To Configure a Link to a Solaris Diskless Client Image

Steps

1. Access the n1sh shell or go to the command line in the N1 System Manager browser.

   N1-ok>

2. To define a link to the diskless client image, use the create os command.

   Tip –

   When you define the link to the diskless client image, a default OS profile is created automatically.

   ---

   N1-ok> create os os-name type os-type format diskless \ tftpserver ip kernelimage path-to-kernelimage \ bootimage1 path-to-bootimage1 bootimage2 path-to-bootimage2

   Where:

   • os-name is a unique name for the distribution image. The os-name may include numbers, letters, and some special symbols. The following special symbols are prohibited: comma (,), asterisk (*), single quote ('), double quote (“), parenthesis (), question mark (?), equal sign (=), and newline (\).

   • ip identifies the IP address of the TFTP server. The default is the IP address of the management server.

   • os-type specifies the operating system of the diskless client image. Valid diskless client types include solaris and redhat.

   • path-to-kernelimage is the path to the kernel image relative to the TFTP server root directory.

   • path-to-bootimage1 is the path to the first boot image relative to the TFTP server root directory.

   • path-to-bootimage2 is the path to the second boot image relative to the TFTP server root directory.

Example 4–1 Configuring a Link to a Solaris Diskless Client Image

The following example defines a Solaris diskless client image based on a two-part boot image.

N1-ok> create os my-diskless type solaris format diskless tftpserver 10.5.4.3 \
kernelimage images/diskless-kernel bootimage1 images/diskless-boot-1 bootimage2 images/diskless-boot-2
