The sample JumpStart script is
no longer required to suppress the NFSv4 prompt |
For the Solaris 10 release, a
sample JumpStart script, set_nfs4_domain, was provided on media to prevent being prompted
during a JumpStart installation. This script suppressed the NFSv4 prompt during installation. This script
is no longer required. Starting with the Solaris 10 8/07 release, use the sysidcfg keyword, nfs4_domain to
suppress the prompt. The set_nfs4_domain script no longer works to suppress a prompt. If
you have non-global zones installed and the new nfs4_domain keyword exists in the
sysidcfg file, the first boot of a non-global zone sets the domain. Otherwise,
the Oracle Solaris interactive installation program starts and you are prompted to provide
a domain name before the boot process completes. |

Providing Auto Registration information in the
sysidcfg file keeps JumpStart installations hands-off |
Auto Registration, a feature of Oracle Solaris, is
new in the Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 release. When you install or upgrade
your system, configuration data about your system is, on rebooting, automatically communicated through the
existing service tag technology to the Oracle Product Registration System. This service tag
data about your system is used, for example, to help Oracle enhance customer
support and services. If you include the auto_reg keyword in the sysidcfg file
prior to the installation or upgrade, the installation can remain completely hands-off. However,
if you do not include the auto_reg keyword, you will be prompted
to provide your support credentials and proxy information for Auto Registration during the
installation or upgrade. |
|
Selecting a keyboard language in the sysidcfg file prevents a prompt |
If
your keyboard is not self-identifying and you want to prevent being prompted during
your JumpStart installation, select the keyboard language in your sysidcfg file. For JumpStart
installations, the default is for the U.S. English language. To select another language
and its corresponding keyboard layout, set the keyboard keyword in your sysidcfg file. |
|
If
you have non-global zones, use Live Upgrade to upgrade |
You can upgrade a
system that has non-global zones installed with JumpStart, but Live Upgrade is the
recommended program to upgrade. JumpStart might require extensive upgrade time, because the time
required to complete the upgrade increases linearly with the number of installed non-global
zones. |
|
A flash archive cannot contain non-global zones A flash archive cannot be properly
created when a non-global zone is installed. |
If you use a flash archive
to install an archive that contains non-global zones is not properly installed on
your system. The Flash Archive feature is not compatible with the
Oracle Solaris Zones partitioning technology. If you create a flash archive, the resulting
archive is not installed properly when the archive is deployed under these conditions:
|
|
When using the archive_location keyword
to install a flash archive, the archive and the installation media must contain
identical operating system versions. |
For example, if the archive is an Oracle Solaris 10
8/11 operating system and you are using DVD media, then you must use
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 DVD media to install the archive. If the operating
systems versions do not match, the installation on the clone system fails. |

SPARC: Additional
hardware requirements |
Refer to your hardware documentation for any additional requirements for your platform
that might be required to complete a JumpStart installation. |
