Oracle Solaris OS Configuration Worksheet

Language:

Before you start to configure the preinstalled Oracle Solaris Operating System, review the applicable limitations on RAID configurations. Then complete the worksheet for the Oracle Solaris configuration.

Before you begin configuring the operating system, use the configuration worksheet in the following table to gather the information that you will need. You need to collect only the information that applies to your application of the system.

Information for Installation	Description or Example	Your Answers: Defaults (*)
Language	Select from the list of available languages for the OS.	English*
Locale	Select your geographic region from the list of available locales.
Terminal	Select the type of terminal that you are using from the list of available terminal types.
Network connection	Is the system connected to a network?	Networked Non-networked*
DHCP	Can the system use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure its network interfaces?	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: 192.168.100.1
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	255.255.0.0*
IPv6	Do you want to enable IPv6 on this machine?	Yes No*
Host name	Choose a host name for the system.
Kerberos	Do you want to configure Kerberos security on this machine?	Yes No* If yes, gather this information: Default realm: Administration server: First KDC: (Optional) Additional KDCs:
Name service	Name service If applicable, which name service should this system use?	NIS+ NIS DNS LDAP None*
Domain name	Provide the name of the domain in which the system resides. DNS or NIS
NIS+ and NIS	If you chose NIS+ or NIS, do you want to specify a name server, or let the installation program find one? If you choose NIS: Specify a NIS domain, or Indicate whether to specify a NIS server or search for one.	Specify One Find One*
DNS	If you chose DNS, provide IP addresses for the DNS server. You must enter at least one IP address, but you can enter up to three addresses. You can also enter a list of DNS domains to search when a DNS query is made.	Search domain: Search domain: Search domain:
LDAP	If you chose LDAP, provide information about your LDAP profile.	Profile name: Profile server: If you specify a proxy credential level in your LDAP profile, gather the following information: Proxy-bind distinguished name: Proxy-bind password:
Default route	Do you want to specify a default route IP address, or let the OS 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 OS installation program detect an IP address. However, the system must be on a subnet that has a router that advertises itself by using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for router discovery. If you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP address when the system is booted. You can select 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.	Specify one Detect One None*
Time zone	How do you want to specify your default time zone?	Geographic region* Offset from GM Time zone file
Root password	Choose a root password for the system.
