To Create the JumpStart Install Server and Profile Directory

1. Create the JumpStart install server and Solaris operating environment image.

   1. Log in as root on the machine you want to use as the JumpStart install server.

   2. Insert the Solaris installation CD 1 of 2 in your CD-ROM drive.

   3. Go to the Tools directory on the CD.

      # cd /DiskMountDir/Solaris_2.8/Tools

   4. Create the Solaris operating environment installation image.

      Type the command ./setup_install_server /install-server-directory, where install-server-directory is the directory that is to be used to serve the install images. For example:

      # ./setup_install_server /export/home/JumpStart/Solaris_9 Verifying target directory... Calculating the required disk space for the Solaris_9 product Copying the CD image to disk... Install Server setup complete

   5. Optional: Add the Solaris operating environment supplemental products to the JumpStart install server.

      Insert the Solaris installation CD 2 of 2 in your CD-ROM drive, and go to the Tools directory on the CD.

      Type the command ./add_to_install_server /install-server-directory, where install-server-directory is the directory that is to be used to serve the install images. For example:

      # cd /DiskMountDir/s0/Solaris_9/Tools # ./add_to_install_server /export/home/JumpStart/Solaris_9

2. Create the JumpStart profile directory on the server.

   # mkdir /export/home/JumpStart/jumpstart

3. Insert the Solaris installation CD 1 of 2 in your CD-ROM drive.

4. Copy the JumpStart samples from the CD directory Solaris_2.8/Misc/jumpstart_sample to the JumpStart profile directory /export/home/JumpStart/jumpstart. For example:

   # cd /DiskMountDir/s0/Solaris_2.8/Misc # cp -r jumpstart_sample/* /export/home/JumpStart/jumpstart

5. Stop the Network File System daemon mountd.

   # /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop

6. Make the JumpStart directory NFS-shared.

   The JumpStart directory must be NFS-shared so that the install clients can access the files on the JumpStart server. Add the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file, then save and close the file.

   share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/home/JumpStart

7. Start the Network File System daemon mountd.

   # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
