To Create the JumpStart Setup for the x86 Architecture

Steps

1. Use the Solaris 9 x86 DVD the /images/s9u5x directory to hold the Solaris 9 distribution.

2. Follow the instructions given above for SPARC architecture to create a Solaris x86 installation server , but instead of /images/s9u5s use the/images/s9u5x path.

3. Patch the miniroot shipped with Solaris 9 12/03 x86 for the drivers for Sun Fire B100x, Sun Fire B200x. See the Sun Fire B1600 Chassis, and B100s, B100x, and B200x Blade Product Notes and the section Applying Mandatory Software Patches to the Solaris x86 Install Image for patching details.

4. On the image server create the following directory:

   mkdir -m 755 /var/tmp/blades

5. Download the software by following the instructions in section Solaris x86 Drivers and Documentation of the Sun Fire B1600 Chassis, and B100s, B100x, and B200x Blade Product Notes.

6. Save the downloaded file to the directory /var/tmp/blades.

7. At the Solaris prompt on the system you are going to use as the network installation server, unzip the files you have downloaded:

   cd /var/tmp/blades unzip mis.259-4174-11.zip

8. Change to the directory in which you placed mis.259-4174-11.zip by typing:

   cd /var/tmp/blades

9. Add the patches and packages automatically to the network installation server image by typing:

   ./modify_install_server -d /images/s9u5x
