To run Sun hardware diagnostics, perform the following at the ok> prompt:
ok> setenv auto-boot? false
ok> setenv diag-switch? true
ok> setenv diag-level max
ok> setenv diag-device disk net (if appropriate)
ok> reset
(watch results of diagnostic tests)
If devices appear to be missing, you can also run the following tests:
ok> probe-scsi-all
ok> probe-sbus
ok> show-sbus
ok> show-disks
ok> show-tapes
ok> show-nets
ok> show-devs
In addition, the following commands can be used to examine the CPUs or switch to another CPU:
ok> module-info
ok> processor_number switch-cpu
At the end of this process, reset your PROM parameters:
ok> setenv auto-boot? true (if appropriate)
ok> setenv diag-switch? false (if appropriate)
(Note that the diagnostics can take a substantial amount of time to run, depending on your hardware configuration. Most admins prefer to turn them off unless they are diagnosing a problem.)
For sun4u (Ultra) systems, you can get some of this information by running /usr/platform/`arch -k`/sbin/prtdiag -v on a running system.
Results from the above should be compared to log entries in /var/adm/messages or console error messages.
Some additional PROM diagnostics are available at the ok> prompt. To discover what additional diagnostics are available for your hardware, type help diag at the ok> prompt. The output will include the appropriate syntax for all available PROM diagnostic functions. Note that reset should be run as above before running the tests. It is also possible that test-all might hang the system, requiring a power cycle.

SYNOPSIS
install-solaris
install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.
The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:
For SPARC machines:
128 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
128 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
384 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
For x86 machines:
256 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
256 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
512 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea-
tures available.
install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more
details.
install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
