Create an Install Server

Because the groups need to install Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 software from the network, make server-1 an install server for both groups. Use the setup_install_server(1M) command to copy the images to the server-1 local disk (in the /export/install directory). Copy the images from the either of the following media.

Oracle Solaris Software CDs and the Oracle Solaris Languages CDs

Note - Starting with the Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 release, only a DVD is provided. Oracle Solaris Software CDs are no longer provided.
Oracle Solaris Operating System DVD

The image must be copied from the disc to an empty directory, which in these examples are the sparc_10 directory and the x86_10 directory.

Example 7-1 SPARC: Copying the Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 CDs

Insert the Oracle Solaris Software for SPARC Platforms - 1 CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-1 and type the following commands:

server-1# mkdir -p /export/install/sparc_10
server-1# cd /mymountpoint/Solaris_10/Tools
server-1# ./setup_install_server /export/install/sparc_10

Insert the Oracle Solaris Software for SPARC Platforms - 2 CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-1 and type the following commands:
```
server-1# cd /mymountpoint/Solaris_10/Tools
server-1# ./add_to_install_server /export/install/sparc_10
```
Repeat the previous command for each Oracle Solaris software version you want to install.
Insert the first SPARC: Oracle Solaris Languages for SPARC Platforms CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-1 and type the following commands:
```
server-1# cd /mymountpoint/Solaris_10/Tools
server-1# ./add_to_install_server /export/install/sparc_10
```
Repeat the previous command for each SPARC: Oracle Solaris Languages for SPARC Platforms CD.

Example 7-3 x86: Copying the Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 CDs

Insert the Oracle Solaris Software for x86 Platforms - 1 CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-1 and type the following commands:

server-1# cd /mymountpoint/Solaris_10/Tools
server-1# ./setup_install_server /export/install/x86_10

Insert the Oracle Solaris Software for x86 Platforms - 2 CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-1 and type the following commands:
```
