■

■
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive for a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM based OS installation
Installation Overview
In order to successfully complete the installation, use an FC-based device during the disk
selection portion of the installation. At the end of the interactive installation, you must select
Manual Reboot.
After OS installation and before rebooting, gather the conguration information by issuing the
luxadm command on the newly installed logical unit number (LUN). The luxadm command
output provides a map from c#t#d# to the array WWN and LUN number. Record the HBA
World Wide Name (WWN) and array WWN port information.
During rebooting, use the WWN and LUN number to set the HBA BIOS for each HBA to be
used to boot from each LUN on the same array. Change the system BIOS to perform booting
from CD-ROM or Network to disk.
Note – Console access is required for HBA and system BIOS changes.
In addition, note the following during the Sun Solaris OS installation.
■
If using a custom disk layout, do not remove the overlap (s2) partition. The x86 boot
installer has a dependency on this partition.
■
By default, the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software manages the FC boot devices with
multiple paths to a single boot device.
