SPARC: To Install or Upgrade With the Oracle Solaris Installation Program

This procedure describes how to install a standalone SPARC based system from CDor DVD media for UFS file systems.

Note - If you want to install the Oracle Solaris OS on a machine ordomain that does not have a directly attached DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive, youcan use a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive that is attached to anothermachine. For detailed instructions, refer to Appendix B, Installing or Upgrading Remotely (Tasks), in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations.

Before You Begin

Perform the following tasks before you begin your installation.

  • Ensure that you have the necessary media.

    Select one of the following options:

    • For a DVD installation, you need the Oracle Solaris Operating System for SPARC Platforms DVD.

    • For a CD installation:

      You need the following media:

      • Oracle Solaris Software CDs.

      • Oracle Solaris Languages for SPARC Platforms CDs – The installation program prompts you for these CDs if necessary to support languages for specific geographic regions.

        Note - Starting with the Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 release, only a DVD is provided. Oracle Solaris Software CDs are no longer provided.

  • Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements.

    Your system should meet the following requirements.

    • Memory – 1.5 GB or greater

    • Disk space – 6.8 GB or greater Conya doss still rar.

    • Processor speed – 200 MHz or greater

    For detailed information about system requirements, see System Requirements and Recommendations.

  • Gather the information you need to install the Oracle Solaris OS.

    Select one of the following options:

    • For a nonnetworked system:

      Gather the following information.

    • For a networked system, gather the following information.

      Note - Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, you have the option during an initial installation to change the network security settings so that all network services, except Secure Shell, are disabled or restricted to respond to local requests only. This security option is only available during an initial installation, not during an upgrade. An upgrade maintains any previously set services. If necessary, you can restrict network services after an upgrade by using the netservices command. See Planning Network Security in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.

      The network services can be enabled after installation by using the netservices open or by enabling individual services by using SMF commands. See Revising Security Settings After Installation in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.

      • Host name of the system that you are installing

      • Keyboard layout

        Note - If the keyboard is self-identifying, the keyboard layout automatically configures during installation. If the keyboard is not self-identifying, you can select from a list of supported keyboard layouts during installation.

        PS/2 keyboards are not self-identifying. You will be asked to select the keyboard layout during the installation.

        For further information, see keyboard Keyword in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations.

      • Language and locales that you intend to use on the system

      • Host IP address

      • Subnet mask

      • Type of naming service (for example, DNS, NIS, or NIS+)

      • Domain name

        Note - During installation, you can choose the default NFSv4 domain name. Or, you can specify a custom NFSv4 domain name. For further information, see NFSv4 Domain Name Configurable During Installation in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.

      • Host name of the name server

      • Host IP address of the name server

      • Root password

    For information that you need to gather to install your system, see Checklist for Installation. If you are upgrading your system, see Checklist for Upgrading in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade . Note that you may need to provide your support credentials and proxy information during the installation or upgrade for Auto Registration, a feature of Oracle Solaris, as described in the checklists.

    Note - If you have a system that contains non-global zones, Live Upgrade, a feature of Oracle Solaris, is the recommended upgrade program or program to add patches. Other upgrade programs might require extensive upgrade time, because the time required to complete the upgrade increases linearly with the number of installed non-global zones.

    For information about upgrading with Live Upgrade, a feature of Oracle Solaris, see Part I, Upgrading With Live Upgrade, in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning.

  • (Optional) Back up your system.

    If you want to preserve any existing data or applications, back up the system. For detailed instructions about how to back up your system, see Chapter 22, Backing Up and Restoring UFS File Systems (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems.

  1. Insert the Oracle Solaris Operating System for SPARC Platforms DVD or OracleSolaris Software for SPARC Platforms - 1 CD.
  2. Boot the system.

      Specifies to run the text installer in a desktop session. Use this option to override the default GUI installer.

    • To boot from the local DVD or CD and start the text installerin a console session, type the following command.
      nowin

      Specifies to run the text installer in a console session. Use this option to override the default GUI installer.

    For detailed information about the Oracle Solaris installation GUI and text installer, seeOracle Solaris Installation Program GUI or Text Installer Requirements.

    If the operating system cannot locate a self-identifying keyboard, the next screen displayskeyboard layout selections.

    Note - PS/2 keyboards are not self-identifying. You will be asked to select the keyboardlayout during the installation.

  4. (Optional) Select the desired keyboard layout from the screen below and press F2 tocontinue.

    The system configures the devices and interfaces and searches for configuration files. Ifyou selected a GUI installation in the earlier steps, the next two screensconfirm GUI functioning.

  5. (Optional) In the following screen, press Enter.

    Note - If your system has insufficient memory to display a graphical user interface (GUI),the program exists and displays an error message. You can upgrade your memoryand restart the installation.

    For an alternative that requires less memory to install, restart the installation andselect a text installer option instead of the GUI installer option.

    After progress messages are completed, another confirmation screen is displayed.

  6. (Optional) Move your cursor into the following text screen and press Enter.

    A list of language choices is displayed.

  7. In the following screen, select the language you want to use during theinstallation, and press Enter.
  8. If you are prompted, answer the system configuration questions.
    • If you preconfigured all of the system information, the installation program does not prompt you to enter any configuration information. See Chapter 2, Preconfiguring System Configuration Information (Tasks), in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations for more information.

    • If you did not preconfigure all the system information, the installation program prompts you for this information on several screens. Use the Checklist for Installation to help you answer the configuration questions.

    • During installation, you can choose the default NFSv4 domain name. Or, you can specify a custom NFSv4 domain name. For more information about specifying a domain name, see NFSv4 Domain Name Configurable During Installation in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.

    • One configuration question asks you whether you want to enable network services for use by remote clients. The default response is 'Yes, I would like to enable network services for use by remote clients.'

      Selecting 'No' provides a more secure configuration in which Secure Shell is the only network service provided to remote clients. Selecting 'Yes' enables a larger set of services as in previous Oracle Solaris releases. You can safely select 'No' as any services can be enabled after installation. For further information about these options, see Planning Network Security in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.

      The network services can be enabled after installation by using the netservices open command or by enabling individual services by using SMF commands. See Revising Security Settings After Installation in Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Installation Guide: Planning for Installation and Upgrade.
