Network Command or GUI 

Trusted Solaris Modification in its Use 

setup_install_server(1M)

You must be in the admin role, at label ADMIN_LOW, in a terminal where the command is in a profile assigned to the admin role.

If the admin role does not have this /pathname/ command in its assigned profiles, the secadmin role, at label ADMIN_LOW, must add it to the Custom Admin Role profile.

For the procedure, see "How to Modify a Role's Rights".

add_install_client(1M)

The requirements for this command to succeed are the same as the requirements for those for setup_install_server.

add_to_install_server(1M)

The requirements for this command to succeed are the same as those for setup_install_server.

rm_install_client(1M)

The requirements for this command to succeed are the same as those for setup_install_server.

mount(1M)

The admin role, at label ADMIN_LOW, runs this command.

If you are mounting a CD-ROM or diskette on an installed workstation, the admin role must allocate the device at a particular label, usually ADMIN_LOW. When the medium is removed, the device must be deallocated.

Host Manager 

A graphical user interface that is available from the Solaris Management Console action. You can use Host Manager to specify client information for network installation. This GUI is not available in the Solaris release.
