Setup and Power-On Procedures

■
If the name service you use is NIS or NIS+, determine whether you want to
specify a name server or have the installation program find one.
If you want to specify a name server rather than have the installation program
find one, make a note of the server’s host name and the server’s IP address.
■
If the name service you use is DNS, make a note of the IP addresses for the DNS
server.
You must enter at least one IP address, and you can enter up to three addresses.
■
If the name service you use is LDAP, provide the following information about
your LDAP profile:
■
Profile name
■
Profile server
■
IP address
During installation of the Solaris OS, the software automatically detects the system’s
on-board network interfaces and any installed PCI network interface cards for which
native Solaris device drivers exist. The installation program then asks you to select
one of the interfaces as the primary network interface and prompts you for the
information you gathered. Depending on how you answer other installation
questions, the system may prompt you for setup information in addition to the
information you gathered in the preceding steps.
You can configure only one network interface during installation of the operating
environment. You must configure any additional interfaces separately, after the
operating environment is installed. For more information, see the
Sun Fire V445
Server Administration Guide.
After completing installation of the Solaris OS (in a later step), the primary network
interface is ready for operation. The device driver for the server’s on-board Ethernet
interfaces is automatically installed with the Solaris release. For more information
about network interfaces and configuring the Sun Fire V445 server’s second Gigabit
Ethernet interface, see the
Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide.
Powering On the Server
You can use either of two methods to power on the server:
■
Press the Power button
■
Use the
poweron
command from the ALOM
sc>
prompt
For information about the status indicators that appear during power-on, see the
Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide
