Reinstalling the Solaris Operating Environment

Reinstalling the Solaris Operating Environment

The Sun Fire V100 server is supplied with the Solaris operating environment preinstalled.

If for any reason you decide to reinstall the Solaris operating environment (for example, if you need to repartition your root disk or recover from a failure) follow the instructions in the Solaris Installation Guide (806-0955-10) and the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide (806-0957-10).

Reinstalling the Lights-Out Management Software

If you reinstall the Solaris operating environment and you intend to use the Lights- Out Management (LOM) facilities, you must re-install the Lights-Out Management software from the CD entitled Software Supplement for the Solaris Operating Environment. This CD is included among the CDs supplied with Solaris.

If you do not reinstall the LOM software as described here, the LOM facilities will not be available and layered applications that are dependent on them (for example, the Sun Management Center software) will not function correctly. To reinstall LOM, refer to the Sun Hardware Platform Guide.
