2-6 Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Getting Started Guide • April 2006
2.3 Running the up2date Utility
If you are installing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux software, run the up2date utility
after installing the operating system and before installing the video drivers from the
Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental CD.
Note – If you have already installed the NVIDIA drivers, you must reinstall them
after running up2date, because the kernel is updated.
2.4 Installing Drivers and Mounting the
Diagnostic Partition
After installing the operating system, run the installation script provided on the Sun
Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental CD to install the drivers that correspond to your
operating system.
The Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Supplemental CD is included with your Sun Ultra 20
Workstation. You can also download the Supplemental CD from the downloads link
at:
http://www.sun.com/ultra20
You also need to run this script to mount the diagnostic partition for all supported
operating systems if you have created a new diagnostic partition. (See the Sun Ultra
20 Workstation User Guide, 819-2146, for information about how to create a diagnostic
partition.) The diagnostic partition cannot be mounted on a Windows XP
workstation.
