Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System

This chapter walks you through the steps for configuring the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) that might be preinstalled on your Sun Fire X2100 M2 server, depending on your hard drive configuration. Solaris 10 6/06 is the earliest supported version.

Note – Unlike with SPARC® systems, you will not see the output of the preinstalled Solaris 10 image through a monitor when you power on the server. The output of the pre-installed image is directed to a serial console instead of a monitor that is attached to the server.

Before You Begin

Before you begin configuring the preinstalled OS, be sure to do the following:

1.Perform initial configuration of the service processor and determine the server’s network settings, as described in Chapter 2.

2.Gather the information that you will need for the configuration, as listed in the “Installation Worksheet” on page 27.

Installation Worksheet

Use the worksheet in TABLE 1 to gather the information that you need to configure the pre-installed Solaris 10 OS. You only need to collect the information that applies to your application of the system.
