Solaris 9 Sun Hardware Platform Guide

Manual Installation of Solaris Software

If you are installing the Solaris 9 operating environment using the manual (or interactive) method, you may need to add some software packages and clusters. This section identifies platform-specific installation needs and lists the required software packages and clusters. The manual installation method is described in the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide.

Platform Names and Groups

You need to know your system architecture (platform group), if you are performing one of the following tasks:

Setting up a boot server on a subnet
Adding clients for network installation (standalone, servers, dataless, diskless)

If you are writing a custom JumpStart(TM) installation rules file, you need to know the platform name.

Table 1-1 shows the platform names and platform groups of various Sun hardware systems.
