How to Prepare the Oracle VM Server for SPARC OpenStack Compute Node (Optional)

Optionally use this task if the system you want to use as a compute node must be installed from bare metal.

1. Install at least the Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU 12 OS.
2. Ensure that the system is in factory-default.

   # ldm list-spconfig

   If the system is not in factory-default, perform the following command:

   # ldm set-spconfig factory-default

3. (Optional) If system was not in factory-default, power off the server.

   Use either of the following commands:

   # shutdown -i 5 -g0 -y

   Or:

   # poweroff

4. Create a boot environment (BE).

   # BE=BE-name
   # beadm create ${BE}

5. Boot into the BE.

   # beadm activate ${BE}

6. Reboot the BE.

   # shutdown -i6 -g0 -y
