Booting and Installing Solaris: Interactive
7
- This chapter provides procedures to boot a system and perform an interactive installation using the Solaris installation program. If you're using the:
-
-
Initial installation option - you can choose the defaults shown and have software automatically laid out for you, or you can customize the software and file system layout.
-
Upgrade option - you choose the disk for upgrading, add or delete software if desired, then start the upgrade.
- The procedure in this chapter should be done on the system that is being installed.
1 Make sure that the system's peripheral devices are properly configured.
- Before installing Solaris software, you must configure peripheral devices so they do not conflict with each other, and so that Solaris software can access them. Configuring peripheral devices involves setting jumpers or running a software program under MS-DOS. See the x86 Device Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.
-
Caution - If peripheral devices are not correctly configured before you install the Solaris software, or if you are using unsupported devices, the Solaris installation program will fail.
2 Insert the Solaris boot diskette (shown below) into the system's a: diskette drive.
-
3 If you are using the system's local CD-ROM drive to install the Solaris software on the system, prepare the CD-ROM drive.
- The instructions that follow cover the most common types of CD-ROM drives. If your CD-ROM drive is not one of the following types, see your hardware manual for instructions.
-
| CD-ROM Drive - Caddy Version | CD-ROM Drive - Tray Version |
|

| this type of caddy).
(2) Insert the Solaris CD (logo up) into the tray.
|
(3) With the arrow on the caddy pointing toward the CD-ROM drive, insert the caddy.
| (3) Push the tray back into CD-ROM drive. |
4 Make sure you've reviewed the task map for an interactive installation (shown in Figure 2-2 on page 14).
5 If you are installing a system connected through a tip line, ensure that your window display is at least 80 columns wide and 24 rows long.
- Otherwise, the character installation interface will display improperly. You can use the stty command to find out the current dimensions of your tip window.
6 Follow the instructions before you boot the system:
-
| If The System Is ... | Then ... |
|
| Off | 1) Turn on the system components in the order recommended in your hardware guide. 2) Go to Step 7. |
| On | 1) If the system is running Solaris software, enter the
following commands:
$ su root
# halt
2) Go to Step 7. |
7 Choose to boot from the local CD-ROM drive (CD) or from another system on the network (NET).
- The following is a sample screen.
8 Choose the interactive option to install the Solaris software.
- The following is a sample screen.
-
Caution - IDE disk drives do not automatically map out bad blocks like other drives supported by Solaris software. Before installing Solaris on an IDE disk, you may want to perform a surface analysis on the disk. For detailed instructions, go to Appendix E, "Troubleshooting," page 176.
9 Install the Solaris software on the system by using the Solaris installation program displayed on the screen.
- You are now in the hands of the Solaris installation program. This menu-driven, interactive program guides you step-by-step through installing Solaris software; it also has online help to answer your questions. As shown below, the program has two interfaces to accommodate different hardware.
- If you want to record your responses, use the work sheet in Appendix A, "Worksheets for the Solaris Installation Program." There is also a time zone map on page 180 to help you set your system's time clock.
-
10 If you used the upgrade option, see Chapter 9, "Completing an Upgrade," for information needed to complete an upgrade.
- You must reboot the system after an upgrade.
11 Start the OpenWindows software to display the desktop:
-
$ /usr/openwin/bin/openwin
|
12 If you've allocated space for diskless clients, dataless clients, or AutoClient systems during the Solaris installation program, you must use the Solstice Host Manager to complete set up of these clients.
- The Solaris installation program only allocates space for clients during an initial installation. The Solstice Host Manager completes client set up by providing their required directories. See the System Administration Guide, Volume I.
-
- For post-installation information, see Chapter 10, "Where to Go After Installing Solaris."
