27.6.4 Installing the Solaris 9 OS on the SC Board
To install the Solaris™ 9 OS on the SC boards:
1. Connect to the Active SC board's CLI interface via RS-232 Console. For more
information, see Section 'Command Line Interface' on page 107.
2. Login as the root user (the default password is root).
3. Type ifconfig -a and press Enter to identify the SC hostname, IP address and
MAC address of the SC board.
Sample values are shown in red in the example below.
client224:~# ~ => ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
dmfe0: flags=1000863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu
1500 index 2
inet 10.7.13.94 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 10.7.255.255
ether 0:3:ba:78:8e:65
4. Type sync; halt and press Enter to drop the SC board to the OpenBoot level
prompt (ok>).
client224:~# ~ => sync; halt

Note: If after connecting to the SC board's RS-232 console, the OpenBoot level
prompt (ok>) prompt appears instead of the Solaris OS login prompt, type banner
and press Enter to identify the SC board's MAC address. Consult with your
network administrator to allocate the hostname and the IP address for the new SC
board.
