The hard drive for your system contains preinstalled software, including the Solaris 10 OS, developer software, and other applications. The preinstalled OS is preconfigured with drivers required to support the workstation’s hardware.
The Solaris 10 8/07 OS (or a later, compatible version) is available for download, as are the developer applications, drivers, and other applications. However, if you reinstall the OS, you will need to follow the instructions in the Sun Ultra 24 Workstation Operating System Installation Guide to configure the OS and install the drivers.
To restore the Solaris OS, make and keep a full backup of the OS. The Solaris 10 System Administration Collection includes instructions for backing up your OS and is available at http:/docs.sun.com/.
