How to Install System Device Drivers Using Local or Remote Media

Before You Begin

Obtain a tools and drivers CD/DVD, or an equivalent ISO image.

If you use the remote installation method, you must set up and configure a Sun ILOM Remote Console session. For more information about redirecting devices to the Sun ILOM Remote Console, see How to Install From Local Boot Media or How to Redirect Boot Media From a Remote Storage Device.

1. Do one of the following:

   Either:

   • Insert the Tools & Drivers CD into the local or remote CD/DVD-ROM drive.

   • In the Device menu of the Sun ILOM Remote Console, select CD-ROM image to specify the location of the ISO image.

2. Change to the mounted CD/DVD directory by typing the following command:

   # cd <mount_point>/drivers/solaris/sx86

3. Run the install script by typing the following command:

   # sh install.sh

   The system device driver(s) are now installed. The script prompts you to reboot the system for changes to take effect.

4. Reboot your server.
