Booting From the Network Adapter
Note –
Use the procedures in this appendix if you are not using a CD 0.
This appendix contains two procedures for booting from the network adapter to
enable detection of the installation devices. You must boot from the adapter under
these conditions:
■
The network adapter card driver is not bundled with the Solaris OE on the boot
server network.
■
The host is a system that does not have disks connected directly to it, such as an
enterprise-level system. In this case, booting from the network adapter is
optional, but it is preferable because of the 1-Gbit connection.
Only an experienced UNIX system administrator should perform these procedures.
Note –
These procedures are necessary if the network adapter card driver is not
bundled with the Solaris operating environment on the boot server on the network.
Check your Solaris operating environment to determine whether the driver is
bundled with it.
Booting through a network adapter is mandatory when the host is an enterprise-
level system or other system that does not have its own directly-connected disks. It
is optional and preferable when a host has a directly-connected disk, you might
prefer to boot through the adapter because of the 1-Gbit connection.
This chapter is organized as follows:
