Appendix B Creating a Bootable Array With the Sun Blade RAID 5 Expansion Module B-3
5. Obtain the following packages from the Live CD or from
http://support.intel.com/support/go/sunraid.htm, and copy them into a
working directory on the install server:
■ SUNWaac
■ StorMan
■ SUNWgccruntime
Note – When you copy these packages to a working directory, ensure that you use
the recursive copy command (cp -r). The packages are structured in a
directory/file system format, so you need to copy the entire contents.
6. Modify two locations on the network install server:
■ The miniroot - The directory on the install server that is mounted as the root
directory on client machines during the client machines’ installation process.
See “Modifying the Miniroot Directory On the Install Server” on page 3.
■ The product installation directory - The directory on the network install
server in which all other Solaris products will be installed during the network
install. See “Modifying the Product Installation Directory on the Install Server”
on page 5.
7. Build a logical drive on which to install the Solaris 10 5/08 OS.
See “Building a Logical Drive On Which to Install the Solaris OS” on page 6.
B.3 Modifying the Miniroot Directory On the
Install Server
The miniroot is the Solaris image mounted on / during a network installation, and is
used to provide a Solaris environment to run installation programs within.
To enable configuration of logical drives on the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID Internal
HBA card and to enable booting via the logical drives, you must add three packages
to the miniroot directory:
■ SUNWaac - The SUNWaac driver, which is required by the Solaris 10 5/08 OS to
access logical drives.
■ SUNWgccruntime - The gcc runtime libraries, which are required by the
command-line interface and the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user
interface (GUI).
