Install Solaris from a Network Image
The system must have a DVD drive and must be part of the site's network and naming
service. If you use a naming service, the system must already be in a service, such as
NIS, NIS+, DNS, or LDAP. If you do not use a naming service, you must distribute
information about this system by following your site's policies.
Note: This procedure assumes that the system is running the Volume Manager. If you
are not using the Volume Manager to manage media, refer to the Sun
Microsystems System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems.
1. Log on as a superuser or equivalent.
2. Insert the Solaris DVD in the system's drive.
3. Create a directory to contain the DVD image.
# mkdir -p install_dir_path
Install_dir_path specifies the directory where the DVD image is to be copied.
4. Change to the Tools directory on the mounted disc.
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Tools
Note: For Solaris 10 only:
a. Remove the SUNWemlxu and SUNWemlxs from the
/install_dir_path/Solaris/Tools/Boot directory.
b. Unzip the lpfc driver from the /temp pkgadd -R
/install_dir_path/Solaris/Tools/Boot -d/temp directory.
