Before You Begin

Before you begin configuring the preinstalled OpenSolaris OS, do the following:

Configure an IP address for the server SP. For details, see “Configuring an IP Address” on page 49.

Ensure that main power has been applied to the server. For more information, see “Powering On the Server Module” on page 38.

Gather the information that you will need for the configuration, as listed in “Installation Worksheet” on page 70. Note that default values are indicated by an asterisk (*).

Note – To identify the MAC address for a server or other chassis components, see the Customer Information Sheet (shipped with the component), or inspect the printed MAC address label attached to the server or chassis component.

The server ships with its console redirected to the serial port. You can choose an option to send the output to VGA (video port). For more information, see “(Optional) Redirect the Console Output to the Video Port” on page 77.

Installation Worksheet

Use the worksheet in TABLE 6-1to gather the information that you need to configure the preinstalled OpenSolaris OS. You only need to collect the information that applies to your application of the system.
