SPARC T8-2 Server Installation Guide

Configure the Preinstalled OS

1. Determine which OS you will use.
   • If you plan to use the preinstalled OS, proceed to step 2.
   • If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS, go to Reach a State to Install a Fresh OS (Oracle ILOM CLI).
2. When prompted, follow the onscreen instructions for configuring the Oracle Solaris OS on your host.

   You will be prompted to confirm the configuration several times, enabling confirmation and changes. If you are not sure how to respond to a particular value, you can accept the default, and make future changes when the Oracle Solaris OS is running. See Oracle Solaris OS Configuration Parameters for a description of the Oracle Solaris OS parameters you must provide during initial configuration.

3. Log in to the server.

   You can now enter Oracle Solaris OS commands at the prompt. For more details, refer to the Oracle Solaris 11 OS man pages and documentation at:
