Sun Solaris 10 Update 6 x86/x64 Fibre Channel
Operating System Booting Procedure
Starting with Sun Solaris 10 Update 6, x86/x64 Operating System (OS), Fibre Channel (FC)
devices now appear in the disk selection portion of Solaris SunInstall. An interactive Solaris 10
Update 6 installation is now required due to the potentially large number of devices that might
appear in the disk selection portion of Solaris SunInstall.

OS includes Sun StorageTek SAN Foundation software with the Sun 2-Gbit and 4-Gbit Fibre
Channel (FC) HBA drivers, and the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software.
