Installing a Supported OS

Finish the installation of your server module by installing a supported operating system (OS) on a boot device for each node.

Note - The installed OS can be different for each node.

Choose one of the following options for installing an OS:

Install the OS on the server module node's optional internal flash module (FMod).

Refer to the appropriate Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module OS installation guide for more information on using this option.
Install the OS on external storage connected to PCIe EM host bus adapter.

Refer to the PCIe EM host bus adapter documentation to create an OS boot disk.

Note - Additional drivers for your server module might still need to be installed afterwards to ensure full support with your server hardware. Refer to the appropriate Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module OS installation guide for more information on the minimum driver requirements.
Configure network boot to load an OS to the server module node from an image on a server configured for PXE (Preboot Execution Environment).

Refer to the appropriate server module OS installation guide for more information on using this option.

Note - In addition, each server module node supports the installation of an internally mounted USB flash drive. Commercially available flash drives (also known as a 'thumb drive') can be used to provide additional storage as long as they meet the required physical dimensions. See USB Flash Drive.
