Using Different Versions of Solaris
Note –
The Netra t1 ships with Solaris 7 (11/99) pre-installed and fully patched. If
you do not intend to alter this configuration of the Netra t1, skip this chapter.
This chapter tells you how to install Solaris 2.6 onto a Netra t1. The instructions
require you to use the bootable Solaris Operating Environment Installation CD 9/99
(part no. 704-6914-10) supplied with the Netra t1.
Although the Netra t1 ships with Solaris 7 pre-installed and patched, this chapter
refers you to the documentation supplied with Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 if you need to
install either of those operating systems yourself (for example, if you install Solaris
2.6 but then decide to upgrade to Solaris 7 or 8). The Solaris 7 and 8 installations are
standard procedures involving no supplementary CD. We recommend you install
Solaris 7 (11/99 or later).
The chapter goes on to tell you which patches you need to apply if you install
Solaris 2.6, 7 or 8 yourself (instead of using the system as configured and patched by
Sun during manufacturing).
The chapter contains the following sections:
■
“Installing Solaris release 2.6” on page 66
■
“Installing Solaris release 7 or 8” on page 68
■
“The Patches You Need” on page 68
