Installation Requirements Before beginning the operating system installation, make sure that the following requirements are met.
For all installation methods: Complete the procedures in the previous chapters of this document (Chapters 2 through 5). Verify that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the appropriate connections on your server. Make sure to leave a USB port free if you selected the Floppy Disk Local mass storage drivers installation method. Make a note of the server s mass storage controller. The instructions included in this chapter assume you are using one of these controllers. There are two possibilities, depending on your server: LSI-based integrated RAID controller (you will see a banner for this displayed during POST) Adaptec-based integrated RAID controller (you will see a banner for this displayed during POST) If your server uses an LSI-based integrated RAID controller and you want to include your boot drive as part of a RAID configuration, you will need to configure a RAID volume(s) using the controller s BIOS configuration utility (accessible by pressing Ctrl+C when prompted during server boot) before you install the Windows operating system. If your server uses an Adaptec-based integrated RAID controller, choose one of the following installation options that best matches your needs: 3344 If you want to include your boot disk as part of a RAID configuration, you must configure your RAID volume(s) using the controller s array configuration utility before you install the Windows operating system.
The controller s BIOS configuration utility is accessible during the server boot process by pressing Ctrl+A when prompted. If you have a clean boot disk (no partitions) and do not want to make it part of a RAID, you must still create an array volume on it using the controller s BIOS configuration utility (accessible by pressing Ctrl+A when prompted during server boot) in order for Windows to be able to access the disk. This must be done before you install the Windows operating system. For more information, see Appendix B. If you have a disk with a preinstalled bootable array volume (and it is not part of an existing RAID that you want to keep) and you want to overwrite it to install Windows, no other disk preparation is required. During the Windows operating system installation you will be presented the option to overwrite any existing partition(s) within the array volume.
The following figure shows an example of a system with an existing bootable array volume. FIGURE 6-1 Example Startup Screen Showing Existing Adaptec-based Array Volume For information about specific details of the operating system installation, refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation.

Note that if you are using the floppy disk local installation method, the JavaRConsole floppy drive or floppy image devices must not be redirected. Connect the floppy drive to the JavaRConsole system (if necessary) and insert the mass-storage drivers floppy disk into the floppy drive. Ensure that the floppy.img file is accessible from the JavaRConsole system. Make sure that the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 installation media and a DVD-ROM drive are available. Insert the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 installation media into the JavaRConsole system s CD or DVD-ROM drive. Ensure that the Windows Server 2003 installation media is accessible from the JavaRConsole system.

The Configuration Wizard in the MSM program simplifies the process of creating disk groups and virtual disk drives by guiding you through several simple steps to create your storage configurations. MSM works with the appropriate operating system (OS) libraries and drivers to configure, monitor, and maintain storage configurations attached to x64 servers. The MSM GUI displays device status in the form of icons, which represent the controllers, virtual disk drives, and physical disk drives on your system.
Special icons appear next to the device icons on the screen to notify you of disk failures and other events that require immediate attention. System errors and events are recorded in an event log file and are displayed on the screen. For information on using MSM, refer to the Sun LSI 106x RAID User s Guide for your server on the Sun product documentation web site at: Managing RAID Using the StorageTek RAID Manager For Sun servers with an Adaptec-based internal RAID controller, you can use the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager graphical user interface (GUI), command line interface (CLI) or the Adaptec Configuration Utility to build your storage space. The Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software is an application that helps you build a storage space for your online data. Your storage space can include directattached or internal RAID storage.
With the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager software, you can group disk drives into logical drives and build in redundancy to protect your data and improve system performance. You can also use the software to monitor and manage all the HBAs, enclosures, and disk drives in your storage space from a single location.
Chapter 8 Update the Critical Server-Specific Drivers 5768 The Adaptec Configuration Utility is a BIOS-based utility that enables you to create and manage controllers, disk drives and other devices, and arrays using the integrated RAID controller (Adaptec-based). If you use the BIOS Configuration Utility to create arrays, the Sun StorageTek RAID Manager GUI detects those arrays and displays them as logical drives in the GUI. The arrconf command-line interface (CLI) can be used with the Sun StorageTek SAS RAID HBA to perform many of the same tasks provided with the StorageTek RAID Manager GUI.
Available documentation for the above components may be found on the Sun documentation web site at: Using Intel NIC Teaming Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager is an extension to the Windows Device Manager. When you update the critical drivers for your Sun Fire server, Intel PROSet software configuration tabs are automatically added to the network adapters listed in Device Manager. Intel PROSet includes features such as teaming of your network interface ports, fault tolerance, load balancing, link aggregation, and Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging.
