About boot media for Solaris

You must have the Solaris installation media (Software 1 of 2) that created the SRT you copy to the CD/DVD. You must enter the device name that contains the installation media.

After you enter the information about the SRT, the following information appears:

    What do you want to use for temporary space?
    Select one of the following options:
        1. Use a disk group.
        2. Use a raw partition.
    Enter your selection (1-2) [1] :

    Enter 1 or 2. Then enter the name of the disk group or the device file for the raw partition. If you use a raw partition for temporary storage, you are prompted to continue.

  • If Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is not installed on the BMR boot server, the following appears:

    Enter the name of a partition of size 103040 or more blocks

    Enter the name of the device file for the raw partition. Then respond to the next prompt if you want to continue.

After the CD/DVD image is created, restart the vold process (/etc/init.d/volmgt start) if you stopped it before running the command bmrsrtadm.
