A diskette that contains a JumpStart directory is called a profile diskette. A system that is not connected to the network does not have access to a profile server. As a result, you must create a JumpStart directory on a diskette if a system is not connected to a network. The system on which you create a profile diskette must have a diskette drive.
The JumpStart directory contains all of the essential custom JumpStart files, for example, the rules file, rules.ok file, and profiles. You must save the JumpStart directory in the root (/) directory of the profile diskette.
See one of the following procedures:
Note - This procedure assumes that the system is running Volume Manager. If you are not using Volume Manager to manage diskettes, CDs, and DVDs, refer to System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems for detailed information about managing removable media without Volume Manager.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# volcheck
Examine the contents of the file /etc/mnttab on the system for an entry such as the following:
/vol/dev/diskette0/scrap /floppy/scrap ufs suid,rw,largefiles,dev=1740008 927147040
If the entry exists, go to Step 7.
If the entry does not exist, go to the next step.
# newfs /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
If no, go to Step 10.
If yes, use the following decision table to determine what to do next.
|
# cp -r media_path/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/* jumpstart_dir_path
The path to the CD, DVD, or image on the local disk
The path to the profile diskette where you want to place the example custom JumpStart files
Note - You must place all custom JumpStart installation files in the root (/) directory on the diskette.
For example, the following command copies the contents of jumpstart_sample on the Solaris Software for SPARC Platforms - 1 CD to the root (/) directory on a profile diskette that is named scrap:
cp -r /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/* /floppy/scrap
# eject floppy
You have completed the creation of a profile diskette. You can now update the rules file and create profiles on the profile diskette to perform custom JumpStart installations. To continue, go to Creating the rules File.
Use this procedure to create a profile diskette with GRUB. A GRUB menu is provided during the installation procedure that enables the boot process. The GRUB menu replaces the Solaris Device Configuration Assistant that might have been needed to boot a system in past releases.
Note - This procedure assumes that the system is running Volume Manager. If you are not using Volume Manager to manage diskettes, CDs, and DVDs, refer to System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems for detailed information about managing removable media without Volume Manager.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
# volcheck
If no, go to Step 8.
If yes, use the following decision table to determine what to do next.
|
# cp -r media_path/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/* jumpstart_dir_path
The path to the CD, DVD, or image on the local disk
The path to the profile diskette where you want to place the example custom JumpStart files
Note - You must place all custom JumpStart installation files in the root (/) directory on the profile diskette.
For example, the following command copies the contents of jumpstart_sample on the Solaris Software for x86 Platforms - 1 CD to the root (/) directory on a profile diskette that is named scrap:
cp -r /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/* /floppy/scrap
You have completed the creation of a profile diskette. Now you can update the rules file and create profiles on the profile diskette to perform custom JumpStart installations. To continue, go to Creating the rules File.
