Solaris 2.6 Installation Cookbook-CSDN博客

This document will walk you through the steps involved in installing Solaris 2.6 on the Sparc architecture.

You will need the following information before you can begin installation:

The fully qualified hostname
IP address of the system
Netmask (if applicable)
IP address of your gateway router
The name of the ethernet interface that will be used
The location of the "stop" key on your keyboard

If you have any questions or need assistance, please call OIIT Customer Services at 1-888-875-3697.

Power up the system. Insert the Solaris 2.6 Install CD. Once you see the inital banner of system information, the machine should begin checking memory. During the memory check, press stop-a (the stop key and the "a" key at the same time.) If you don't have a stop key, please contact OIIT support at the number above.

You should see a prompt that looks like this:
ok>
At that prompt, type:
boot cdrom
If this fails, you may need to enter the entire hardware path to your cdrom. Please call OIIT support for help in discerning this path.

The machine will begin booting off the CD-ROM. This may take several minutes depending upon the speed of the hardware. Once the machine has booted, you will be presented with the following prompts.

Steps

Window/Screen Titles

Read and choose Continue.

Step 3

Identify This System

Read and choose Continue.

Step 4

Host Name

We recommend that you use only the node-name of the machine, rather than the fully qualified domain name. Example: ABC rather than ABC.MySchool.PeachNet.EDU.

Step 5

Network Connectivity

Choose Yes (default) and choose Continue.

Important Note:
Due to security concerns, please do not postpone or neglect any of the procedures outlined in this document including the post-installation instructions. It is very important that your machine be removed from the network should you be unable to complete the post-installation instructions.

Step 6

Primary Network Interface

Choose the name of your ethernet adapter and choose Continue.

Step 7

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the system and choose Continue.

Step 8

Confirm Information

Verify the information and choose Continue.

Step 9

Name Service

Select Other and choose Continue.

Step 10

Confirm Information

Verify the information and choose Continue.

Step 11

Subnets

Choose the answer that is appropriate for your network (if you have a subnet-mask, you should choose Yes) and choose Continue.

Step 12

Netmask

Enter the appropriate netmask information for your host and choose Continue. Note: This step will not appear if you answered No to the previous step.

Step 13

Time Zone

Choose Geographic Region (default) and Set...

Step 14

Geographic Region

Select United States (default) and Eastern (default) and choose Continue.

Step 15

Date and Time

Enter the correct date and time and choose Continue.

Step 16

Confirm Information

Verify the information and choose Continue. Depening upon the speed of your machine, there may be a long pause before the next screen appears.

Step 17

Solaris Interactive Installation

Read and choose Continue.

Step 18

Allocate Client Services?

Choose Continue.

Step 19

Select Software

Choose Developer System Support and choose Customize.

Step 20

Customize Software

Choose System Accounting, De-Select Power Management OW Utilities and Power Management Software and OK

Step 21

Select Software

Choose Continue

Step 22

Select Disks

Select the disk(s) you wish to use during this installation and choose Continue.

Step 22a

Optional: Preserve Data?

If you choose Continue any data on the disk(s) you've selected in the previous step will be lost.

Step 23

Automatically Layout File Systems?

Choose Manual Layout

These recommendations are based on a two (2) gigabyte system drive. If your drive is larger, feel free to adjust these sizes to your needs.

We recommend 1.5x the machine's physical RAM with a minimum of 200M for swap space.

Historically, a physical, disk-based /tmp filesystem was created. We recommend against creating a disk-based /tmp filesystem. Solaris is configured to use tempfs which is a special filesystem that uses Virtual Memory (physical RAM + Swap) rather than using a disk. The result is less I/O and a faster system. The risk in using tempfs is that, if improperly configured, any user can write files to /tmp and fill up Virtual Memory. The OIIT Solaris Suppliment that you install following this installation will ask you the size limit for /tmp so that this problem can be avoided.
NOTE:
If your system has very little physical RAM (<32M) you may wish to create a swap partition during this step.

2GB System Disk
/	200MB
/usr	800MB
/var	250MB
swap	350MB
/usr/local	400MB

9GB System Disk
/	200MB
/usr	800MB
/var	400MB
/opt	400MB
swap	350MB
/usr/local	400MB

We recommend that /opt , /home and /www live on a disk other than the system disk if the machine is going to be used as a web/mail server and has a 2GB system disk. If you need help migrating these filesystems to an alternate disk, please contact TSS via the helpdesk at 1-888-875-3697.

If your system will be used as a mail server and you wish to deliver mail to /var/spool/mail please size /var accordingly, or create a partition for /var/spool/. If you wish to deliver mail to user's home directories, size that/those partition(s) accordingly.

If you feel your system is heavily taxed in terms of I/O (campus-wide e-mail server, campus-wide web server, banner server, etc.) we recommend that you split up the "system" partitions across disks.

If your disk is larger than 2GB, please note that some filesystems do not need to increase in size. Such filesystems are / and /usr/local.

Solaris uses slice 2 as a special slice/partition that represents the whole disk. We strongly recommend that you not place filesystems on slice 2 and that you leave the configuration for slice 2 at the default values.

Step 24

File System and Disk Layout

Choose Customize.

CHANGE: Insert our disk recommendations here.

Step 24a

Optional: Unused Disk Space

Choose OK.

Step 25

Mount Remote File Systems?

Choose Continue.

Step 26

Profile

Verify and choose Continue.

Step 27

Optional: Warning

Choose OK (unused disk space again).

The last prompt you will see will ask you if you wish to auto-reboot or manually reboot, the choice is yours.

Once the machine reboots, you will be prompted to set your root password. After setting the root password, you may be asked about using power management features. OIIT does not recommend the use of Solaris' power management features.
