   ---

   Note -

   If you create more than one sysidcfg file, you must save each one in a separate directory or on a separate diskette.

   ---

4. Make the sysidcfg file available to clients through the following:

   • A shared NFS file system. Use add_install_client(1M) with the -p option to set up the system to install from the network.

   • The root (/) directory on a UFS diskette.

SPARC: Example sysidcfg File

The following is an example of a sysidcfg file. The host names, IP addresses, and netmask of these systems have been preconfigured by editing the name service. Because all of the system configuration information is preconfigured in this file, you can use a custom JumpStart profile to perform a custom JumpStart installation.
