Chapter 3 Powering On the System 57
Booting the Solaris Operating System
The Solaris OS is preinstalled on the servers on the disk in slot 0. The Solaris OS is
not configured (that is, the sys-unconfig command was run in the factory). If you
boot the system from this disk, you will be prompted to configure the Solaris OS for
your environment.
▼ To Boot the Solaris Operating System
1. At the ok prompt, boot from the disk that contains the Solaris OS.
■ If you know which disk to boot from, skip this step and perform Step 2.
■ If you need to determine which disk to boot from, issue the show-disks
command at the ok prompt to see the path to the configured disks, similar to the
following:
2. Type the boot command at the ok prompt.
Use the value from Step 1 to construct the boot command. You must append the
target to the disk path.
In the following example, the server is booted from disk 0 (zero) on a SPARC
Enterprise T5120 server.
ok show-disks
