Solaris 9 12/03 Installation Guide

Local File

You can retrieve an archive that you stored in the miniroot from which you booted the clone system as a local file. When you perform a custom JumpStart installation, you boot the system from a CD-ROM or an NFS-based miniroot. The installation software is loaded and run from this miniroot. Therefore, a Solaris Flash archive that you stored in the CD-ROM or NFS-based miniroot is accessible as a local file. Use the following syntax for the archive_location keyword.


archive_location local_file path/filename 
path

The location of the archive. The path must be accessible to the system as a local file while the system is booted from the Solaris Installation CD or from the Solaris DVD. The system cannot access /net when it is booted from the Solaris Installation CD or from the Solaris DVD.

filename

The name of the Solaris Flash archive file.

Example:

archive_location local_file /archives/usrarchive
