StorMan - The Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal HBA utilities package, which contains the command-line interface and Sun StorageTek RAID Manager GUI.

For information about obtaining these packages, see “Creating a Bootable Array Task Map” on page 2.

To Modify the Miniroot Directory

The examples in this procedure use install_dir_path to refer to the location where the network install image is located. This is the same directory path that you use with the setup_install_server command, as described in the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Network Based Installations.

1.If the install server is running a version of the Solaris OS prior to Solaris 10 5/08, update the server with the appropriate Solaris patch:

Solaris 10 - patch 137321 (SPARC) or 137322 (x64)

Solaris 9 - patch 137477 (SPARC) or 137478 (x64)

You can download the patches from http://www.sunsolve.com.You must install the patch because the SUNWgccruntime package,which is one of the required packages on the miniroot directory, requires the presence of the p7zip compression program on the install server. This compression program is included in the Solaris 10 5/08 OS and in the patches described in this step.

2.Obtain the required packages, as described in “Creating a Bootable Array Task Map” on page 2.

3.As a root user, log into a SPARC architecture host (install server) from which you can run the pkgadd commands.

Note – Make sure that the host on which you run the pkgadd commands is a SPARC architecture host (as opposed to x64). The packages are designed for the SPARC architecture and might not install correctly from an x64 system.

4.If you are installing the packages directly from the Live CD from the HBA ship kit, mount the Live CD and use the cd command to change to the Live CD directory.

#cd /cdrom/raid_live/s0/Raid_card

5.Use the pkgadd -Rcommand to install the SUNWaac, SUNWgccruntime, and

StorMan packages in the install_dir_path/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot directory.

The T6320 also comes equipped with a high-speed memory subsystem, supporting up to 256 GB of DDR2 memory. With a memory bandwidth of up to 17 GB/s, the server ensures that data transfer rates do not become a bottleneck, facilitating faster processing and smoother operation for demanding applications. Moreover, the server supports multi-tier storage configurations, enabling organizations to choose the right balance of performance, capacity, and cost.

In terms of connectivity, the T6320 offers multiple gigabit Ethernet ports, creating a resilient network architecture capable of handling the high data loads typical in enterprise environments. Its redundancy features, including hot-swappable components and mirrored disks, further add to its reliability, ensuring continuous service even during maintenance.

The T6320 is built with energy efficiency in mind, minimizing power consumption without compromising performance. This characteristic is increasingly critical for organizations focused on sustainability and cost savings in their energy expenditures.

Additionally, Sun Microsystems has integrated advanced security features into the T6320, such as hardware-based security mechanisms to protect sensitive data and applications. This feature is vital for businesses operating in regulated industries or those that prioritize data integrity.

Finally, the server supports a variety of operating systems, including Solaris, Linux, and various UNIX flavors. This flexibility allows organizations to run their preferred software environments, making the T6320 a versatile option for diverse IT needs.

Overall, the Sun Microsystems T6320 stands out as a powerful, flexible, and efficient server solution, adept at handling the complexities of today's enterprise workloads while paving the way for future growth and technological advancements.
