Installing and Configuring thege Device Driver 19

▼To Perform a Net-Install of the Solaris

Environment Over the ge Interface
This procedure is applicable only if you are installing the Solaris operating
environment over the network using the ge interface.
Note – The Solaris CD-ROM cannot be used to perform a net-install since it is a
read-only medium. Youmust use the Solaris CD image archive to update certain
software files.
1. Determine the root directory of the system that will be net-installed.
For example, if the Solaris softwareis located within a directorynamed DIR, and the
system being net-installed is already configured, then findthe root directory with
the /etc/bootparams file.
If the system being net-installed is not already configured, referto the Solaris
documentation that shipped with your system for configuration instructions.
2. Install the appropriate OS driver support in the client’s root directory.
For example, if you are adding the ge driver to the Solaris 2.5.1+ net-install client’s
root directory,type:
For example, if you are adding the ge driver to the Solaris 2.6 or 7 net-install client’s
root directory,type (where xis 6 for Solaris 2.6 or 7 for Solaris 7):
#grep client_name /etc/bootparams
#pkgadd -R /DIR/export/exec/kvm/sparc.Solaris_2.5.1+ -d \
/cdrom/sun_gigabitethernet_2_0/Sol_2.x
#pkgadd -R /DIR/Sol_2.x/etc/Tools/Boot -d \
/cdrom/sun_gigabitethernet_2_0/Sol_2.x
