Chapter 1 Planning Your Installation
This module describes how to plan and install the Solaris operating environment.
How to Plan Your Installation
-
Make sure these instructions are for you.
|
If You Are Installing Solaris From ...
|
Then Go
To ...
|
|
A CD-ROM
drive attached to your system
|
Step 2.
|
|
A remote CD-ROM drive on the network
|
Solaris
Advanced Installation Guide in the Solaris server product box.
|
-
Does your system already have a previous version of the Solaris operating environment installed?
If yes, go to Uprading Solaris in this book.
If no, go to step 3.
-
Make sure your hardware is supported.
See the module Supported Hardware in this book.
-
If your system is attached to a network, gather system information.
Use the following table to gather system information that you may be asked to supply during installation.
Collecting this information now will save you time during installation.
If the system you're installing already has a previous version of the Solaris operating environment,
you can find system information by using the commands shown.
If the system you're installing does not have the Solaris operating environment installed, the only
way to get this information is to ask your system administrator or whoever has set up your network.
|
Network Information You May Need to Supply
|
Example
|
Command for Finding Information
|
|
System's name (host name)
|
crater
|
/usr/bin/uname -u
|
|
Primary network interface
|

|
ifconfig -a
|
|
IP address
|
129.221.2.1
|
ypmatch system_name host or
nismatch system_name hosts.org_dir
|
|
Domain name
|
chandy.West.Arp.COM
|
usr/bin/domainname
|
|
System part of a subnet?
|
Yes
|
Check
for existing subnet in /etc/netmasks
|
|
Netmask
|
255.255.255.0
|
more /etc/netmasks

-
Plan disk space.
Before installing the Solaris operating environment, use the following tables to determine your
disk space needs beyond the required Solaris software group.

How to Install the Solaris
Operating Environment
-
Decide which method to use for installing the software in your product box.
|
With This Method ...
|
You Can ...
|
You Can't ...
|
|
Solaris Web Start
|
-
Install all the software in your product box (the Solaris operating environment and co-packaged
software) at once from a single, browser-based tool
-
Install all the software with the default option, or pick only the software
you want to install with the customize option
-
Install software on systems without graphic cards (headless systems). The headless
system must have network access to another system with browser capabilities
|
-
Upgrade from a previous version of Solaris
-
Customize the software installations with choices at the lowest levels (for
example, selecting/deselecting packages)
-
Use this method on systems with less than 48 Mbytes of system memory
-
Use this method on systems with less than a 1.05 Gbyte boot disk [This restriction applies only to the size required to run Solaris Web Start; Solaris Web Start will
determine whether your system has enough disk space to install the products you select.]
|
|
Solaris Interactive
Installation program, followed by other product installation programs
|
-
Install the Solaris operating environment first, and then install the co-packaged software
separately
-
Upgrade from a previous version of the Solaris operating environment
-
Customize the software installations at the lowest levels (for example, selecting/deselecting
packages)
-
Install software on systems without graphic cards (headless systems)
-
Install on systems with the minimum hardware requirements specified for the
Solaris software
|
|
-
Insert the Solaris CD into the system's CD-ROM drive.
|
CD-ROM Drive - Tray Version
|
CD-ROM Drive - Caddy
Version
|

Press the eject button on the front panel of the CD-ROM drive (a tray will slide out if
you have this type of caddy).

-
Insert the Solaris CD (logo up) into the tray.
-
Push the tray into the CD-ROM drive.
|
-
To open the caddy, pinch the corners while lifting the lid at the center.

Wait for booting to complete.
After you type the boot command, the system goes through a booting phase where hardware and system
components are checked. This lasts for several minutes. The following screen provides an example of what
you will see:
Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new command mode)
