Installation Overview

The following list provides an outline of the installation procedure, including prerequisites. See the actual procedures for installation details.

  1. Verify that you have the correct hardware.

    • Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module.

    • If you are doing a local installation (not an RKVM session) you need:

      • USB keyboard and mouse

      • USB CD/DVD drive

      • Monitor

      • Multiport cable to plug into the front slot of the server module

  2. If you are going to install the OS on a storage device connected to a PCIe EM card, you must configure it so that you can boot from the storage device. See the PCIe EM documentation for details.

  3. Decide where you are going to install the OS.

    You can install an OS onto a flash module, USB flash disk or a storage device connected to a PCIe EM card.

    Information
    Flash module
    The server module includes one Sun Flash Module (FMod) socket per node.

    When an FMod is present it appears as a disk device and you can install an operating system on it.

    To install an FMod, refer to the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Service Manual.
    USB flash drive
    The server module includes one internal USB port per node.

    When a USB flash drive is present, it appears as a disk device, and you can install an operating system onto it.

    To install a USB flash drive, refer to the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Service Manual.
    PCIe EM device
    Each chassis blade slot has two assigned PCIe EM slots. One of these is assigned to each node.

    If you wish to boot from a storage device connected to a PCIe EM slot, you must configure it to be a boot device. For instructions, refer to your PCIe EM documentation.

  4. Obtain a copy of the Oracle Solaris 10 distribution media from the Oracle Solaris CD/DVD, or the equivalent ISO file.

  5. Install the OS. See the following:

  6. Patch and update the OS. See Updating Oracle Solaris.
