Cold Install

VxFS — The root LVM volume (/) can be configured with the VxFS file system. This is the default when choosing the LVM with the VxFS option.

DHCP — Support for obtaining and allocating IP address and networking information via the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If a DHCP server is available, systems doing installs will contact the server to get a default set of network information.

Locale — The system's language locale will be set depending on which language bundle is chosen during the installation.

Striping — Using LVM, you can choose to configure multiple disks in same volume group with data striping for increased performance.

Keywords — Several new keywords are added to the configuration file syntax for setting the keyboard language (kbdlang), SD secrets file (sd_secrets), and hook for running a script prior to running SD (pre_sd_cmd). See the instl_adm(4) manpage for details.
