Lesson Agenda
Planning for an Oracle Solaris 11 OS Installation
Installing Oracle Solaris 11 by Using an Interactive Installer
Verifying the Operating System Installation
Importance of Working from a Plan
Implementing tasks in accordance with a plan guarantees that
tasks are:
Assigned to the appropriate personnel
Completed as required
Completed on schedule
The operating system:
Controls and manages physical resources
Serves as a liaison between a systems users, software
applications, and physical resources
Users
Applications
Operating System
Physical Resources
Planning is required to make sure that the operating system is:
Installed properly
Configured to support business needs
Planning addresses and answers such questions as:
How many users will we need to support?
What applications will we be running?
What type of network will we be using?
What are our data storage needs?
What are our hardware needs?

Identifying Network Configuration Options

Enabled by default during installation
Requires DHCP setup

Differences Between LiveCD GUI
and Text Installers
Feature LiveCD GUI Text Installer
Packages Installs desktop-based
packages
Installs server-based set of
packages
Network
configuration
Defaults to automatic network
configuration
Allows both automatic and
manual configuration of the
network
r oot user The r oot user is always
configured as a role.
The r oot user might or
might not be a role.
Memory Requires more memory than
text installer
Requires less memory than
LiveCD GUI installer
Identifying Pre-installation Tasks
Best practice: Always review installation
documentation and release notes carefully
before performing an installation.

Identify system requirements.
Identify additional installation considerations.
Check device drivers.
Identifying System Requirements
Hardware Requirement
Disk space Recommended minimum: 13 GB
Memory Recommended minimum: 1 GB
Architectures X86: 64-bit only
SPARC: Oracle Solaris M-series and T-series
systems only
Note: The recommended minimums are subject to change with
the final release of the software. See the release notes for final
disk space and memory recommendations.
Identifying Additional Installation Considerations
LiveCD ISO image installer is for 64-bit x86 platforms only.
For SPARC-based systems (M-series and T-series servers
only), use the text or automated installer.
Interactive installers can perform an initial installation on:
Whole disk
Oracle Solaris x86 partition
SPARC slice (text installer)
Caution: The installation overwrites all of the existing data
on the targeted disk.
Checking Device Drivers
Take a few minutes to verify that your system has the
appropriate drivers required to manage each of its devices.
Device drivers enable communication between the
operating system and the systems devices.
Quiz
To configure the network manually during an Oracle Solaris 11
initial installation, you must first have DHCP set up.
a. True
b. False
Quiz
In the text installer, the r oot user _____________.
a. Is always configured as a role
b. Might or might not be configured as a role
c. Is never configured as a role
Quiz
The text installer is used for SPARC-based systems only.
a. True
b. False
Lesson Agenda
Using an Interactive Installer
1. Preparing for the installation
2. Performing the installation
3. Verifying the installation
4. Rebooting the system
Preparing for the Installation
Complete pre-installation tasks.
Identify system
requirements.
Identify additional
installation considerations.
Check device drivers.
Download ISO image.
