To Validate a Solaris JumpStart Image

Validating an image puts the image in a deployable state.

Steps

1. Import the JumpStart image as described in Importing Images.

2. Customize the boot and configuration JumpStart servers as described in Customizing the JumpStart Boot and Configuration Server.

3. Obtain a list of images by using the image -ls command.

4. Use the following command to validate the image:

   image -C -i image_name server_type disk_type controller_type disk_size

   Example:

   image -C -i solaris-jumpstart-validate-img sunfireb100s-95-blade local ide 3004789248

   The following shows the output of the image -l command before image validation:

   image -l IMAGE_ID IMAGE_NAME CUSTOMER SIZE OS TYPE STATE 3 sw@50150 __grid__ 19809 disk_image READY 92 solaris-jumpstart-validate-img __grid__ 1 solarisjumpstart NOT READY LOCATION nfs://3001//images/jumpstart-3

   The following shows the output of the image -l command after image validation:

   image -l IMAGE_ID IMAGE_NAME CUSTOMER SIZE OS TYPE STATE 92 solaris-jumpstart-validate-img __grid__ 1 solarisjumpstart READY LOCATION nfs://3001//images/jumpstart-3
