[size=18]Installing DiskSuite[/size]
The DiskSuite packages have moved around a bit with each release of Solaris. For Solaris 2.6
and Solaris 7, the DiskSuite packages are located on the Easy Access CD. With Solaris 8,
DiskSuite moved to the "Solaris 8 Software" cdrom number two, in the EA directory. Starting
the Solaris 9, DiskSuite is now included with the operating system.
At the time of this writing, Solaris 8 is the most commonly deployed version of Solaris, so
we'll use that as the basis for this example. The steps are basically identical for the other
releases.
1.After having completed the installation of the Solaris 8 operating system, insert the
Solaris 8 software cdrom number two into the cdrom drive. If volume management is enabled, it
will automatically mount to /cdrom/sol_8_401_sparc_2 (depending on the precise release
iteration of Solaris 8, the exact path may differ in your case):
