  Tutorial: Automating the Installation of an FC-Fabric SAN Booted System

Read about how an enterprise deployed and extended the Sun Data Center Reference Architecture to become its Service Delivery Platform.

Tutorial Details:

Enabling the Solaris Boot Image for SAN

Rapid automated system and application provisioning are two of the main goals of the Sun Data Center Reference Architecture, and this is normally achieved through a combination of the JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit (JET) and N1 Grid Service Provisioning System. However, JET fundamentally relies on the Solaris JumpStart technology to put an operating environment on a disk, and therein lies a problem. The Solaris 9 media as shipped is not SAN-aware. To make it recognize SAN-attached devices, these additional packages are required:

SUNWsan
SUNWcfpl
SUNWcfplx
SUNWfchba
SUNWcfclr
SUNWfchbr
SUNWfchbx
SUNWfcsm
SUNWfcsmx
SUNWcfcl
SUNWcfclx
SUNWmdiu

Further, the SAN boot functionality depends on Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation software, version 4.3 and above
