Jumpstart Installation with out the any files.

1- Load and mount the Solaris 9 CD-ROM on a client on the same subnet,

2- Run the script to copy the CD to disk

on apss8015 server -

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_9/Tools

./setup_install_server /var/tmp/solaris

3- Copy CD #2 to disk --- not required.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_9/Tools

./add_to_install_server /var/tmp/solaris

# cd /var/tmp/solaris/Solaris_9/Tools

# ./add_install_client -i 10.217.72.55 -e 00:03:ba:3d:70:75 webs8007 sun4u

This command will do a lot of things to your system

- It setups NFS and shares the install dir: /var/tmp/Solaris and read only for everyone.

- enables the tftp protocol on the server and creates /tftpboot, then copy some files to /tftpboot

the /tftpboot now contains several files

apss8015:/tftpboot #ls

0AD94837 rm.10.217.72.55

0AD94837.SUN4U tftpboot

inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1

apss8015:/tftpboot #

- it updates the file /etc/bootparams

apss8015:/tftpboot #cat /etc/bootparams

webs8007.uhc.com root=apss8015:/var/tmp/solaris/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot install=ap

ss8015:/var/tmp/solaris boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768

apss8015:/tftpboot #

- it starts up some daemons that you may not want to have running all the time

/usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a

/usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd

and all the NFS stuff.

Then from the ok prompt

On the client

ok> boot net - install

ok boot net - install
