Installation Differences

Installation on most hardware is identical to Solaris 7 installation. The two exceptions are:

• Solaris^TM Web Start is not supported

• Installing and configuring the Sun Enterprise^TM 10000 (E10000), also called Starfire^TM, is modified for Trusted Solaris security. See Trusted Solaris 7 Installation and Configuration on the Sun Enterprise 10000 for explanation and procedures.

Solaris installation features that Trusted Solaris 7 supports include:

• Trusted Solaris network and jumpstart installations are identical to Solaris network and jumpstart installations.

• sys-unconfig(1M) is supported.

• Unlike Trusted Solaris 2.5.1 installation, Trusted Solaris 7 installation does not offer label configuration options; sensitivity labels are configured after installation, not during. Therefore, the config_data file and its corresponding man page do not exist since there are no Trusted Solaris configuration options for network installations.

To distribute a site label encodings file during installation in Trusted Solaris 7 requires a customized JumpStart installation. See "Create a Finish Script to Add Files after Installation" in Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration for an example.
