On a true server class machine, the network card will not be fully working yet so read, get your network card working. On a simple demo vm install it should be already working.
At this point you may should work remotely using ssh. It's faster than terminal and you will be able to copy and paste more easily. To do so you must minimally set up the home directory and add your user account. See the section below, Setup of Account. Just keep in mind that you won't have the bash shell yet so do not specify a default shell.

Reboot for the change to take effect. grep -i link /var/adm/messages* after booting to verify the link speed is correct.
Configuring SSHD for Remote Access
In the event SSHD is installed manually after the base installation, post-installation configuration is required. SSHD host keys need to be generated to allow ssh connections to the system. To achieve this, run the following:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
/lib/svc/method/sshd -c
svcadm restart ssh |
Setup Time Synchronization
Ensure time stays correct on your server,
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

# Create the ntp.conf file in /etc/inet/ntp.conf
# Note - zones use NTP off the global zone. The following configuration is not necessary for zones.
su - root
vi /etc/inet/ntp.conf
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
server 10.0.44.74
server 10.234.2.6
Stop and start the ntp service to enable.
svcadm enable network/ntp
Check that ntp is working,
ntpq
ntpq> peers
ntpq> quit

Install Essential Packages
There are other packages that we will now install. We choose to install these package manually rather than during the initial server setup step. We do this to remove unnecessary dependencies (extra packages being installed) and also because the interface during that step is really really slow.(It appears that the Reduced Networking Core System Support doesn't list SSH)

Mount your cdrom drive to /mnt/cdrom
Manually install packages as follows and in the outlined order. If you do not want to use the order provided, make sure to check package dependencies with the command, pkginfo. Package list details can be found at,http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0545/sparcpackagelist-tbl-1?a=view
