The following example associates the x86 client with MAC address 0:e0:81:5d:bf:e0 with the solaris11_2-i386 install service. The DHCP configuration output by this command must be added to the DHCP server. If this DHCP configuration is not done, the client cannot boot the solaris11_2-i386 install service.
# installadm create-client -n solaris11_2-i386 -e 0:e0:81:5d:bf:e0 No local DHCP configuration found. If not already configured, the following should be added to the DHCP configuration: Boot server IP : 10.80.239.5 Boot file(s) : bios clients (arch 00:00): 0100E0815DBFE0.bios uefi clients (arch 00:07): 0100E0815DBFE0.uefi
The following example shows how installadm might set the PXE boot entry for this client:
host 00E0815DBFE0 { hardware ethernet 00:E0:81:5D:BF:E0; if option arch = 00:00 { filename "0100E0815DBFE0.bios"; } else if option arch = 00:07 { filename "0100E0815DBFE0.uefi"; } }
The following results of this installadm create-client command appear in the /etc/netboot directory:
