■The logical drive onto which you need to place the driver package is mounted on /a.

/a is the standard Solaris mount point for the disk on which the OS is being installed.

4.If the product install directory and the logical drive are not mounted, manually mount them.

Note – With this example, you must substitute the correct host names, directory paths, and device paths in your environment.

#mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /a (for the logical drive)

#mount install_host:install_dir_path /cdrom (for the install server products)

5.Apply the HBA driver package, SUNWaac.

#cd /cdrom/Solaris_10/Product

#pkgadd -R /a -d. SUNWaac

6.Apply any patches that are specifically required for the system.

7.Reboot the system.

#reboot

The system will now be able to see, and boot from, the logical drive on which you installed the Solaris OS.

Note – You might want to keep the network install server intact for re-installing or for emergency recovery, because as of Solaris 10 5/08, the SUNWaac driver is not included on standard Solaris install media. Using the boot net -scommand from the ok prompt enables you to perform maintenance on the system, while a Solaris CD will not let you do so. You might also want to install the StorMan package on a running system. This enables you to have access to the GUI and command-line interface for the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal HBA card, to configure or monitor disks.
