Sun Fire X2250 Server Installation Guide • May 2008
Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10
Operating System
Note –
Before you perform this procedure, you need to set up the service processor.
If you have not done so, see
“Before You Begin” on page 25
.
Use the information that you gathered in
“Installation Worksheet” on page 26
as you
perform the configuration.
After configuring the ILOM SP, you can configure the preinstalled Solaris 10
Operating System (OS) by using another system to connect to the server, or install a
Linux or Windows platform operating system. The possible ways to do this are
described here:
■
“To Connect to the Server Using the Service Processor’s IP Address” on page 31
If you use this method, you first need to determine the service processor’s IP
address and the server must be connected to the network.
■
“To Connect to the Server Using a Terminal Program” on page 32
If you use this method, you do
not
need to determine the service processor’s IP
address, but you will need to have a cable connection from the server to the serial
port of a host system.
■
If you want to install a supported Windows or Linux (and Solaris) OS and the
required drivers, refer to the
Sun Fire X2250 Server Operating System Installation
Guide
(820-4592).
