C.2 Installing the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver With the Solaris OS

This section contains the following subsection:

“To Install the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver With the Solaris OS” on page 2

To Install the RAID 5 Expansion Module Driver With the Solaris OS

1.Obtain the Solaris 10 5/08 OS and perform a normal network installation, as described in the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations, until you encounter the prompt, Reboot After Installation?.

Note – Do NOT select Auto Reboot at this point in the network installation process.

2.Specify that you want to perform a Manual Reboot.

Specifying a manual reboot provides you with the opportunity to install the HBA driver after all other Solaris software is in place. Without this driver, subsequent reboots will fail.

Note – If you accidentally choose Auto Reboot, you can still install the HBA driver prior to reboot. From an ok prompt, you can use the boot net -scommand to boot from the network into single-user mode and then install the driver.

3.Use the df command to verify the following:

The product install directory is mounted on /cdrom from the network install server.
