Assisted Installation Using Sun
Installation Assistant (SIA)
The Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) is a tool supported for use with x64 Sun Fire and
Sun Blade servers that assists in the installation of supported Linux and Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems (OS). With SIA,
you can install the OS, the appropriate drivers, and if necessary, additional system
software by simply booting the SIA media and following the prompts.
SIA does not automate the OS installation process. You still need to follow the
installation procedures for your OS, but you do not have to inventory your system
hardware, search out and download device drivers most recently supported by Sun,
nor will you need to create a separate driver CD. SIA does that work for you.
SIA Media Availability, Updates and
Documentation
The Sun Installation Assistant CD/DVD ships with most new Sun servers that
support the x64 processor architecture. For a complete list of supported Sun server
platforms, refer to the SIA information page at:
http://www.sun.com/systemmanagement/sia.jsp
In addition, an ISO CD image of the Sun Installation Assistant is available for
download from the Sun Download page at:
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp
Updates to the SIA program can be obtained easily during the SIA installation by
using the Remote Update option in the SIA.
Documentation describing how to use SIA can be found with the rest of the
documentation for your server on the Sun documentation web site:
