Configuring the Solaris OS

To configure the preinstalled Solaris OS:

1. Log in to the service processor as an administrator. For example:

Password: changeme

2. Start the LOM console.

ELOM:

a. Type: cd /SP/AgentInfo

b. Type: start Console

Refer to the Embedded Lights Out Manager (ELOM) Administration Guide for

detailed information.

ILOM:

Type: start/SP/Console

Select one of the following routes:

• Specify IP address.An/etc/defaultrouter file is created with the

specified IP address. When the system is rebooted, the specified IP

address becomes the default route.

• Detect IP address. Let the Solaris installation program detect an IP

address. However, the system must be on a subnet that has a router

that advertises itself by using the ICMP router discovery protocol. If

you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP

address when the system is booted.

• None. Select None if you do not have a router or do not want the

software to detect an IP address at this time. The software

automatically tries to detect an IP address on reboot.
