Operating System Installation Options
The Sun Blade X6450 can be configured to install the operating system in a wide
variety of locations.
This section describes some of the options available. They include:
■ Installing the operating system on the compact flash, which shares characteristics
with a hard drive, and which can support some operating systems. This option is
described in
“Compact Flash Drive” on page 7 .
■ Installing the operating system on the SSD, or Solid State Disk device. See “Solid
State Disk Drive (SSD)” on page 7 .
■ Configure diskless network boot, which boots the server module from a boot
image on another server. See the Sun Blade X6450 Server Module Operating System
Installation Guide or your operating system documentation for more information.
■ Installing the operating system on a remote drive, which might be in the chassis
(connected through the SAS-NEM module to a Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module) or
outside the chassis, in a storage device such as a SAN. See
“Connecting to SAS
Devices” on page 8 and “Connecting to Exterior Storage Devices Using a Fibre
Channel Connection” on page 10
