How to Include a Service Partition When Installing Software From a Network Installation Image or From the Oracle Solaris Operating System DVD

To install the software from a net installation image or from the Oracle Solaris Operating System DVD over the network, follow these steps.

  1. Delete the contents of the disk.
  2. Before you install, create the service partition by using the diagnostics CD for your system.

    For information about how to create the service partition, see your hardware documentation.

  3. Boot the system from the network.

    The Customize fdisk Partitions screen is displayed.

  4. Load the default boot disk partition layout by clicking Default.

    The installation program preserves the service partition and creates the Oracle Solaris partition.
