How to Include a Service Partition When Installing From the Oracle Solaris Software - 1 CD or From a Network Installation Image

To use the Oracle Solaris installation program to install from the Oracle Solaris Software - 1 CD or from a network installation image on a boot server, follow these steps.

  1. Delete the contents of the disk.
  2. Before you install, create the service partition by using the diagnostics CD for your system.

    For information about how to create the service partition, see your hardware documentation.

    The installation program prompts you to choose a method for creating the Oracle Solaris partition.

  3. Boot the system.
  4. Select the Use rest of disk for Solaris partition option.

    The installation program preserves the service partition and creates the Oracle Solaris partition.

  5. Complete the installation.
