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
System Physical memory Swap space size
Less than 32Gbytes Greater than 2Gbytes
32Gbytes and less than
128Gbytes
Greater than 4Gbytes
128Gbytes and less than
256Gbytes
Greater than 8Gbytes

/M8000/M9000
256Gbytes and greater

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

2
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
register.
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] :

4
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
