Minimum System Requirements
Refer to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide (Release 7 & 9) for the host
minimum hardware requirements. Before using the minimum hardware configuration, consult your
Cisco representative to determine the hardware that gives you the best performance results based on your
network configuration, proposed traffic, and desired processing power.
Required Site-Specific Information
Your system site administrator can provide the required site-specific information in Table 1-2. Use the
Notes column in this table to record the information. Several steps in the installation procedure in
Chapter 2, “Installing the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System” require you to provide this information.
Required Machine-Specific Information
Your system site administrator can provide the information called for in Table 1-3 as it applies to your
target Sun Netra machine. Use the Notes column in this table to record the information. Several steps in

Supported Platforms
This document describes the specific steps necessary for installing the Sun Solaris 10 operating system
and the operating environment on the Sun Netra and Sun Fire platforms. Two platform types are used:
Sparc-based and Opteron-based. The platforms that are supported for these products are identified in the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Hardware Installation Guide (Release 7 & 9).
Supported Disk Drives
The following disk drives are supported:

Before You Start
Be sure to read the following cautions, notes, and tips before installing the Sun Solaris 10 operating
system and the operating environment.
If you purchased the Sun hardware platform from Cisco, the Sun Solaris 10 operating system, the
operating environment, and the base Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software may already be installed.
You can skip the installation of the software. You must install all of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
software patches.
There are two methods to verify if the software was already installed:
• Check if the two files, /opt/jumpstart_log* and /.core_finished, exist on your hardware platform. If
the two files exist, the software was already installed.
• Enter man and press Enter. If the system returns the message below, the software was already
installed.
<machine name>% man
man: Command not found
Cautions, Notes, and Tips
Note The procedures in this chapter require a working knowledge of the system administration procedures for
the Sun Solaris (UNIX) operating system.
Note Be sure to have the required information listed in Chapter 1, “Preparing for Sun Solaris Operating
System and Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software Installation,” before you begin the installation
process.
Note Allow at least 2 hours downtime for the installation of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software
environment.
Note The text in the screens displayed throughout this document might differ slightly from the text displayed
on your console. The screen displays are for reference only and should be treated as examples.
Note Most of the steps in the installation process ask you to press F2 to continue. However, F2 does not apply
to all console types. If it does not apply on your system, you should press Esc-2 instead.

Chapter 2 Installing the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System
Loading the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System
Note If your platform has multiple disk drives, install the Solaris 10 Operating System on the first disk drive
only.
Installing the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System for Sparc-based Platforms
The instructions in this section were written to correspond with the instructions in the Cisco Solaris 10
Operating System Jumpstart Disk for Sparc-based Platforms. Other Solaris installations are similar, with
slight variations. These instructions willnote the differences between the sets of installationinstructions.
Step 1 Choose one of the following options to connect the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch:
• Connect to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch through a console port.
• Connect a keyboard and monitor to the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch.
Step 2 This step is optional—if you decide to skip this step, go to Step 3.
a. Place the system in single-user mode by shutting down the standby machine.
b. When the machine prompts for a password, type either ^ -d to proceed with normal startup, or the
root password for system maintenance.
Step 3 Load the appropriate version of the CD-ROM labeled Cisco Solaris 10 Operating System Jumpstart Disk
for Sparc-based Platforms into the CD-ROM drive.
Step 4 If the system is currently running, log in as root.
Step 5 Bring the system to the ok prompt by entering the following command:
# init 0
Note If you are prompted to select a language before booting from the CD, go to the ok prompt by
sending a break on the console port. On Sun Sparc-based platforms, the key sequence <cr>#.
gets you to the system controller prompt.
From the system controller prompt, use the break -y command to break out of the operating
system and console -f command to return to the console display. You should see the ok prompt.
Step 6 Boot the system from the CD-ROM drive by entering the appropriate command:
ok boot cdrom - install
Information similar to the following is displayed:
ok boot cdrom - install
