Booting the Solaris Operating System

The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers on the disk in slot 0. The Solaris OS is not configured (that is, the sys-unconfigcommand was run in the factory). If you boot the system from this disk, you will be prompted to configure the Solaris OS for your environment.

▼To Boot the Solaris Operating System

1. At the ok prompt, boot from the disk that contains the Solaris OS.

■If you know which disk to boot from, skip this step and perform Step 2.

■If you need to determine which disk to boot from, issue the show-diskscommand at the ok prompt to see the path to the configured disks, similar to the following:

ok show-disks

a)/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0,2/LSILogic,sas@4/disk

q)NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: q ok

2.Type the boot command at the ok prompt.

Use the value from Step 1 to construct the boot command. You must append the target to the disk path.

In the following example, the server is booted from disk 0 (zero) on a SPARC Enterprise T5120 server.

ok boot disk0

Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0 File and args:

Notice: Unimplemented procedure 'encode-unit' in /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/pci@0/LSILogic,sas@4
