3.1
Using JumpStart Automatic Installation
The Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500 systems can use the JumpStart™ automatic
installation feature that is described in installation documents for Solaris software.
The software that enables this feature is present on a hard disk in your system if the
system was built at the factory with internal disk boards or disk trays.
JumpStart will run only when the system is powered on for the first time.
Caution –
JumpStart may incorrectly install the system as a standalone workstation.
You should prevent JumpStart automatic installation from proceeding if the
appropriate server-specific configuration information is not in place. Information
about the JumpStart feature is available on a card titled, “JumpStart Installation
Instructions” that is provided with the system documentation.
To prevent JumpStart installation from occurring unintentionally:
■
Do not connect the system to a network when you power it on initially.
■
Do not place a Solaris release DVD-ROM in a drive when you first power on the
machine.
Note –
If JumpStart automatic installation begins unintentionally, interrupt it by
pressing L1-A (Stop-A) or Break (on TTYa). Perform a manual installation when you
are ready.
