installation. |
Yes/No* |
If you are not using DHCP, note the network address |
IP Address |
If you
are not using DHCP, supply the IP address for the system. Example: 172.31.255.255 To
find this information on a running system, type the following command. # ypmatch host-name hosts |
|
Subnet |
If you
are not using DHCP, is the system part of a subnet? If yes,
what is the netmask of the subnet? Example: 255.255.255.0 To find this information on
a running system, type the following command. # more /etc/netmasks |
|

Do you want to enable IPv6
on this machine? IPv6 is a part of the TCP/IP Internet protocol that
facilitates IP addressing by adding better security and increasing Internet addresses. |
Yes/No* |

If the system
uses a naming service, provide the described information |
Naming service |
Which naming service should
this system use? To find this information on a running system, type the
following command. # cat /etc/nsswitch.conf A naming service stores information in a central place, which enables users,
machines, and applications to communicate across the network. Examples of information that is
stored are host names and addresses or user names and passwords. |
NIS+/NIS/DNS/ LDAP/None |
|
Domain name |
Provide
the name of the domain in which the system resides. During installation, you can
choose the default NFSv4 domain name or specify a custom NFSv4 domain name.
|
|
|
NIS+
and NIS |
Do you want to specify a name server or let the
installation program find one? If you want to specify a name server, provide the
following information. |
Specify one/Find one* |
Server's host name: |
|
|
|
Server's IP Address: |
|
- For NIS clients, type the following command to display the server's IP address.
# ypmatch nameserver-name hosts
For NIS+ clients, type the following command to display the server's IP address. # nismatch nameserver-name
hosts.org_dir
Network Information Service (NIS) makes
network administration more manageable by providing centralized control over a variety of network
information, such as machine names and addresses. |
|
|
DNS |
Provide IP addresses for the DNS server.
You must provide at least one IP address and can provide up to
three addresses. |
|
Server's IP Address: |
|
To display the server's IP address, type the following
command. # getent hosts dns |
|
You can provide a list of domains to search when a DNS
query is made. |
|
List of domains to be searched: |
|
The domain name system (DNS)
is the naming service that the Internet provides for TCP/IP networks. DNS provides
host names to the IP address service. DNS simplifies communication by using machine
names instead of numerical IP addresses. DNS also serves as a database for
mail administration. |
|
|
LDAP |
Provide the following information about your LDAP profile. |
|
Profile Name: |
|
Profile Server: |
|
If you
specify a proxy credential level in your LDAP profile, gather this information. |
|
Proxy-bind distinguished
name: |
|
Proxy-bind password: |
|
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) defines a relatively simple protocol for
updating and searching directories that are running over TCP/IP. |
|
Default route |
Do you want to
specify a default route IP address or let the Oracle Solaris installation program
find one? The default route provides a bridge that forwards traffic between two physical
networks. An IP address is a unique number that identifies each host
on a network. You have the following choices:
You can specify the IP address. An /etc/defaultrouter file is created with the specified IP address. When the system is rebooted, the specified IP address becomes the default route.
You can let the Oracle Solaris installation program detect an IP address. However, the system must be on a subnet that has a router that advertises itself by using the ICMP router discovery protocol. If you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP address when the system is booted.
You can choose None if you do not have a router or do not want the software to detect an IP address at this time. The software automatically tries to detect an IP address on reboot.
|
Detect one*/Specify one/None |
Time zone |
How do
you want to specify your default time zone? |
Geographic region* Offset from GMT Time
zone file |
Root password |
Provide the root password for the system. |
|
Default or custom installation |
Do
you want to perform a default installation, or customize the installation?
Select Default Installation to format the entire hard disk and install a preselected set of software.
Select Custom Installation to modify the hard disk layout and select the software that you want to install.
Note - The text
installer does not prompt you to select a Default or Custom Installation. To
perform a default installation, accept the default values that are provided in the
text installer. To perform a custom installation, edit the values in the text
installer screens.

Default installation*/Custom installation |
Keyboard |
This feature is new in the following releases:
If the
keyboard is self-identifying, the keyboard language and layout automatically configures during installation. If
the keyboard is not self-identifying, the sysidkdb tool provides a list of supported
keyboard layouts during installation so that you can select a layout for keyboard
configuration. SPARC: Previously the installation program assumed a self-identifying value of 1 for USB
keyboards during the installation. Therefore, all of the keyboards that were not self-identifying always
configured for a U.S. English keyboard layout during installation. For further information, see
Preconfiguring With the sysidcfg File in Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations. |
|
Locales |
For which geographic regions do you want to install support?
|
|

Do you want to use
Power Management?
Note - If your system has Energy Star version 3 or later, you
are not prompted for this information.
|
Yes/No |
Automatic reboot or CD/DVD ejection |
Reboot automatically after software
installation? Eject CD/DVD automatically after software installation? |
|
Disk space reallocation |
Do you want the installation
program to automatically re-layout the systems on your disks? If yes, which file system
should be used for auto-layout? Example: /, /opt, /var If no, you must provide
information for the system configuration. |
Yes/No* |
If you are installing through a tip line,
follow these instructions |
Ensure that your window display is at least 80 columns wide
and 24 rows long. For more information, see the tip(1) man page. To determine the current
dimensions of your tip window, use the stty command. For more information, see
the stty(1) man page. |
|
Check your Ethernet connection |
If the system is part of
a network, verify that an Ethernet connector or similar network adapter is connected
to your system. |
|
Live Upgrade use |
|
|
Check the system for the existence of Prestoserve
software |
If you begin the upgrade process by shutting down the system with
the init 0 command and you're using Prestoserve software, you might lose data. Refer
to the Prestoserve documentation for shutdown instructions. |
|
Check for patches needed |
