Chapter 1 Before installing Solaris OS

This chapter describes what information should be confirmed before installing Solaris OS.

1.1 How to determine swap size

Swap space size is determined by considering the swap space size requirement of the application and the

physical memory size.

If the system runs out of swap space when the application is in use, the system may terminate abnormally.

Therefore, ensure that you allocate enough swap space to satisfy the demands of all the applications.

The memory image is written once in the swap space listed first in the /etc/vfstab file. If the system crashes,

the memory image in the swap space is copied as a crash dump file under the /var/crash/hostname directory

as the system reboots.

To ensure crash dump files are complete, follow the table to determine the swap space size.

Table 1.1 Swap space

Less than 32Gbytes Greater than 2Gbytes

32Gbytes and less than

128Gbytes

Greater than 4Gbytes

Greater than 8Gbytes

/M8000/M9000

Greater than 6 percent of physical

memory

Note:

A greater amount of swap space may be required for the memory image, depending on how the system has

been used at the time of the system crash. If the memory image is larger than the swap size, the crash

dump file cannot be taken. In this case, enlarge the swap space or the device of the crash dump file with

the dumpadm(1M) command. For use of the dumpadm(1M), see the relevant man pages.

1.2 How to use DVD drive

When using DVD drive on SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers, it needs to be set up with the

cfgdevice(8) command of eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF).

For more details, refer to “SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF

Reference Manual”.

1.3 Flow of installation

Flow of installation is as follows:

1. Set up DVD drive if you use DVD drive on SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers to install

Solaris OS. For more information, refer to “SPARC Enterprise

M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF Reference Manual”.

2. Install Solaris OS.

3. Add the following lines to /etc/system.

SPARC Enterprise T1000/T2000/T5120/T5140/T5220/T5240 servers

set autoup=60 *1

set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x2001 *2

set pcie_expected_ce_mask = 0x2001 *6

set maxfastscan=0x2000

SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers

set autoup=60 *1

set drmach:fmem_timeout=30 *2

set heaplp_use_stlb=0 *3

set pcie:pcie_aer_ce_mask=0x2001 *2

set mc-opl:mc_max_rewrite_loop=20000 *4

set drmach:drmach_disable_mcopy = 1 *5

set pcie_expected_ce_mask = 0x2001 *6

set maxfastscan=0x2000

*1 The value depends on amount of the installed memory. For more information, refer to “3.1 Set up

system with large amount of memory.”

*2 This is no longer required in Solaris 10 OS 8/07 or later.

*3 The following messages is displayed when the system is rebooted until 125100-04 or later is

applied but this messages can be safely ignored. This is no longer required in Solaris 10 OS 10/08

or later.

sorry, variable 'heaplp_use_stlb' is not defined in the 'kernel'

*4 This is no longer required in Solaris 10 OS 5/08 or later.

*5 This is required only when Dynamic Reconfiguration is used.

*6 This is no longer required in Solaris 10 OS 10/08 or later.

4. Apply the latest Recommended & Security Patch Cluster for Solaris 10 OS.

The latest Recommended & Security Patch Cluster contains mandatory patches for SPARC

Enterprise servers and important modifications.

5. If Enhanced Support Facility comes with SPARC Enterprise Servers, install it.

6. If PTF R07021 or later comes with Solaris 10 OS, apply the PTF for Solaris 10 OS.

7. If PTF R07021 or later comes with Solaris 10 OS, apply the cluster for ESF.

8. Install Sun Explorer Data collector 5.7 or later if you install Solaris OS on SPARC Enterprise

T1000/T2000 servers. Install Sun Explorer Data collector 5.10 or later if you install Solaris OS on

SPARC Enterprise T5120/T5140/T5220/T5240 servers.

You can download the latest Recommended & Security Patch Clusters and Recommended & Security

Patches from the following site.

Chapter 2 Notes when installing Solaris OS

This chapter describes notes when installing Solaris OS.

2.1 Solaris Registration Wizard

Although the window "Solaris Registration Wizard" may pop up when you login as super user, never

2.2 Messages of st driver

After upgrading to Solaris 10 or installing Solaris 10, if you edit /kernel/drv/st.conf file, the following

message may be displayed while the system is booted afterwards.

<device path name> (stXX):

<data-property-name> options value invalid bits set: 0x4000

"XX" shows the instance number of st driver.

This message shows that the bit value 0x4000(ST_BUFFERED_WRITES) of <options> in the

/kernel/drv/st.conf file is invalid. However the system is not influenced even if this message is displayed,

because the Solaris 10 system ignores the bit value ST_BUFFERED_WRITES of <options>.

If you do not want to display the message, change the <options> setting in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file so that

the bit value 0x4000 is not specified. Refer to the following example.

Before changing the st.conf file

Tape-config-list=<vid+pid>, <pretty print>, <data-property-name>;

<data-property-name> = 1,0x34,0,0xd639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,0x8c,3;

After changing the st.conf file

Tape-config-list=<vid+pid>, <pretty print>, <data-property-name>;

<data-property-name> = 1,0x34,0,0x9639,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,0x8c,3;

2.3 Set up for NFS V4

At the first system boot after installing Solaris 10 OS 11/06 or earlier, you are prompted to answer the

following question about NFSv4. If you need to override NFSv4 default domain, answer “yes”.

This system is configured with NFS version 4, which uses a domain

name that is automatically derived from the system's name services.

The derived domain name is sufficient for most configurations. In a

few cases, mounts that cross different domains might cause files to

be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common domain name.

Do you need to override the system's default NFS version 4 domain

name (yes/no) ? [no] :

You are prompted to select NFSv4 domain name configuration during installation since Solaris 10 OS 8/07.

- NFSv4 Domain Name -----------------------------------------------------------

NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the

system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most

configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might

cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common

domain name.

The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""

NFSv4 Domain Configuration

----------------------------------------------

[ ] Use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system

[ ] Specify a different NFSv4 domain

2.4 Selection of keyboard layout

You may be prompted to select the keyboard layout during installation since Solaris 10 OS 8/07.

If no keyboard is connected, select the default value (US-English) and continue the installation.

- Configure Keyboard Layout ---------------------------------------------------

Please specify the keyboard layout from the list below.

> To make a selection, use the arrow keys to highlight the option and

press Return to mark it [X].

Keyboard Layout

-------------------------

^ [ ] Slovenian

| [ ] Slovakian

| [ ] Spanish

| [ ] Swedish

| [ ] Swiss-French

| [ ] Swiss-German

| [ ] Taiwanese

| [ ] TurkishQ

| [ ] TurkishF

| [ ] UK-English

- [X] US-English
