Setting Up the SSP As a Boot Server

Perform this procedure for each domain on which the Solaris 7 will be loaded.

1. Insert the Solaris CD disk.

   The Volume Manager takes about one minute to mount the CD-ROM.

2. Change to the /Tools directory:

   ---

   ssp# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.7/Tools

   ---

3. Set up the host domain as an install client:

   ---

   ssp# ./add_install_client domain_name sun4u

   ---

   The add_install_client command should share the CD across the net. If you receive the following warning, perform the share(1M) command in Step 3a.

   ---

   prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem

   ---

   1. Share the CD across the net:

      ---

      ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
      

      ---

4. Exit the superuser level.
