Installation Methods
The Netra ft1800 supports two types of installation: local, from a local CD-ROM
drive; or network, from a machine set up as a Solaris installation server.The
requirements for these two types of installation are described in the following
subsections.
Youmust install the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager package when the Netra ft1800
installation is complete in order to implement fault tolerant operation. See Chapter 6
“Installing and Configuring SunStorEdge Volume Manager” for more details.
Youshould install patches after the Netra ft 1800 software installation.
Recommended Solaris patches are included on the Netraft 1800 Installation CD-
ROM. Any recommended patches should be installed immediately after the reboot
at the end of the installation.
The local and network installation procedures differ only in their initial steps.
Otherwise, the procedure is the same for both types of installation.
Note – Inadvertent keyboard use during installation can abort installation.

Local Installation

Toperform a local installation of the Netra ft 1800 software, you must have an RMM
module that contains a CD-ROM drive in slot A-RMM or B-RMM of the Netra ft 1800
to be installed.
Local installation involves booting the Netra ft1800 from one of its CD-ROM drives
while an installation CD-ROM is in the drive.
Note – The CD-ROM cannot be loaded into the CD-ROM drive unless the drive is
powered on. Do not attempt to load the CD-ROM unless the module’s Power LED is
lit.
