Install an Operating System on the Management Server

Installation of the operating system on the management server can be completed using various methods: manual installation, JumpStart for Solaris, and Kickstart for Linux.

• For Solaris installation procedures, see Installing the Solaris OS on the Management Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Site Preparation Guide

• For Linux installation procedures, see Installing the RedHat Enterprise Linux OS on the Management Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.2 Site Preparation Guide

Each section provides disk drive considerations for the chosen operating system, sample scripts for JumpStart or Kickstart, procedures for script configuration, and a procedure for manual installation of the chosen operating system.

When you have completed operating system installation on the management server, install the N1 System Manager software as described in the next section.
