address: |
|
- For NIS clients, type the following command to display the server's IP address.
# ypmatch nameserver-name hosts
For NIS+ clients, type the following command to display the server's IP address. # nismatch nameserver-name hosts.org_dir
Network Information Service (NIS) makes network administration more manageable by
providing centralized control over a variety of network information, such as machine names
and addresses. |
|
|
DNS |
Provide IP addresses for the DNS server. You must provide at
least one IP address, and can provide up to three addresses. |
|
Server's IP Address: |
|
To
display the server's IP address, type the following command. # getent hosts dns |
|
You can provide a
list of domains to search when a DNS query is made. |
|
List of
domains to be searched: |
|
The domain name system (DNS) is the naming
service that the Internet provides for TCP/IP networks. DNS provides host names to
the IP address service. DNS simplifies communication by using machine names instead of
numerical IP addresses. DNS also serves as a database for mail administration. |
|
|
LDAP |
Provide the
following information about your LDAP profile. |
|
Profile Name: |
|
Profile Server: |
|
If you specify a proxy
credential level in your LDAP profile, gather this information. |
|
Proxy-bind distinguished name: |
|
Proxy-bind password: |
|
The Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) defines a relatively simple protocol for updating and searching
directories that are running over TCP/IP. |
|
Default route |
Do you want to specify a default
route IP address or let the Oracle Solaris installation program find one? The default
route provides a bridge that forwards traffic between two physical networks. An IP
address is a unique number that identifies each host on a network. You
have the following choices:
You can specify the IP address. An /etc/defaultrouter file is created with the specified IP address. When the system is rebooted, the specified IP address becomes the default route.
You can let the Oracle Solaris installation program detect an IP address. However, the system must be on a subnet that has a router that advertises itself by using the ICMP router discovery protocol. If you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP address when the system is booted.
You can choose None if you do not have a router or do not want the software to detect an IP address at this time. The software automatically tries to detect an IP address on reboot.
|
Detect one*/Specify one/None |
Time zone |
How do you want to
specify your default time zone? |
Geographic region* Offset from GMT Time zone file |
Root password |
Provide
the root password for the system. |
|
Keyboard |
This feature is new in the following
releases:
If the keyboard is self-identifying, the keyboard language and layout automatically configures during
installation. If the keyboard is not self-identifying, the sysidkdb tool provides a list
of supported keyboard layouts during installation so that you can select a layout
for keyboard configuration. SPARC: Previously the installation program assumed a self-identifying value of 1
for USB keyboards during the installation. Therefore, all of the keyboards that were
not self-identifying always configured for a U.S. English keyboard layout during installation. For further
information, see Preconfiguring With the sysidcfg File in Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations. |
|
Locales |
For which geographic regions do you want to install support?
|
|
SPARC:
Power Management (only available on SPARC systems that support Power Management) |
Do you want
to use Power Management?
Note - If your system has Energy Star version 3 or
later, you are not prompted for this information.
|
Yes*/No |

Do you
want to perform a default installation, or customize the installation?
Select Default Installation to format the entire hard disk and install a preselected set of software.
Select Custom Installation to modify the hard disk layout and select the software that you want to install.
Note - The text installer
does not prompt you to select a Default or Custom Installation. To perform

x86: fdisk partitioning |
Do you
want to create, delete, or modify a Oracle Solaris fdisk partition? Each disk
that is selected for file system layout must have a Oracle Solaris fdisk
partition. If your system currently has a Service partition, the Oracle Solaris installation
program preserves the Service partition by default. If you do not want to
preserve the Service partition, you must customize the fdisk partitions. For more
information about preserving a Service partition, see Default Boot-Disk Partition Layout Preserves the Service Partition. |
