From terminal 1 set up the resource pool server to start the installation from the resource layer network. Wait for this operation to complete. |
From terminal 1 set up the resource pool server to start the installation from the resource layer network. At the sc prompt type bootmode bootscript="boot net:dhcp" blade -D for x86 architecture or bootmode bootscript="boot net:dhcp - install" blade-ID for SPARC architecture. Type reset -y blade-ID. Wait for this operation to complete. | |
From terminal 2 logon to the resource pool server. |
From terminal 2 logon to the resource pool server. The default password for root user is root. | |
From terminal 2 shut down the resource pool server. |
From terminal 2 shut down the resource pool server by issuing the command /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0-i0 for Solaris. | |
From terminal 1 reboot the resource pool server to boot from disk. Wait for this operation to complete. |
