Installing Solaris by Migrating an Image from a Local SCSI
Disk

To install Solaris by migrating an image from a local SCSI disk:
1. Type the following at the OBP prompt:

show-devs

The ID information for each found adapter is displayed, such as:

/pci@5d,700000/emlx@1

2. Select the Emulex adapter on which you want to enable boot from SAN by entering

the path to the adapter, for example:

" /pci@5d,700000/emlx@1" select-dev

3. To view the current boot device ID, type:

show-devs

" /pci@5d,700000/emlx@1" select-dev /* to select emlx@1 (for

example) */

.boot-id

Make a note of the WWPN, DID, or AL_PA returned from the probe and write

down the corresponding boot entry.

4. To enable boot from SAN, set the boot device ID to the SAN device from which you

want to boot. For example:

" /pci@5d,700000/emlx@1" select-dev

wwpn|did|alpa lun target_id set-boot-id

unselect-dev
