Solaris Advanced Installation Guide

The Advanced Installation Guide describes how to install the Solaris operating environment on both networked and non-networked systems. Although this book can be used to perform one-time installations, it provides detailed information on the Solaris advanced installation features that should be used for enterprise sites that have a large install base. The advanced Solaris installation features include setting up network installations, preconfiguring system information, and automating installations with the custom JumpStart^TM technology.

This guide also is included in the Solaris 2.6 System Administrator Collection Volume 1.

Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC or Intel Platform Edition)

The Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) is primarily a reference book. It includes installing Solaris and other software in the desktop box.

The first section contains step-by-step instructions on how to plan an installation. The steps point to other sections in the Information Library. Planning an installation guarantees that you do not run into problems because of unsupported devices, or not enough disk space, and ensures that you have gathered system information required during the installation.
