Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Installing Over the Network

The admin role is in charge of installing over a network. The secadmin role is called upon to modify or set up files or profiles to enable the admin role to complete software installation.

Boot Over the Network or with Custom Files

Prerequisite: The network and/or custom files are correctly set up.

See the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide, 806-0957-10, which describes network installations. The Solaris network installation procedures apply to Trusted Solaris network installations, with the Trusted Solaris security protections described in "Trusted Solaris Modifications to Network Installation" and "Setting Up Custom JumpStart Installation".

  1. Boot using the appropriate boot command on the system being installed.

    Example 3-3 SPARC: Boot command for a network installation


    boot net
    Example 3-4 SPARC: Boot command for a custom JumpStart installation


    boot net - install

    A space is required between the minus sign and install.

    After you type the boot command, the system checks hardware and system components, then connects with the install server. The following screen provides an example of what you see.


    Rebooting with command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/network@1,1      File and args:

    Complete Trusted Solaris configuration.

    For JumpStart installations--You must connect the client to the domain and initialize SMC, as described in "Connecting to the Name Server".

    For network installations--You must do the procedures in "Client Configuration Tasks", except you do not have to add the client to the domain.
