Today I added the link to the SIA Sin Installation Assistant which helps to install Windows and supported Linux OS drivers onto the system.
SIA Features are
* Supports booting from a local or remote CD, USB flash drive or Network image
* Provides a graphical wizard interface
* Scans your server and installs the drivers for Sun-installed components and option cards [1]
* Optionally checks with Sun for updates to OS drivers and Sun server software
* Optionally upgrades ILOM Service Processor (SP) and BIOS firmware
* Deploys Linux, Windows and Sun-supported applications to your Sun x64 systems
* Optionally deploys using unattended scripted mode and PXE (Linux only)
Please, take a look at
[http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/sia.jsp]
and find more information, downloads of the wizard for all x64 servers, links to a manual, a BigAdmin article and a discussion forum.\\
h4. First version: 04th of April 2008
I created a whitepaper ( in german ) for customers and partners to support them to find the appropriate OS, HBAs, ethernet interface cards etc. Please, click [here|http://wikis.sun.com/spaces/listattachmentsforspace.action?key=Event] or go to Space/Attachements and choose x64_server.pdf.
Check it out and give me some feedback. (n) (y)
