Sun Microsystems X4640 manual Local CD/DVD, or Redirected CD/DVD or ISO CD-ROM image

Installing Linux With SIA

At this dialog, you need to specify the location of your OS installation media. Choose one of the following:

■CD/DVD—This option allows you to install the OS source from:

-a local CD/DVD, or

-a redirected CD/DVD or ISO CD-ROM image

■Network (Linux)—This option allows you to install the OS source from a network share.

Note – SIA might not recognize the Linux installation media if you chose to use a CD/DVD ROM device other than the one you previously used to boot the SIA program. Therefore, it might be necessary to insert the Linux OS media into the same device that you used to boot the SIA program.

3If you are installing from a local CD/DVD, do the following:

a.In the Install Media Information dialog, click CD/DVD, then select the server’s CD/DVD drive from the CD Location drop-down list.

b.Eject the SIA CD/DVD from this drive then insert the first CD of the operating system distribution into the drive.

c.In the Install Media Information dialog, click Next to continue.

The Identifying Distribution dialog appears.
