3.2.1Downloading the B100x/B200x Mandatory Software for the Network Install Server

1.On the Solaris system you are going to use as the Network Install Server, make a directory called /var/tmp/blades by typing:

#mkdir -m 755 /var/tmp/blades

2.Download the software if you have not done so already (by following the instructions in Section 3.1.1, “Solaris x86 Drivers and Documentation” on page 3-2).

3.Save the download file to the directory /var/tmp/blades.

The download file is called mis.259-4174-11.zip. The filename included here is the correct version number at the time of writing. Because this file is likely to be updated, the final two digits in the name of the file you download may be higher than -11. If so, this indicates that you are downloading a more recent version of the software updates for the B100x and B200x server blades.)
