Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 and X4200/X4200 M2 Servers Installation Guide • May 2007
Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10
Operating System
Note –
Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor.
If you have not done so, see
Use the information that you gathered in
“Installation Worksheet” on page 32
as you
perform the configuration.
After configuring the ILOM SP, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10
operating system (OS) by using another system to connect to the server, or install a
Linux or Windows platform operating system. The possible ways to do this are
described here:
■
“To Connect to the Server Using the Service Processor’s IP Address” on page 37
If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP
address and the server must be connected to the network.
■
“To Connect to the Server Using a Terminal Program” on page 38
If you use this method, you do not need to determine the service processor’s IP
address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial
port of a host system.
