Trying to boot Solaris without hard drives in T5220
I have three Sun Oracle Netra T5220s. I am trying to just get the processor information psrinfo or prtdiag -v from the # prompt in single user mode.
I am needing to know the commands to get to boot the CD/DVD of the Solaris OS. I am using it via Serial Port Management.
Tinkering around I was able to access the (ok) command. I the boot-disk command for the long file name with /disk at the end was not able to boot from. It was a install of Solaris 11 burned on a DVD. (Dont know if being a DVD or the wrong version had to do with anything.)
