Configuring Boot from SAN on Solaris SFS (SPARC)
To configure boot from SAN:
1. If necessary, update the boot code on the adapter. See chapter 7., “Updating and
Enabling Boot Code,” on page 1595 for more information.
2. If necessary, enable the boot code on the adapter. See chapter 7., “Updating and
Enabling Boot Code,” on page 1595 for more information.
3. Type the following at the OBP prompt:
show-devs
The ID information for each found adapter is displayed, such as:
/pci@22,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/pci@9/emlx@0
4. Enable boot from SAN on each Emulex adapter in the system by typing the
following set of commands, replacing adapter_id with the ID information (such as
shown above), for each Emulex adapter in turn. There is a space between the first
quotation mark and the first character of the adapter ID.
" adapter_id" select-dev [for example,
“ /pci@22,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/pci@9/emlx@0” select-dev]
set-sfs-boot
unselect-dev
5. After all Emulex adapters have been enabled to boot from SAN, reset the system
with the following command:
reset-all
6. After the system resets, boot the Solaris installation CD and follow the prompts.
7. After the installation completes successfully, you will be prompted to reboot or exit
the system. Press <!> and then press the <Enter> key to go to the Unix prompt.
8. Once the Unix prompt appears, append the following line to the system file at
/a/etc/system:
set pcie:pcie_max_mps=0
9. Save and reboot server.
Installing 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 the 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.
To install from a network image:
1. Log on as a superuser or equivalent.
2. Insert the Solaris DVD in the system's drive.
