Getting Started With Sun Installation Assistant
2.2
The Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) is a tool designed to be used with x64 Sun Fire and Sun
Blade servers to assist in the deployment of supported Linux operating systems (OS), as well as
system rmware upgrades. With SIA, your deployment tasks can be completed using the
graphical wizard-based interface or in unattended mode.
Note – As of the release of this document, SIA can not be used to install Windows Server 2008
R2. You will need to perform a manual installation of Windows. For more information on
performing a manual installation of Windows, see the
Installation Guide
■
For operating system installation, when used in interactive mode by booting the SIA
.
interface, SIA assists in the OS installation process. You will need to provide a retail version
of OS distribution media and SIA will hand you o to the OS native installer as required. SIA
will automatically inventory your system hardware and download the latest device drivers
supported by Sun. This means you will not need to create a separate drivers disk. SIA does
that work for you.
■
For system rmware upgrades, SIA can be used to upgrade the system BIOS, service
processor, and optional HBA (host bus adapter used for disk control) rmware with the
latest xes and enhancements.
■
For automated deployment, SIA can be used in unattended mode to automate the process of
OS installation or system rmware upgrades. A special text-based SIA state le is used to
automatically answer prompts you would have answered in interactive (attended) mode.
Sun Fire X4640 Server Windows
Note – As of the release of this document, SIA can not be used to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux versions 4.8 or 5.3 in unattended mode. You can use a normal PXE-based installation
of these operating systems that does not use SIA. For more information on performing a
PXE installation of RHEL, see the
Sun Fire X4640 Server Linux Installation Guide.

Local and Remote Media Options
Use SIA to install an operating system or upgrade system rmware on supported your Sun Fire
X4640 server using one of the following methods:
■
Locally at the server using the SIA CD/DVD or a USB ash drive prepared with SIA
software. Boot SIA from a CD/DVD in the server’sCD/DVD drive, or via USB ash drive
prepared with SIA software (as described in
) directly connected to one of the server’s USB ports.

■
Remotely using a remote console through the server’s service processor. This method allows
you to boot SIA from a virtual CD/DVD-ROM. Refer to your server’s Lights Out Manager
(Integrated LOM or Embedded LOM) documentation for information on the LOM remote
console. (Note that there are multiple versions of LOM, be sure to refer to the guide that
matches your server’sinstalled version). Also see
ILOM Remote Console” on page 16
■
Remotely over the network using a PXE network boot image. Using this method can
signicantly reduce the installation time. Instructions for conguring PXE network boot
can be found in

Mouse Settings When Using SIA with ILOM Remote Console
Mouse Settings When Using SIA with ILOM Remote Console
The ILOM Remote Console feature allows an administrator to redirect a server’s keyboard,
video, and mouse to their management system. This feature is very convenient when the server
and management system are not at the same location.
The ILOM Remote Console has a mouse mode setting that congures ILOM to send mouse
events to the remote system using either “absolute” or “relative” mode. For the ILOM Remote
Console to work properly with SIA, you must congure the mouse setting to relative mode. If
your mouse is set to absolute mode, your mouse will not work when using SIA.
After using SIA, you may consider switching your ILOM Remote Console mouse setting to
absolute mode; it provides a smoother mouse experience when using a Solaris or Windows host
OS. However, if you are using a Linux host OS, absolute mode may not work properly and you
should use the relative mode setting.
Your mouse mode settings can be set using the ILOM web interface in the Mouse Mode settings
tab under the Remote Control tab. Note that some versions of ILOM require the service
processor (SP) to be reset before the change will take eect. You will be prompted by an ILOM
message if your SP needs to be reset.
