Process Overview

1. Create profile server

2. Create rules file

3. Create profile

4. test profile

5. validate rules to create rules.ok file

Procedures

1. create jumpstart directory on jumpstart server

2. edit /etc/dfs/dfstab adding

   share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart_dir

3. enter: shareall

4. cd /cdrom_path/Solaris_2.6/Misc

5. cp -r jumpstart_sample/* /jumpstart_dir

6. edit /etc/bootparams adding line

   * install_config=jumpstart_server:/jumpstart_dir

7. create a rules file to point to the profile

8. create a profile giving instructions on how to build (both of these can be modelled from example files)

9. /usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D -c /cdrom_path/s0 profile_name to check profile

10. run /jumpstart_dir/check to validate rules

    either

11. cd /cdrom_path/Solaris_2.6/Tools

    or

    copy cd on to disk using /cdrom_path/.../setup_install_server /directory the cd to the install directory

12. ./add_install_client -e ethernet_address_of_install_server -c servername:/jumpstart_dir hostname model

    e.g. ./add_install_client -e 08:00:20:89:71:34 -c suns01:/jumpstart suns02 sun4u

    Note:The target host must be defined on /etc/hosts

13. boot the install server from the OK prompt using: boot net -install
