Complete the preparation of your Solaris system. | |
Back up your system. |
For a Trusted Solaris 8 system, back up the system as described in the documentation for your release. A labeled backup can be restored to each identically labeled zone. |
For a Solaris system, see System Administration Guide: Basic Administration. |
|
Gather information and make decisions about your system and your Trusted Extensions network. |
Collecting Information and Making Decisions Before Enabling Trusted Extensions |
Enable Trusted Extensions. | |
Configure the system. |
For a system with a monitor, see Task Map: Configuring Trusted Extensions. |
For a headless system, see Headless System Configuration in Trusted Extensions (Task Map). |
|
For a Sun RayTM, see Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for the Solaris Operating System. For the Sun Ray 5 release, see the Sun Ray Server 4.2 and Sun Ray Connector 2.2 Documentation web site. Together, this server and client comprise the Sun Ray 5 package. To configure initial client-server communication, see Configuring Trusted Network Databases (Task Map) in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator’s Procedures. |

For a laptop, go to the OpenSolaris Community: Security web page. Click Trusted Extensions. On the Trusted Extensions page under Laptop Configurations, click Laptop instructions. |

To prevent networks from communicating with the global zone, configure the vni0 interface. For an example, see the Laptop instructions. Starting in the Solaris 10 10/08 release, you do not need to configure the vni0 interface. By default, the lo0 interface is an all-zones interface. For dhcp to work with Trusted Extensions, other laptop instructions still apply. |
