Installing a Windows Server 2003
Image From a RIS Server
This chapter is intended for advanced system administrators who want to
incorporate the Sun Blade X6440 server module driver package into a Windows
Server 2003 SP2 image that resides on a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server and
then install that RIS image on the Sun Blade X6440 server module. Both 32-bit and
64-bit versions of the Windows 2003 SP2 operating system are supported.
RIS can be used to set up computers remotely by using a RIS network shared folder
as the source of the Windows operating system image. You can install the Windows
operating system on remote boot-enabled computers that are connected to the
network by booting from a PXE ROM or Remote Boot Disk. The Sun Blade X6440
server module is one such computer.
This chapter is not a tutorial on RIS; it provides guidance on how to incorporate the
Sun Blade X6440 server module-specific drivers into a RIS image.
