In order to install the IBM LS42 blade server with the Solaris 10 5/08 OS, it is necessary to create a custom install image and perform some post install steps.
But first, you should verify that the Advanced Management Module (AMM) firmware on the BladeCenter is Version 1.42N Build ID: BPET42N (or later). This update is required in order to avoid problems with keyboard and mouse communications between the AMM KVM and the blade. Without this update, the LS42 blade server may hang under certain conditions. For details see document ID MIGR-5076204 on the IBM website or visit the weblink:
An interesting post about installing Solaris 10 on the IBM LS42 (I was looking for this a few days ago), when one of my friends was asking if I’d done it. I confess I hadn’t but this was a good article talking about it.
