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
SPARC Enterprise Servers
T1000/T2000/T5120/T5140
/T5220/T5240/M3000/M4000/M
5000
/M8000/M9000
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
1
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.
