CD-Mounting on Sun Enterprise 10000, Sun Fire 15K, and Sun Fire 12K Servers

Sun Enterprise 10000, Sun Fire 15K, and Sun Fire 12K servers do not come with a CD-ROM drive directly attached. Instead, the System Service Processor (SSP) includes an internal CD-ROM drive. Thus, any installation instructions that involve software on a CD require two additional steps for these servers:

1. Insert the Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 CD into the CD-ROM drive of the SSP.

2. Become the superuser on the SSP and share the CD-ROM:

   ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0

Sun Enterprise 10000, Sun Fire 15K, and Sun Fire 12K systems are divided into domains, each acting as its own server and running its own instance of the Solaris environment. This means that you must install Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 on each domain where you want to have this functionality available. Whenever the instructions in this guide say "system," read it as "domain" for your Sun Enterprise 10000, Sun Fire 15K, or Sun Fire 12K server.

You do not need to install Solaris Resource Manager on all of the domains in the platform; you can install it only on the domains in which you need its services.
